Snow, Snow and More Snow
I spent a spectacular four days last week at Jackson Hole. We skied powder every day; the snowfall just wouldn't stop! This mountain is so impressive; independent, family-owned and they've got skiing there for all skill levels. With two gondolas, the world famous tram and many, many high speed chairs, this 2500+ acre mountain skis like 3500+ acres. We also did our fair share of shopping; Jackson has great stores and the handful of shops in the village have whatever we needed (and more). There is no shortage of great restaurants in the Village or in the town of Jackson. We had great meals at Piste, one of the on-mountain restaurants, the Snake River Lodge and Spa, the Osteria, the Silver Dollar in town and the Handle Bar at the Four Seasons. Be sure to visit the restaurant at the Alpenhof Hotel for Swedish pancakes! All in all, a lovely, casual and friendly experience with fantastic skiing.Excellent

I knew there would be some intermediate terrain but I was actually surprised at how much there was. With over 24 blue runs and 12 double blue runs there was more than plenty to keep me happy during our four-day trip to Jackson.
Jackson Hole for everyone
Good
4.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 4.0 4.0 5.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 3.0 5.0 5.0 5.0 4.0Jackson Hole has terrain for all family members with all sorts of skier abilities. Not only is there plenty of expert terrain an intermediate skier will also find plenty of fun skiing. It is very easy to navigate and get around the mountain. For a non-skier, there is a wonderful restaurant at the top of the gondola where one can meet the other skiers and enjoy lunch together.
Jackson Hole has fantastic lodging options right in the base area and plenty of affordable lodging in downtown area for those more on a budget. The bus between downtown and Teton Village (base area) runs from early morning until late night. I recommend Jackson Hole for the perfect ski vacation whether it be a family trip or the group looking for the ultimate challenge.
