Jackson Hole Concludes the 2010 Winter Season with Strong Results

Teton Village, WY - Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) concluded the 2009/2010 winter season posting the 4th highest visitation level in its 45 year history with over 413,684 skiers gracing the slopes this winter. This year’s results mark the 5th consecutive year of skier visits above the 400,000 benchmark. The success is particularly notable in light of the lack of natural snow from opening to late January coupled with a unusually dry March. Economic conditions were equally challenging as the country continued to be marred in one of the deepest recessions in its history.
Snow arrived late in the Tetons with unusually low snowfall totals for the first 55 days of the JHMR operating season. Though overall snow totals for the season approached the 400 inch mark, 50 inches came during closing week. Long time Teton residents now compare this winter to the record low of 1976/1977 when visitation levels dropped to 36,300, a 75% drop from the previous year. By means of comparison the 413,684 visits of 2010 represent a 5.6% drop from last year.
“It is hard to recover completely when we miss the first half of the season which includes the all-important December holidays and the month of January. During the first 55 days out of a 128 day season, we had the arguably lowest recorded snow fall of the past the 30 years,” Jerry Blann, president commented. “We are never pleased when we experience a drop in visitation. However, once the snow began falling on January 23rd the business levels showed a substantial surge. We finished the season with strong results, which can only be attributed to the hard work of the entire resort staff.”

LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL BECOME WIDESPREAD THIS EVENING AND BECOME HEAVY AT TIMES BY MORNING. TOTAL SNOWFALL OF 1 TO 2 FEET IS EXPECTED IN THE HIGH COUNTRY.

US Ski Mountaineering National Championship at Jackson Hole

Teton Village, WY - The US Ski Mountaineering Championship presented by Marmot, is an endurance race without equal. Now in its 10th year the “Randonee Rally,” as it is often referred to, takes participants on a human-powered wild ride through some of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s most exciting terrain.

Starting in the Teton Village base area with skins on, the race draws competitors high into the Tetons before sending them down some of the most precipitous Jackson Hole classics. The race culminates with an airy climb up Corbet’s Couloir via a vertical ladder to the cheers of onlookers. In celebration of its 10th year race organizers Forest Dramis and Cary Smith worked closely with JHMR Ski Patrol to create an entirely new 7800’ race course, and a 3800’recreational course, for the uninitiated.

Cary Smith, race organizer and the 2006 National Champion comments: “With almost 8,000 feet of climbing and descending the new race course sets a new standard for Ski Mountaineering races in North America. It takes a mountain like Jackson Hole, and the unparalleled community of athletes that live here to create an event like this. It is going to be a ski mountaineering ‘tour de force,’ and the ultimate way to test your big mountain endurance. The prizes this year are unbelievable, thanks in large part to Marmot. We hope you’ll join us!”

January Ends on a Huge Note

Teton Village, WY - Winter unleashed its full force on the Tetons, plastering Jackson Hole with 62” of snow since Tuesday January 19th. Mountain conditions are at all time highs, from over the head powder on the Hobacks to fresh groomed corduroy on Sundance and Gros Ventre. The hollering of skiers leaving trenches behind them down Rendezvous Bowl was audible across the hill.
100% Open
On the heels of Casper Bowl and the Crags yesterday, Saratoga Bowl opened today. Kodak-worthy powder blanketed this legendary terrain making landings softer than the proverbial feather bed—easily topping the list of best all time runs for any skier.

Best of all—another storm is scheduled to touch down this weekend—and with the current base coverage conditions are likely to be top tier once again. As of yesterday, Jackson Hole had received 239 inches of snow--more than any other major resort in the Rockies, except for neighboring Grand Targhee, which has received 249 inches.
