Jackson Hole Trail Guides
-
It’s not really practical for Experts and Intermediates to expect to ski together at Jackson. The terrain layout and the amount of vertical drop make this a difficult proposition. There are plenty of slope side eateries and/or Teton Village can be a convenient meeting place for lunch or snack

Rendezvous Bowl
This southeast facing pitch offers high speed turns and wide open terrain; In fresh snow, it can be legendary
Head up the tram, pass Corbet’s Cabin and drop in anywhere you see fit
Bumps (Advanced)

Bivouac
Steep yet wide, the off-piste terrain of Bivouac can grow some large moguls. If conditions aren’t great, dip off into the trees for softer, sheltered snow
From the tram, drop into Rendezvous Bowl and head for the resort’s boundary line
Steep & Deep (with hiking)

The Headwall / Casper Bowl
When open, a bootpack from the Cirque can deliver extreme steeps and deeps in the Headwall Zone. Keep going if you’d like to sample the goods in Casper Bowl (access only available through gates)
Traverse right off the Sublette Quad toward the Cirque; stay high and head for the bootpack to the skier’s left; plan to hike for about 15-minutes
Burner (Advanced)

The Hobacks
Try this 2,000-foot ungroomed pitch to feel serious quad quake. These wide-open slopes along the resort’s southern boundary offer a hearty challenge
From the tram, use Rendezvous Bowl to the cat track and drop in
Short & Steep


Tower 3 Chute
Though there is nothing particularly short at Jackson, this steep, narrow chute is playful and often has plenty of great snow
From atop the tram, use Dog Face to catch the Laramie Traverse
Chutes


Alta Chutes
These steep, north-facing chutes with a little Hollywood flair offer technically challenging terrain underneath the Sublette Quad
The chutes sit below the summit along the ridge, accessible from the Sublette Quad Chair

Corbet's Couloir
