Jackson Hole Mountain Resort

11/21/2006 Posted by twig3721

Jackson Hole is amazing. That's all there is to it. JHMR itself has the best in the US hands down. The snow, terrain, and scenery are awesome. All the staff and locals are very friendly and helpful, always happy to share ski tips and the best powder spots. There's a great kids' program and terrain for almost every level of skiier. Not to mention, there are 3 other ski areas within a 2 hour drive (Snow King, White Pine, and Grand Targhee) to give you different terrain styles and snow. Jackson is a great town, with lots of Old West atmosphere and fun activities. Yellowstone is only a 3 hour drive, and Jackson Hole is right on the edge of Bridger-Teton National Forrest and Grand Teton National Park. All in all, Jackson Hole is an amazing vacation package that's underrated because of its remote location and lack of nightlife.

Pros: Great Atmosphere, Lack of Crowds (Except near Christmas), Scenery, Snow

Cons: Hard to travel to

The only bad thing about Jackson Hole is the lift lines keep getting longer every year, and they are starting to approach Colorado's lines on big powder days. Don't come here if you want to ski/board miles of groomed runs, because they're not to be found. If you can't handle the deep powder, the trees, the steeps, the cliff bands, the out-of-bounds, you're gonna be left sitting in the lodge or get bored on the few groomers fast. There is ENDLESS amazing terrain, it's just not for you fashion bunnies. If you like Whistler or Crested Butte, you might be able to handle it here. Otherwise, stick to Summit County, CO and leave this place to the faithful.

Pros: Terrain/Open Gates, Snow Quality, Remoteness

Cons: Tram Lines, Cold, Tourists

The hole has the best snowboarding! The terrain is absolutely wicked, you cant find more vertical and pow! Once you pull into Jackson you absolutely fall in love with the place and never want to leave. People there are way chill. There is never long lines for the lifts, and never to many people on the mountain, because its so huge. Everyone should board or ski the Hole atleast once in their life. You will never regret it!!!!!!!

Pros: Best Vertical & Pow, People are awesome, Parking is close

JH is a great resort & place to ski...but it is not a place for beginners, especially when it is packed ice. The second run of the day, I tore my ACL and it turns out that there were a few others who also did the same.

Pros: Nice Clinic :)

I have skied all over the world and there is no better place. They always have fresh powder, the people are amazing and the skiing is tough as can be. There are never lift lines and the skiing is wide open. It's the perfect place to ski!

Pros: Terrain, Powder, Not crowded

Cons: None, None, None

Jackson Hole is by far the best skiing in this country! The terrain is difficult, the snow is great and the crowd is minimal compared to other skiing destinations. The mountain is big and it is not easy so only the experienced will be able to enjoy what JH has to offer. There are some bunny slopes, but not that many. The town is great so are the restaurants and the views are amazing. Doesn't have the ritz of a Vail or an Aspen, but according to me, those are just wannabe mountains anyway.

Pros: Beautiful, Great Terrain, Short Lines

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is the best skiing in the nation. It has everthing from bunny hills to expert terrain. It has a terrain park, wonderful ski school and many other benefits. Jackson Hole has its own airport, so it really isn't that far out of reach. It also doesn't have the huge crowds and lines of other main ski areas. So you can get on the lift and have space coming down.

Pros: small crowds, lodging and food, terrain

Cons: more parking
