| Trip leader’s Alan and Nancy Jackson
love Jackson Hole and are looking forward to showing you all
of their favorite runs! Join Alan and Nancy at Tampa International
Airport on March 21st for another great trip to Jackson Hole.
We have the popular Parkway Inn and air spots
reserved for 40 lucky skiers. With such a small group to such
a great mountain, the space will go fast.
THE SKI AREA: The reason you really want
to go on this trip is THE MOUNTAIN! JACKSON HOLE
is comprised of 2 mountains-Rendezvous and Apres Vous covering
a total of 2500 acres. The area has such a reputation for
the “Steep and Deep” that many intermediate skiers miss out
on the large amount of new, less challenging terrain available.
The trails are now 50% intermediate and beginner. This is
about the same as many other ski resorts visited by our skiers!
The base elevation is 6311 ft , the summit is 10,450ft making
the 4139 ft of vertical rise the longest continuous in the
country! The lift system is among the best with 6 quads, 4
smaller lifts, an “8-pack” gondola and the King of them all,
a new 100 passenger cable car! No waiting
at Jackson Hole! For the extreme skiers there are, in addition
to the 50% marked expert runs, 3000+ acres of gated backcountry
area! No matter what your choice of runs, you will find them
at Jackson. For you ‘boarders, there is a full sized terrain
park and a super pipe on Apres Vous. Low priced group
lift tickets and rental equipment will be available.
At the mountain base, you will find a variety of shops and
dining options in Teton Village.
An optional day trip to Grand Targhee will
also be offered. This “boutique” area has a reputation for
having the finest powder skiing in the nation! Always Number
1 in snow quality, Grand Targhee is truly a skiers dream.
THE TOWN OF JACKSON: Jackson was founded
by beaver trappers in the 1800’s, and that pioneer flavor
remains as one of its most charming aspects. The focal point
of the town is the Town Square featuring trademark antler
arches which were built in 1968 using elk antlers shed on
the National Elk Refuge. Wildlife is as abundant now as it
was in those early days. Thanks to the breathtaking views
and the variety of recreational activities in the area, Jackson
Hole is now one of the leading destinations in the Rocky Mountains.
Skiing, hiking, wildlife watching, mountain climbing, horseback
riding, photography, backpacking, snowmobiling, bicycling
and camping are just some of the activities that await the
outdoor enthusiast. Once you are ready to wind down for the
day, Jackson’s 100 bars and restaurants have something for
everyone from Chuckwagon cookouts to 5 star dining. Jackson
features an impressive array of specialty shops, art galleries,
museums and fine restaurants. The surrounding area features
the Bridger Teton National Forest, Hoback Canyon, the National
Elk Refuge, Snake River and Snake River Canyon, and the Wind
River Mountains. We plan on offering the group a tour of the
Elk Refuge and the National Wildlife Art Gallery as an optional
event. Stroll along the wooden sidewalks of the historic
town square and visit the unique shops, nightspots, and restaurants.
Looking for artwork? Galleries galore! From classic to contemporary,
there are over 25 art galleries featuring all of the big names
in Western art.
LODGING: The Parkway Inn
stands on a quiet street just 3 blocks from Jackson Hole's
Historic Town Square, tucked among aspen and pine trees. This
is the Preferred Hotel for many Ski Clubs. The Inn Offers
guests a friendly mix of modern comfort, old world charm and
warm hospitality. A FREE Expanded continental breakfast is
meeting point for skiers making plans for the day on the slopes
or for dinner in one of Jackson’s fine restaurants (there
are 10 within 4 blocks!). Refrigerators, Humidifier’s and
Plush Robes in every room. What better way to finish up a
long day of skiing, hiking, or just sightseeing than a visit
to the Parkway Inn's Pool & Spa. Here you can take some
laps, have a relaxing soak, or soothe those tired muscles
in one of the saunas. There is free transportation
from the Inn to the mountain via frequent buses and vans.
