Three Lifts In Action For Visitors With Additional Snowfall Expected
(TETON VILLAGE, WYO. – NOV. 26, 2024) – Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) is pleased to announce the kickoff of the 2024-25 winter season with three lifts on Opening Day, Friday, November 29. The resort’s continuous snowmaking efforts, coupled with 52 inches of snowfall on the summit and 27 inches mid-mountain, have combined to give visitors coverage across much of the north side of the resort beginning the day after Thanksgiving.
JMHR will open a variety of terrain connected by three lifts on Opening Day: Teewinot, Après Vous, and the Sweetwater Gondola up to the Mid-Station. Using these three lifts, visitors will have the opportunity to access a collection of beginner and intermediate terrain. Additional snowfall is expected before Opening Day and throughout the weekend. Early season conditions still exist, and all guests are advised to stay out of closed areas and look for hazards.
The Aerial Tram will also be open for sightseeing from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. from November 29 – December 1, December 6-8, and December 13-15, with tickets available online. Corbet’s Cabin—the highest-altitude restaurant in Wyoming and, according to USA Today, the second-best ski restaurant in North America—will serve its signature Top of the World Waffles during those times for guests.
JHMR hopes to announce additional terrain and lift openings for the weekend of December 6-7 or sooner if conditions allow. The 2024-25 winter season will last 134 days until April 13.
“The first snowfall has arrived, and our snowmakers are working hard to supplement Mother Nature. We look forward to welcoming guests back to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort for the new winter season. In the coming weeks, our guests will have the chance to experience the opening of a new high-speed lift, two fantastic new restaurants, and a full slate of Destination December events to celebrate the holidays.”
– JHMR President Mary Kate Buckley
JHMR is once again limiting the sale of daily tickets and managing capacity in 2024-25, greatly improving guests’ experiences on the mountain and throughout the resort. JHMR emphasizes that ticket sales are limited daily and available for advanced purchase and that tickets may sell out. Due to demand, JHMR encourages all skiers and riders to make reservations as required for its multi-resort pass products or purchase day tickets in advance.
Ikon Pass and Mountain Collective pass holders must make reservations for lift access. JHMR recommends making reservations well in advance. Guests who purchased a JHMR Winter 2024-25 Season Pass can ski or ride on any day indicated by their pass type.
This winter, guests will see a continued focus on safe skiing and riding across the mountain. The resort’s Speed Wranglers and Ski Patrol staff will help increase enforcement in slow zones and raise awareness of proper skiing and riding practices. JHMR is also adding designated rest areas where guests can stop safely, and lower-mountain slow zones are being transformed into Family Zones, with enhanced speed control measures and enforcement to accommodate the mix of abilities and age levels in these high-traffic areas.
