Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
Connu pour son terrain «escarpé et profond» (Jackson Hole Mountain Resort abrite certains des terrains les plus avancés du pays) et des chutes de neige annuelles atteignant en moyenne 450 pouces par hiver, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort est la Mecque d'un chien de poudreuse. Mais ce que vous ne savez peut-être pas, c'est que Jackson Hole a un terrain débutant et intermédiaire incroyable: près de 50% du terrain de la station est réservé aux skieurs moins expérimentés. Situé dans le village de Teton, à environ 20 km de la ville de Jackson, le Mountain Resort est animé toute l'année avec des skieurs et des snowboardeurs passionnés en hiver et des randonneurs et des motards en été. Bien sûr, le tramway aérien de renommée mondiale de Jackson Hole fonctionne toute l'année et constitue un moyen fabuleux d'admirer les vues imprenables sur le parc national de Grand Teton, la vallée de la rivière Snake et la chaîne de Gros Venture.
The basics
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is served by eight chairlifts, a gondola, and the resort’s famed red aerial tram. Lessons are available for skiers and riders of all levels with backcountry camps for skiers looking to learn about avalanche awareness. The resort also offers cross-country skiing and snowshoeing tours into nearby Grand Teton National Park.

When to get there
Ski season generally runs from Thanksgiving (the last Thursday in November) through early April, while summer activities are open from late May through September. Lift lines can get crowded so avoid the resort on weekends, holidays, and around the President’s Day long weekend (the third Monday in February). On powder days, make sure to get to the resort at least half an hour before it opens.
The Jackson Hole Aerial Tram
Taking a ride on Jackson Hole’s Aerial Tram is by far the most popular activity at the resort. In just 12 minutes, the tram whisks riders up 4,139 feet (1,260 meters) for incredible panoramic views of the Jackson Hole valley. Tram rides are offered in both summer and winter and you won’t want to miss Corbet’s Cabin’s waffles at the summit.
