Reviews for Jackson Hole
Total (3.9)
A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
I love the different terrain all across the mountain, but I wish there were more expert and intermediate trails.

Be aware when going to Jackson Hole as with most resorts they have paid parking and free parking. What Jackson does with their paid parking is it adjusts the rates of paid parking depending on availability but the shuttles run throughout the day to get you from parking to resort. The free parking lot is seven miles from the resort. The shuttles however do not run all day. The shuttles taking you to resort only run from 800 to 950 and then stop till 300 and run till 530. So the warning is if only want to ski a few hours during the day or if when you get there you don’t like the conditions and want to come off the mountain DO NOT PARK at free lot.

great

I guess they cut down too trees too much. The end results is complete flat, boring runs that gets swept clean of any soft snow to help you stop by snowboards, making it very dangerous (as you cannot stop!), boring and completely lack of any joy. Without trees, there is no shadow from the sun which melts the snow making what was once powder icy the very next day. Without trees, the wind blows loose snow away leaving completely icy, hard and bumpy surface that is by no means fun to ski or provides a good learning environment for kids to learn how to ski and to love the sports.
I ended up spending day after day hunting for soft powder in every nook and cranny in Jackson Hole. Only found some in Pepi's run and Saratoga bowl. A lot of time wasted traveling on those icy, steep, "groomed" blue/black runs. I don't see a lot of people skiing on these groomers after lunch either, obvious I am not the only one that don't enjoy those barren landscape that is only good for snowboarders to keep sweeping the last bit of loose powder away.
I am from Japan and picked up skiing around 19 in places like Shiga-Kogen. After moving to USA in 2006, I skied every winter and visited resorts all over North America. I taught my 3 kids how to ski up to advanced level. They all enjoy tree runs with powder vs. groomed icy runs. I have so much fond memories of skiing. I wish ski resorts did not cut down so much trees!

Great mountain

My visit to Jackson Hole was absolutely spectacular! Skied for 3 days late in the season, just before closing weekend, and it was incredible. The mountain was not crowded at all and the lift lines were nonexistent. The lift tickets are a bit pricey but with the Golden ticket event they put on, it was much more approachable. Overall wonderful place to be!

Finally made it to Jackson - it’s been a bucket list box since I was 12. Now 59 and I made the drive from Ontario Canada to put a check mark ✅ beside Jackson. It dumped each day I was there which made it a great trip. So many great sections to explore. Maybe a guide next time but I still made it off the beaten path to enjoy lightly to untracked areas. Corbet’s checked as well.

Great ski mountain and good annual snowfall. However, snow gets chewed up and bumped out fast. Can also get super hard due to traffic and east exposure. Best for advanced skiers
