United Ski 2008

Wyoming Resort Hotels ❄ Jackson Hole The Skiing With its twin peaks and superb variety of cross country trails, Jackson Hole offers some of the greatest challenges and varieties of any single winter resort in the USA. Challenge and variety? Rendezvous Mountain is devoted entirely to intermediate and expert skiers and Après Vous Mountain offers intermediate and beginner runs. Considering that at 4,139ft this is the longest continuous vertical drop in America, ski in this up to your waist in wonderfully fluffy powder, known locally as ‘cowboy powder’ and you may agree with us that this is probably the nearest to heaven that you’ve been! Although Jackson Hole is probably better suited to those with a few seasons behind them, Après Vous Mountain has many easier slopes for less experienced skiers. The skiing in Wyoming, and its chief resort of Jackson Hole, is a timely reminder that in some ways, the west was never quite won. Set among the awesome Teton Mountain range, the ‘Big One’ has the longest continuous vertical rise of any ski area within the US. from o ls nly per nig ht Hote £27 Families Childcare is on hand at the state-licensed Cody House; also there is a ‘moving carpet’ ski lift and kid’s ski slope.
