The airport itself is located at the base of the Teton Range, just a 20-mile drive from Teton Village and less than 10-miles from the town of Jackson.

Upon landing, travelers are immediately greeted by the colossal, jagged peaks of the Tetons. The short, scenic drive gets you to the tram dock quickly, maximizing your time on the snow. It is simple, fast, and stunning. In short, convenience has never looked this good.
An Icon Deserves the Crown
This double victory confirms what we’ve always known: Jackson Hole is the epicenter of mountain action. The terrain is extreme. The powder is deep. The entire experience—from the moment you land at JAC to the last Tram lap of the day—is seamless adventure.
Jackson Hole has earned its spot as the reigning champion of North American skiing. Go experience the best for yourself this winter.
