Jackson Hole: Jackson Hole Ski
built 648 days ago
Jackson Hole is home to many of the world's best freeskiers as the terrain is considered to be some of the most challenging in North America and the world. In addition to the massive amount of skiable terrain in bounds there is an even larger area to be explored off piste or out of bounds. These areas are only to be accessed through marked gates and should only be skied if one is of expert ability and properly equipped with avalanche safety gear. The terrain has not only attracted the best skiers in the world but ... one of the leading ski film companies, Teton Gravity Research. Jackson Hole is also home to one of the most famous expert ski runs in the world, Corbet's Couloir.

[B]ecause a Jackson Hole ski vacation is set in the heart of the Grand Tetons, there are spectacular "extras" like Yellowstone National Park and Old Faithful as well as the National Elk Refuge nearby. Off-slope activities are numerous and interesting and include choices such as snow biking, dogsleds and sleigh rides, snowmobiles and cross country excursions to the neighboring national parks. Chuck wagon cookouts and raucous cowboy bars add to the unique ambiance of Jackson Hole. But there are ... fine restaurants and superb accommodations to insure a variety-packed vacation.

As the fame of Jackson Hole with its beautiful scenery and fascinating wildlife grew, more and more visitors found their way into the valley. The mild summers added river rafting and hiking and horseback riding to the allure of hunting and fishing in the valley. In 1937, valley residents built a ski tow at Teton Pass and winter sports were added to the valley's charm for visitors. In 1939, Snow King Resort, on the mountain above the town of Jackson , was the first ski facility in the state of Wyoming .
