Jackson Hole is a legendary ski resort. Tucked away in north-west Wyoming, its reputation as one of the top ski holiday destinations 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 and the Wild West feel of the town and the proximity to Yellowstone National Park, make it enjoyable for mixed groups as well.

The ski 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!

New for 2009  - the re-introduction of Jackson Hole's iconic Tram which can whip 100 riders up over 4,000 ft of verticle to some of the most challenging terrain in North America in just 9.5 mins!
