Jackson Hole is surrounded by some of the most spectacular scenery in North America and offers a unqiue experience both on and off the slopes. This is a real, old fashioned, Western town, with raised wooden boardwalks and authentic cowboy saloons.
The main ski area is at Teton village, about 12 miles away, but reached by the regular shuttle buses.
In addition there is also the Snow King ski area in town which has some surprisingly steep runs and is open for night skiing.
Jackson Hole is in the U.S. known for its relatively steep terrain and it has one of North America's highest vertical drop of 1262 meters. The size is comparable with a small ski resort in the Alps. The ski area partially covers two mountains; known for its challenging terrain, the runs are 50% expert, 40% intermediate, and 10% beginner. The intermediate terrain is primarily on Apres Vous Mountain, while Rendezvous Mountain has Jackson Hole's more advanced terrain that includes bowls, glades, and chutes, and over 4100 vertical feet of skiing, the greatest continuous inbounds rise in the U.S.
Jackson Hole has become the home to many of the world's best free skiers as the terrain is considered to be some of the most challenging in North America. In addition to the skiable terrain inbounds, there is an even larger area to be explored off-piste (out of bounds). These areas are accessed through marked gates by expert skiers/boarders who are equipped with avalanche safety gear. The terrain has not only attracted the top skiers in the world but also one of the leading ski film companies, Teton Gravity Research. Jackson Hole is home to one of the most well known expert ski runs in the world, Corbet's Couloir.
In addition to skiing, there are many other outdoor activities in both the winter and summer. Nordic skiing, dog sledding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, balloon rides, paragliding, fishing, hiking, biking, and climbing are some of the activities visitors and year round residents enjoy at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.
