Why you should go…
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort climbs from Teton Village to the 10,450-foot top of Rendezvous Mountain, a continuous vertical drop of 4,139 feet. The red aerial tram carries 100 passengers to the summit in about nine minutes, where Corbet's Cabin serves waffles. Winter brings skiing and snowboarding on 2,500 inbounds acres, half of it expert terrain, including Corbet's Couloir. In summer you can ride the tram, mountain bike, hike or climb the via ferrata routes.
