Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's 10 Best Trails

Located high in the Grand Tetons of Wyoming, Jackson Hole skiing, started as a business for 4 teenage boys, known as the "Hoback Boys". They delivered much needed supplies to residents throughout Hoback Canyon.

Through the years, skiing grew in the area. In 1966/67, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort opened officially.

From three chair lifts and one aerial tram, it has grown to one of the best ski resorts in the country. Jackson Hole Mountain Resorts is famous for it's steep terrain. The label of "The Big One" is known world-wide when you discuss great skiing. The trails throughout the mountain are magnificent. Skiers and snowboarders will find many opportunities for adventures and thrills.

The resort sits right between two mountains in the heart of the Tetons. Mt. Rendezvous and Mt. Apres Vous, both offer exciting trails for all experience levels. With 116 trails that have actually been named, and the highest vertical drop over 4,000 ft. there is absolutely, no shortage of opportunities to experience the greatest thrills, Jackson Hole has to offer.

The absolute "Best" Trail at Jackson Hole.

***1.Back Country Guided Trail Skiing-If you are an well experienced skier, the guided, back country trails are absolutely the best. The first resort in the US to allow skiers to go off the normal groomed trails, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort guides are experienced and ready to get you out in the "real" wild country. There are over 3,000 acres of steep, challenging, unchartered, trails that only the mountain goats get to see.

Along with the back country trails, experienced skiers and snowboarders will find that the following trails offer the best of both mountains.

1.Dog Face Trail-At the top of the list of extreme trails at Jackson Hole, the infamous Rendezvous Mtn would be my choice. With the vertical drop of over 4,000, I spoke of before, jumping into the bowl and taking off is amazing. Dog Face connects into various other trails for a steep, thrilling, downhill ride.
