Jackson Hole Ski Area

If you haven’t skied Jackson Hole, can you really say you’ve skied the west? Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, or “The Village” as locals fondly call it, is one of the definitive homes of big mountain skiing. Its iconic aerial tram serves 4,100 vertical feet of continuous skiing, from the summit of Rendezvous Mountain, all the way back down to the valley floor. Classic runs like Corbet’s Couloir dot the high alpine slopes near the summit, but give way to world-class groomers and great tree skiing on the lower mountain. And Niehues didn’t just capture Jackson Hole’s inbounds terrain when he painted this map. It also gives a great overview of the Rock Springs area, accessed to the south of the resort, as well as Grand Teton National Park which bounds the resort’s northern flank.

If you’ve ever taken a ride up the “big one”, looked down Corbet’s Couloir, or grabbed a waffle from the tram station, this trail map will stir up fond memories of skiing at Jackson Hole. James Niehues originally painted this map in 1993 and then revised and updated it in 2015 to reflect the mountain’s expansion, so it carries the weight of the area’s skiing and expansion. Jackson is the last of the old west, and this Jackson Hole ski map is like a portal to the world of simple living and big mountains.
