jackson hole skiing holidays 197x158Jackson Hole is a legendary ski resort. Tucked away in north-west Wyoming, its reputation as one of the top ski resorts in the world is totally justified. The combination of awesome terrain, breathtaking scenery and superb powder make it a skier's paradise.

Although the skiing here is best suited to competent skiers, there is a lot of genuinely challenging terrain, the Wild West feel of the town and the proximity to Yellowstone National Park, make it enjoyable for mixed groups as well.

The resort is split between the ski base area of Teton Village and the town of Jackson Hole 12 miles away, the two are linked by shuttle. Teton Village has some new accommodation and is getting more lively, but if you want nightlife, you are better off staying in the town of Jackson. Getting to Jackson from the UK requires at least one change of plane and can be two; a long journey but well worth it!

Lift Update - Whilst the new tram is being constructed (due for completion in 2008), access to the summit will still be possible by means of the new East Ridge Double Chairlift which takes you to Corbet's Cabin on top of the Rendezvous mountain (10,450 ft.).
