Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is one of the first winter resorts in North America to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic with changes to their daily operations. With the health and safety of their guests, staff, and our community in mind "JHMR will be limiting the numbers on the Aerial Tram, Bridger Gondola and Sweetwater Gondola" as of today, according to their official blog and social channels.
This comes one day after the announcement of the cancellation of the Rendezvous Spring Festival and all music events at the resort. Please see below for more information on the resort's response and from Teton County:
"Per the directive from Town and County officials to reduce the possible spread of COVID-19 through large-scale public gatherings, JHMR will be canceling the Rendezvous Spring Festival for March 26-28, 2020. All spring music events are canceled for the remainder of the season.
The mountain is open through April 12, 2020 as planned with a heightened focus on safety and hygiene for our employees and guests. There is currently one confirmed case of COVID-19 in Sheridan County, Wyoming, and the entire Jackson Hole community is working together to take proactive measures to reduce the potential spread of the virus.
JHMR will continue to monitor the situation daily, and provide updates when necessary to this web page. For more information on COVID-19 in Teton County, click here."
