Destination Information - Jackson, Wyoming, USA

The longest and steepest vertical slope in the United States attracts hordes of serious skiers and snowboarders to Jackson Hole each year. The resort includes the mountain and Teton Village, a lively community of shops, restaurants, hotels and condominiums. Pop into the village's infamous Mangy Moose Saloon for a drink and T-shirt.
