OVERVIEW
Jackson Hole 2018/2019 Ski Season Dates: November 24, 2018 - April 7, 2019
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is a totally unique destination. Where else can you take a sleigh ride through 10,000 wintering elk, view herds of bison and be asked to ski defensively to avoid moose on the cat-tracks? Or take in the annual Cowboy Ski Challenge where skiers are pulled over 40 mph behind horses over jumps and other obstacles then kick back and drink Moose Drool in the famous Mangy Moose apres-ski hang out. Two National Parks consider JHMR neighbors, statistics show a skier an acre on the slopes, and powder can be had in the backcountry almost the entire season. There is harmony to be found ...Ski fanatics staying at the slopeside Hostel X hang with the small spa crowd and never a cross word is heard between rider and skier, but if you are looking for pure unadulturated skiing and riding on the wildest mountain in the lower 48, Jackson Hole cannot be touched...
