On the slopes
There's something for everyone when you ski Jackson Hole in Wyoming. Though this area is renowned for its deep powder and steep terrain, the pistes are well-groomed so beginners will be well catered for. Favourites for the expert crowd include Corbet's Couloir, but with one of North America's biggest vertical drops, almost endless backcountry skiing, and great snow all season, there is plenty to keep you happy. Beginners will find the Snow King and Apres Vous areas a good place to start, while intermediates will enjoy miles of groomed piste.
Off the slopes
The town of Jackson, just 20 minutes from the slopes, has a lively old Wild West feel, with raised wooden boardwalks, cowboys a plenty, and lots of great nightlife. As with all US ski resorts, there is no problem finding good, inexpensive food. There's no shortage of good eating when you ski Jackson Hole. Popular choices include the Vertical Restaurant, found at the Inn at Jackson Hole, which has stylish contemporary American cuisine and a great wine list.
RESORT GOOD POINTS
- Some real expert-only terrain and one of the US's biggest verticals

- Excellent snow record
|
RESORT BAD POINTS
- The town is also 15 minutes from the slopes - though the lift-base Teton Village is an increasingly attractive alternative
- Intermediates wanting groomed runs will find the area very limited, especially in fresh snow
- Low altitude and sunny orientation mean snow can deteriorate quickly
