At Jackson Hole ski resort, you'll be awed by the breathtakingly rugged Teton mountains, and equally wooed by the authentic and welcoming Wild West atmosphere that pervades both Teton Village and downtown Jackson Hole, which are 15 minutes apart. Everything about Jackson Hole, even down to the shopping dinning is reminiscent of a bygone day and makes for one unforgettable ski vacation.
Since its inception in the '60s, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has been the proving ground for extreme skiers looking to make a name for themselves. The terrain at Jackson is known across the globe for being some of the most challenging - and rewarding - there is. Tight chutes, like the iconic Corbet's Couloir, big airs, deep snow and steep lines are what make Jackson Hole famous. However, there are dozens of wide-open trails for beginners and picture-perfect cruisers and progressive bump runs for intermediates, and much more. Not only does Jackson Hole exude refreshing cowboy character, on and off the slopes, but it's "All New All Blue" terrain off of Casper chairlift is a game-changer for intermediates!

To streamline the pick-up process, guests can purchase online in advance and receive a 15% discount, and pick up equipment anytime after 3pm the day before. After researching the different locations and the proximity of the mountain and our hotel.

Use the online link to order and select this location, call location only if you have questions.

Ski Storage
The 49er Inn & Suites has no storage facility to store skis, you would have to store in your room each night. Since the shuttle ride from the hotel to the mountain is 30 minutes. You can store your skis overnight at their other location JH Sports, 7720 Granite Loop Rd, Teton Village, WY, which is at the bottom of the Bridger Gondola for $5 a day (skis and poles) or $20 for basket in heated room for those renting ski equipment.
Enjoy the flexibility to pick up or exchange rental equipment at any of our rental locations, this means on the last day just leave your equipment at JH sports at the bottom of the Bridger Gondola.
Note to those with their own equipment: You can storage your skis and poles at JH Sports at bottom of the Bridger Gondola for $15 a day. This will keep you from transporting your skis daily.
