Winter Ski Resorts – Stay & Play at Teton Springs Lodge

One of the country’s most famous winter ski resorts is located in western Wyoming, just outside the authentically western town of Jackson Hole in Teton Village. Although officially on the map as Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, it’s more often than not simply referred to as “The Big One,” simply for its massive imprint in the Teton Mountains and this mountain enjoys name recognition throughout the globe. Jackson is a winter resort on steroids; that’s the most precise way to describe this northern Rockies most legendary ski and summer resort. But then again, it seems everything is just more dramatic in this Yellowstone-Teton area. Winter ski and snowboard diehards, especially enthusiastic males between the ages of 18 and 45, flock to Jackson’s slopes at the first hint of winter. The reputation of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort as an area offering a variety of challenging expert slopes has long been established by thrill seekers not particularly interested in groomed intermediate slopes.

Jackson is one of the only winter ski resorts that can truly boast one of the top vertical drops in the United States.

More bang for your buck on this mountain. There’s 4,139 feet of both untamed and more user-friendly intermediate runs and every morsel of terrain is more than worthy of all levels of skiers and snowboarders. Resort in-bounds skiing delivers over 2,500 acres of steep and deep so there’s plenty of room to spread out at this resort. Winter ski stories, some hair raising, also abound from Jackson’s vast backcountry world. They open the boundary gates at this ski resort when the snow pack is deemed stable. The status of whether to hang the “open” or “closed” sign by the entrance to the backcountry gates is weighed heavily early each morning by the Ski Patrol.

Ski and snow conditions can change as quickly as the weather itself in the mighty Teton Mountains

Big storms can roll in so quickly and visitors to the backcountry terrain are assumed to have the skills to weigh the pros and cons of going into territory not controlled by the ski resort staff. This is the real west after all, a place where individuals are trusted to make the right decisions for themselves. Common sense dictates skier and snowboarder behavior and whether it’s prudent on any given day to drop into the great abyss of an uncontrolled and wild off piste world at this most grand ski mecca. Despite the rugged reputation of Jackson Hole, there’s another entirely different side to the story.
