VISIT WYOMING: Jackson Hole Sweepstakes

The Wyoming Office of Tourism and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort are back this winter with another once-in-a-lifetime sweepstakes. They've teamed up to offer a trip to Jackson Hole, along with the chance to win a custom Travis Rice snowboard!

Jackson Hole is known in the U.S. and around the world for its steep terrain, iconic mountains, and 4,000+ feet of vertical skiing. Neighboring Grand Teton National Park, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort boasts 2,500 acres of in-bounds terrain, along with backcountry gate access to over 3000+ acres. Even though 50% of Jackson Hole's terrain falls into the expert category, there is still plenty of terrain for every ability level. 40% of the mountain falls into the intermediate category, while 10% (250 acres) is left available for beginner skiers and riders.  

 

Now let's not forget about the most important ingredient, powder, and lots of it! Over the past five seasons, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has averaged 459 inches/year. This puts Jackson Hole into the elite category as one of the top powder skiing resort destinations in the United States. You will be hard pressed to find any local in Jackson that doesn't have endless stories of thigh-deep powder days.

Finally, Jackson Hole will also be celebrating its 50th anniversary this winter! So what are you waiting for?
