Top 11 Ski Resorts in North America: Jackson Hole Ranks Number Two

USA Today recently ranked the top 11 ski resorts in North America, and Jackson Hole comes in at number two on the list with a Pure Awesomeness Factor of 98.2, a very close second to Tellurides’ number one ranking.

The rankings here weigh things like town scene, variance of terrain, lodging base, and snow quality, using both hard data and inputs from ZRankings’ network of experts. Scores are then ranked by a metric called PAF (Pure Awesomeness Factor).

This winter has brought skiers the best weather in at least 15 years, as resorts from California to Vermont hit the holidays with 100% of their terrain open. The snow and cold have continued into January, with the Pacific Coast and inner ranges of the West corralling good amounts of cold precipitation.

Heres is what USA Today had to say about Jackson Hole:

A name that has always been synonymous with extreme skiing, Jackson has made major changes on its mountain to make it more beginner and intermediate friendly. From added terrain on the Teton lift, to the new Sweetwater Gondola and a new kid-friendly ski instruction center dubbed Solitude Station, the resort has been busy bolstering its case as a destination resort that can handle all skier types. It’s a good case, and the efforts are working, as Jackson has grown its skier day totals at a clip far greater than the industry as a whole. 

There still remains room to roam in this Northwest corner of Wyoming, however, which is used to even larger crowds in the summer that gather to travel through Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Jackson’s epicurean scene has continued to ascend, with steady standbys supplemented by edgy newcomers each season. 

Skiers who have been looking for the right time to get out should wait no longer. Spring break skiing is around the corner and trips should be booked. Travelers planning to join us in Jackson Hole can book with confidence as mountain snow bases are reaching levels that will ensure good conditions for spring. Jackson Hole is only halfway through February and has officially broken the record for most snowfall in the month!

Top 5 Romantic Things To Do in Jackson Hole

So, your sweetheart has surprised you with a romantic getaway to Jackson Hole this Valentine’s Day or after. The beauty of the mountain landscape will leave you breathless and so may the challenging ski trails! From here you and your partner can create your adventure vacation filled with a variety of outdoor activities, from downhill skiing to wildlife watching and everything in between. How can you be sure you take advantage of love in the Tetons? Below are our top 5 ways:

Intimate Dinner

Enjoy a one-of-a-kind gourmet dining experience in one of Jackson Hole’ fine dining restaurants. Whether it is the Snake River Grill in downtown Jackson or Westbank Grill in Teton Village, you will find a romantic table for two. Our guide to eating and drinking in Jackson Hole has the details.

Stroll Around Town

There is nothing quite so romantic as strolling through our downtown, under the elk arches, with a variety of shops to find that perfect gift. If you are strolling downtown at night, the town square lighting is magical.

Sleigh Ride

Get up close and personal with your loved one and Jackson Hole’s resident herd of elk in a cozy, horse-drawn sleigh ride through the National Elk Refuge. After the sleigh ride, visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art, representing more than 5,000 wildlife works of art, and have lunch at Palate overlooking the Elk Refuge.

Lunch atop the Bridger Gondola

Enjoy lunch at Piste Mountain Bistro during a break from skiing or if you want to take a ride up the gondola. A cheery fire burns in the entryway, which opens into a friendly bar scene with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer the best views of the mountain and valley. The outstanding food and ambience is further elevated by the excellent service.

Soak in Granite Hot Springs

It’s an otherworldly experience to share soaking in 104-degree spring water in a pool below 11,000-foot mountains. Get to the hot springs by snowmobile of dog sled. Both provide an experience.

Jackson Hole Powder Skiing: 3 Feet of Snow in 48 Hours

One of our best snow reports this season, Jackson Hole has received 3 feet of snow in 48 hours. Visitors and locals alike are hitting the slopes, and we hope you can join the fun.

According to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, “Today, those on the hill experienced leaving their mark on a completely fresh canvas for the 3rd day in a row. The mountain is in the best shape of the season and seems to quickly be going from ‘low tide’ to ‘high tide’ as discussed on chairlifts throughout the morning.”

When you think Jackson Hole, people think snow-capped peaks, cowboy powder and epic skiing. And they’re right. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is one of the best ski resorts in the nation. Jackson Hole’s famed “Big Red” tram transports 100 passengers to the resort’s 10,450-foot summit, and from the top of the tram, skiers and riders are able to access 4,139 vertical feet of continuous skiing and riding. If you’re treated to a lot of fresh powder, just as we have been, and you’re able to get first tram, you will have the chance to glide through the untracked, light, bone-dry cowboy powder that has made Jackson Hole famous for all these years.

If you want to experience the epic skiing Jackson Hole offers, contact the team a LPJH. We can assist in booking your stay and your adventure.
