Jackson Hole rides in the shadow of the Tetons, with trails that climb from the valley floor into high alpine terrain. Teton Pass drops legendary descents like Lithium and Jimmy's Mom, while Cache Creek and Game Creek flow right from town and Snow King offers lift-served laps. The high country holds snow well into summer, so timing the melt-out matters as much as dodging the afternoon thunderstorms.
