Skiing
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) is simply the best ski area in this country. Before getting on the Tram to the top of Rendezvous Mountain at 10,450’, the sign reads: “Our mountain is like nothing you have ever skied before! It is huge. You could become lost. You could make a mistake and suffer personal injury or death. Give this special mountain the respect it demands!”. Although our mountain is known for our advanced skier terrain, don’t be fooled because JHMR has more than enough skiing for everyone. You may want to take twenty feet of air to get into the famous Corbet’s Coulior from the top, or you may chose to ride the high speed quad to the top of Apre Vous mountain to catch a long groomed run to the base area. No matter what your skiing skill level is, JHMR has something for everyone. In the town of Jackson is Snow King ski area. There you can chose a much smaller mountain and even some night skiing. And, if you’ve never been to Targhee Ski area, about one and a half hours from Jackson on the back side of the Tetons, then you may want to check out some of the best intermediate powder skiing this country has to offer.
