Ride Jackson Hole in Powder Season

Jackson Hole has some of the best free-riding in North America, but it’s not just the mountains, it has a unique location and weather, a vibrant town and an amazing mountain loving community. The in-bounds terrain is enough to keep anyone excited for a whole season, let alone a short week long tour.

Where Jackson shines is the incredible terrain options for intermediate and advanced riders. There’s 4,139 feet of quad-burning vert and the steeps might as well have their own classification on the trail map. The resort is renowned for having some of the best snow and scores 450+ inches of seemingly bottomless snow each winter.

Each morning we’ll head to the slopes where your host will show you the best spots on the day. After riding we’ll either enjoy some apres at one of the bars at the base of the village (the Mangy Moose is a local favourite) or head back into Jackson for a night on the town. Join us here and we’ll show you why it’s one of our favourite places to ride in North America.

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is an IKON Pass destination, so depending on your pass type, you can use it to access all the ski lifts during the tour. Mint Tours is an IKON and Jackson Hole reseller so get in touch about pass options.

A TYPICAL DAY IN JACKSON HOLE

Each morning we’ll head to the slopes where your host will show you all the spots to find the best conditions on the day. Check out one of the terrain parks, or take your pick of one of the many chutes or bowls and lay down some powder turns. After riding we’ll either enjoy some apres at one of the bars at the base of the village (the Mangy Moose is a local favourite) or head back into Jackson for a night on the town.

ACCOMMODATION

We stay at the Elk Country Inn in downtown Jackson Hole. Our twin share rooms are equipped with two beds and everything you need for a comfortable stay. Breakfasts are included along with free WIFI and an indoor pool and hot tub. The hotel mountain shuttle departs each morning from the hotel to Teton Village and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

CORBET'S COULOIR

Corbet’s is perhaps the most difficult in-bounds ski run in North America. It is the perfect measuring stick for those who want to tackle Jackson Hole’s expert terrain. As one of the most visible and intimidating lines on the mountain, the Aerial Tram passes by every 10 minutes, packed with spectators gathered to watch riders drop in.

Our small groups allow greater manoeuvrability and ease of access to the best areas a destination can offer. When we are on mountain, our guest to guide ratio is maximum 5 people per guide. This also makes for a more personal experience between our guests and guides.
