Teton Village Description
Teton Village is 12 miles northwest of Jackson Hole Wyoming at the foot of the Teton Mountain Range. Teton Village is the home of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, the largest and most popular ski area in Wyoming and the Western United States. Boasting more than 4,000-vertical feet of varied terrain at the Jackson Hole Ski Area, this resort attracts expert and beginner skiers and snowboarders alike from around the world. Situated at the base of Jackson Hole Ski mountain are luxury lodging rentals including, superior condominiums, Home rentals, log cabin rentals, fine restaurants, bars and gift shops.
With an average annual snowfall of 450 inches, the powder at Jackson Hole Ski Resort in Teton Village is usually deep with minimal lift lines-except for the busy holidays. First opened in 1965, this Wyoming ski resort has slowly become one of the most renowned ski areas in the nation.
With more than 2,500 acres of terrain spread over two adjacent mountains, the resort boasts runs that exceed four miles and offers 24 miles of groomed trails. The only way to the summit of 10,450-foot Rendezvous Mountain is aboard one of two 63-passenger Aerial Tram cars. With a majority of the runs off the top rated expert, more than a few skiers and snowboarders have rode the Tram back down. Our Jackson Hole Guide, Dave Miller, can provide guide information and tours into another 10,000 acres of unlimited powder skiing in the Jackson Hole backcountry.
