Jackson Hole Mountain Resort to open on Thanksgiving

TETON VILLAGE, Wyo. (KIFI) — Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) is ready to open lifts to skiers and riders on Thanksgiving Day.

Thursday’s opening officially kicks off the winter season, offering 137 days of skiing and riding through closing day on Apr. 10, 2022.

As JHMR’s chairs begin to spin in Teton Village this week, JHMR President Mary Kate Buckley welcomes guests back to Teton Village.

“Mother Nature has been off to a slow start on the lower mountain, but with increased snowmaking capacity and a dedicated staff working around the clock, we are thrilled to open our lifts this Thursday," Buckley said. “We are opening limited terrain and as conditions allow, we plan to run all lifts at full capacity while limiting daily capacity in an effort to make an even more memorable guest experience. It’s going to be a wonderful year to visit JHMR, and we look forward to seeing you on the mountain.”

On Thursday, Nov. 25, at 9 a.m., JHMR will open the Teewinot Chairlift, Sweetwater Gondola to the mid-station, Après Vous Lift and the Solitude covered surface lift. Early conditions exist; please watch for unmarked obstacles.

SIGHTSEEING: The JHMR Aerial Tram will run for sightseeing and waffles service at Corbet’s Cabin from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Friday, Nov. 26 through Sunday, Nov. 28. No ski equipment is allowed, and masks are required in the Aerial Tram and inside buildings.

Additional lifts and terrain are scheduled to open as snow and weather conditions permit.
