Ski the Big One at Jackson Hole and experience the most challenging vertical drop in the United States, 4,139 feet! There are 2,500 acres of skiable terrain with ten different lifts, including the famous Aerial Tram which services the entire 4,139 ft. vertical drop of Rendezvous Mountain and the new Bridger Gondola from Teton Village to the Headwall, provide access to hundreds of miles of un-crowded runs.
Looking up at the dramatic Teton Range from the airport, it's not immediately obvious what parts of that range make up the Resort. As your eyes start to focus, you can pick out the zigzag traverses across Rendezvous Mountain, and possibly see a miniature tram car on its way to Rendezvous Bowl. Known as "The Big One", Jackson Hole Mountain Resort lives up to the legend at first sight.

Additional InformationJackson Hole Mountain Resort is made up of two mountains:
Apres Vous Mountain: With over 2100 vertical feet of groomers and glades, "AV" is known as our intermediate mountain. Wide open groomers like Werner and Moran allow for fast laps on the high speed Apres Vous Quad. The slightly more adventurous might find themselves in gladed areas like Saratoga Bowl or Moran Woods. Halfpipe and park riders will find their preferred terrain secluded between Werner and Hanna. The base of Apres Vous Mountain flattens into our gentle beginner slopes, accessed off of Eagles Rest and Teewinot chairlifts.
Rendezvous Mountain: This is where you will find the terrain that Jackson Hole is famous for: chutes, bowls, couloirs and glades make up most of the terrain. There are advanced intermediate groomers and cruisers as well, runs like Rendezvous Trail, Grand and Amphitheater. The tram travels 4,139 vertical feet above the valley floor to 10,450 feet (3,185 meters) above sea level. From the top of the Jackson Hole Tram, you can enjoy some of the best consistent fall line skiing and riding in the world. The 8-Passenger Bridger GondolaT offers quick access to a great deal of the mountain from its summit, just below the headwall.
