The Skiers' Guide to Jackson Hole

I went in early January when the snow wasn’t really that good yet since they haven’t gotten much snow this year so far. I skied pretty much every lift and all the runs were very icey and crowded, but that doesn’t really feel like the resorts fault it’s just what the conditions were. It is a really wealthy area and everything is pretty expensive, but prices seem normal when compared to ski resorts in Colorado

Jackson hole was tons of fun, but poor weather, lack of snow, and large crowds did not help to make this an unforgettable ski trip.

Absolutely amazing time. Visibility can be tough at the top of the tram so be prepared for that. Lodging was nearby, affordable, and we were able to get to the slope by shuttle. The shuttle is a dollar each way which was a bit steep. The snow on the mountain was amazing, and there were many slopes to explore. Park was fun but nothing special. The food ranged from overpriced to shockingly affordable depending on where you go. The restaurant at the four seasons has big boots of beer and the best spiked hot chocolate you’ll ever have.

Amazing powder and miles of complex, technical runs. Friendly lift staff and decent food/toilet options on the mountain. Queues could be extremely long in the mornings but did quiet down.

AWSOM SKIING, ALWAYS GREAT SNOW, IF YOU DO NOT GO THIS YEAR, NEXT YEAR YOU WILL BE A YEAR OLDER AND EVEN MORE FEABLE !! SO GO .

Jackson Hole provides a wonderful family ski resort experience. The snow is superb and ski staff are very nice. Apres-ski activities are a mix of western snd modern offerings

This resort was just okay. We had a good time but I feel as if it was not as family oriented which is a key factor for us. My husband did not love the lifts but we would not count this resort out. We may have just gone on a bad week.

I loved this resort for its culture. Its very American Wild West vibe. I loved being able to ski to our condo door. Its been many years since I have been there, since then I have skied small resorts like Cyprus in Canada BC, Grouse mountain and Whistler/ Blackcomband they were all great skiing places but the flavour and fun of Jackson Hole will always be my favourite I hope to go back one day

JHMR has some of the best terrain in the US. Steep tree lines, sick cliffs, and amazing smooth & Fast Groomers. I love riding In Jackson and can always find a powder stash or two in the trees...If it's not already dumping outside.

I had not been skiing in 5 yrs, due to a broken ski heart. The last time I skied, it was with my Mother in Aspen, CO. My Mother had Stage 4 Lung cancer that had traveled to her brain and bones.She still wanted to ski with me on my 50th birthday. We went up to the top of the Mountain, she tried with all her strength, and determination. She was able to ski a little bit, but we had to call ski patrol to take her down the mountain. It broke my ski heart.However, Ive just returned from Jackson Hole. Beautiful Teton Village, 10 of powder, excellent restaurants, and everyone was so nice. The skiing was EPIC, and my heart is not broken anymore.

Went 3 days before Christmas and it was DEAD!! No lift lines!! Had just gotten 3 ft of snow the week before so more of the mountain was open. Absolutely loved it. Teton village was smaller than expected but that was a very nice surprise. Will definitely be going back

my first time out west and i wouldnt of changed a single thing. jackson hole is a #1 snowboarding destination ️

Absolutely beautiful - can be pricey but incredible experience - especially fast lift lines! Town is also very cute, better for those with at least a little skiing experience - powder tends to be awesome but could be hard for people just learning to ski

Jackson Hole resort is great when there is lots of powder. Surprised at the lack of grooming at this resort. Runs can get icy from lack of grooming. The tram to the top is SUPER inefficient. Can take an hour or more just to ride to the top. And the terrain at the top is not really that great.Lodging options in Teton village are super expensive. And the shuttle from resort back to town can take > half an hour at peak times. The best thing about Jackson Hole are the nightlife options in town. Million dollar cowboy bar is super fun. Recommend stay in town for better nightlife and more reasonable accommodations.

I loved Jackson Hole! Went in early January 2024 and there wasnt much snow but they still opened as much of the mountain as possible and ran the mountain as efficiently as possible. I took two days of semi-private lessons with Tyler and he was awesome, made me feel so confident in my technique and helped me improve so much.

Jackson Hole is a steep resort with a variety of terrain offering something for every type of skier. Not only are the views incredible, there are hardly any lift lines and the runs are pretty long making the lift ticket completely worth the cost! The village at the base called Teton Village has a lot of great restaurants, shops, and lodging (although expensive). Jackson Hole is really the perfect place whether youre intermediate or going off-piste, and the steepness will definitely challenge and improve your skills. Theres a reason it has such a great reputation!

OH MAN! My favorite resort Ive been to yet! Ive done two trips there and its my retirement plan to live there lol! As a snowboarder I really appreciate how STEEP everything is. Theres only two flat areas where you need to keep your speed up that I can think of (bottom of rendezvous bowl and at the very bottom theres one connecting run where you dont even need a lot is speed you just wont get going again from a full stop unless you do the shuffle, oh and one more kind of like that on the teewinot side but none of them are that bad, the rendezvous bowl bottom part is the only one where you really need to keep your speed up.), everything else is so so fun and fast. Ive never had as much fun at a resort as Ive had at Jackson (well, mammoth maybe but only because I go there all the damn time).

I rated the terrain park lower only because there really arent that many terrain parks to speak of. The two that come to mind that Ive been through were totally fun and fine but if youre a park rat expecting a huge park this might not be the spot for you. Honestly, if youre coming to Jackson Hole for the terrain parks youre going for the wrong reason, but if you go through one on your way to the bottom youll still have a good time. Im also not much of a park rider so take my terrain park reviews with a grain of salt.

TLDR, Jackson Hole is a damn good time, highly recommend it. Its steep as hell, so dont let your ego take over, stay in control, stay safe, and youll have the most fun youve had in a long time!

Jackson Hole has great lift-served terrain and fun side country. Ski school instructors are very good. Overall prices continue to increase drastically and make it hard to have an affordable vacation here.

An enjoyable resort for beginners, with a speedy lift and just enough people around to feel safe while keeping some room for mistakes. If you're a pro, you'll likely enjoy their slalom and certainly the responsive and accomodating staff.

Jackson Hole is one of the best mountains in the USA. it has great terrain, but likely only intermediate to expert level skiers will enjoy most of the mountain as the terrain can be very difficult.

The snow quality is unmatched. The powder is fluffy and so fun to shred through. The runs are long and steep which gives your legs a workout but a ton of fun.

It's been getting more crowded now, but it's more controlled than other resorts (e.g Vail)
