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!

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.
