JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming — Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is pleased to announce the kickoff of the 2023-24 winter season with two lifts on Opening Day, Friday.

Coming on the heels of last year’s record snowfall in Rendezvous Bowl, the resort’s continuous snowmaking efforts coupled with 62 inches of snowfall on the summit and 33 inches mid-mountain have combined with snow making efforts to give visitors coverage across much of the north side of the resort beginning the day after Thanksgiving.

Opening Day will kick off the longest season ever at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, with lifts spinning until April 14, a total of 143 days.

JMHR will open a variety of terrain connected by two lifts on Opening Day: Teewinot and Après Vous. Using these two lifts, visitors will have the opportunity to access a collection of beginner and intermediate terrain. Early season conditions still exist and all guests are advised to stay out of closed areas and look for hazards.

JHMR hopes to announce additional terrain openings for the weekend of Dec. 2-3.

“We’re ready to welcome our guests to our 2023-24 season at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort on Opening Day!” said JHMR President Mary Kate Buckley. “Our continued investments in snowmaking, coupled with our grooming crews working around the clock, will support our opening on schedule this Friday, Nov. 24 at 9 a.m. Lift service will be limited, and we urge caution, as early season conditions exist. The weather forecast provides for cold temperatures, ideal for continued snowmaking and grooming and improved conditions.”

JHMR is once again limiting the sale of daily tickets and managing capacity for a fourth consecutive year in 2023-24, greatly improving guests’ experiences on the mountain and throughout the resort.

JHMR emphasizes that ticket sales are limited on a daily basis and are available for advanced purchase, and that tickets may sell out. Due to demand, JHMR encourages all skiers and riders to make reservations as required for its multi-resort pass products or purchase day tickets in advance.
