The Ins and Outs of Skiing Jackson Wyoming

Where to Stay

When you are visiting Jackson and your focus is skiing, you want a hotel that also has its eyes on skiing. Luckily for you, there are many hotels in Jackson that know how important skiing is to their guests. Because there are so many choices, you will want to pick a place that meets all of your needs.

The White Buffalo Club is a fantastic choice; it offers shuttle service to and from the ski resort, a desirable location within a few blocks of town, and a spa for you to relax in after a hard day of skiing. 

Bring or Rent Skis

Skiers love their gear, which means wherever they go skiing, they typically want to use their own skis; however, airlines are raising costs and making it harder and harder to bring oversized items like skis and snowboards. Avoid the frustration and plan on renting gear in Jackson. In addition to rentals on the mountain, there are several ski shops in town that you can rent skis and snowboards from at reasonable rates, even discounted rates when you plan ahead.

How’s the Terrain?

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is known for its steep terrain and powder conditions. Most of the images potential visitors see are of the expert chutes and Aeriel Tram. What isn’t as well known is that over half of the mountain has beginner and intermediate trails.

Although stating “half” of the terrain may not seem that impressive at first, you need to know that “half” of this mountain is 1,250 acres, which is larger than many resorts’ total acreage. Jackson Hole is a mountain that has something for all levels and that everyone can enjoy.
 

Families Welcome

Planning a vacation where all needs are met for each family member can be difficult. When you come to Jackson, you can relax, because everyone from babies to seniors will have an enjoyable time. While the adults are out hitting the slopes, children ages six months to 18 years have a safe place to be.

Daycare is available for children six months to three years, and lessons for all skills and ages are available. Additionally, if the adults are looking to get an evening out alone, the Kids Ranch has planned events for children, including movies and sledding. 

More Jackson Adventure

As the U.S News reports, there is much more to do in Jackson than to ski at Jackson Hole Resort. The National Elk Refuge, Jackson Hole Playhouse, and Granite Hot Springs top that list.
