Questions on Jackson Hole

[PNW-skier78]

I have a week off work coming up and debating about going to Jackson, BC, or somewhere else. I've never been to Jackson but heard mixed reviews. A lot of people loved the terrain but said it was super expensive and over crowded if there was good snow.

How does the collective feel about JH? Is it worth it or would a trip to Big Sky or interior BC be better?

[::: :::]

not worth it...no one skis there

go to the YC

[babybear]

umm overcrowded compared to what?

$75 hotel rooms is expensive?

ya you'd probably have more fun elsewhere
and probably couldn't find any Jackson info by searching either

[ghosthop]

Keystone sounds perfect for you. Please review the current Keystone Trees thread for further information.

Definitely overcrowded, expensive, and the terrain isn't even that good. Big Sky is even worse.

I'd head to BC, for sure - have you SEEN how weak the Canadian peso is right now??

I send people to JH sometimes and they always come back and tell me it was effing cold as hell. Yup, it's effing 6* right now. Brrrrrrr. Fuck that.

And icy most of the time.

And the locals are mean

[skaredshtles]

And the locals suck.

I thought the locals blew?

Underrated comment.

That freeze-thaw cycle can be a real bitch mid-season before the spring storm cycles.

I think Breck is what your looking for. I hear the experience is epic!

Well, if you find a keeper

Yup. Leads to this:

Imagine, you're just sitting there, eating your lunch, and blammo. Fuck that.

Or this:


Fuck that too.

I got frostbite in Jackson. Definitely not worth it. BC is pretty overrated as well.

[adrenalated]

yep fuck JH. have you checked out deer valley?

[EWG]

yep fuck JH. have you checked out deer valley?

Agreed. Far more celebrities at Deer Valley too, and isn't the scene a big part of why we all ski?

What, no love for Killington? Paging Greg from AlpineZone

I did a couple weeks ago.

It was awesome.

Jackson is icy, steep and they don’t groom much. Plus their lifts are slow and boring. I’d go to Deer Valley where the grooming is top notch, the food is primo, and the fast lifts get you to the goods..the Greatest Snow On Earth tm.

what the fuck man, don't give away the best kept secret in Utah...

[Djongo Unchained]

JH is flat and rocky at the moment.

[ichibaneye]

Targhee has the better snow!

[thefortrees]

Overrated IMO. Not enough grooming, way too crowded when it snows. You'll wait at least an hour in the morning for the tram! Give Whistler a shot - guessing you are from the PNW, so it is an easy drive from there.

No point going there, you will die.
