The Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) is a ski resort in Teton Village, Wyoming. Located northwest of Jackson and due south of Grand Teton National Park in Teton County, it is named after the historically significant Jackson Hole valley. Jackson Hole is known in the U.S. for its steep terrain and its vertical drop is one of North America's highest, at . Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is one of the highest in vertical drop in the U.S. Snowmass has the highest vertical drop at just over 4,400 ft. ==Ski area information== The ski area partially covers Rendezvous and Apres Vous Mountains. Known for its challenging terrain, the runs are rated 50% expert, 40% intermediate, and 10% beginner.〔http://www.jacksonhole.com/mountain-stats.html〕 The intermediate terrain is primarily on Apres Vous Mountain, while Rendezvous Mountain has Jackson Hole's more advanced terrain that includes bowls, glades, and chutes, and over 4,100 vertical feet of skiing, the greatest continuous rise in the U.S. (nearby Big Sky in Montana has a larger total vertical, but its continuous vertical is significantly less; Snowmass Ski Area in Snowmass Village, Colorado has the highest lift served elevation in the nation). Jackson Hole has become the home to many of the world's best free skiers as the terrain is considered to be some of the most challenging in North America. In addition to the skiable terrain inbounds, there is an even larger area to be explored off-piste (out of bounds). These areas are accessed through marked gates by expert skiers/boarders who are equipped with avalanche safety gear. The terrain has not only attracted the top skiers in the world, but is also home to one of the most well known expert ski runs in the world, Corbet's Couloir. Jackson Hole's original aerial tram, which had been part of the resort since 1966, was closed to the public in the fall of 2006 and replaced with a new tram that opened in 2008. The tram rises 4,139 vertical feet (1262 m) to an elevation of 10,450 feet (3185 m). Construction on the new, 100-passenger Doppelmayr CTEC tram began in June 2007 and it opened December 20, 2008. During the two seasons without a tram, a temporary double chairlift named East Ridge was built to service the runs at the top of Rendezvous Mountain. Other lifts include the eight passenger Bridger gondola, four high speed detachable quad chairlifts, and seven fixed grip chairlifts. Recent additions include the Marmot Double Chair (former East Ridge installed in 2006) in 2011 built by Doppelmayr CTEC, the Casper Detachable Quad in 2012 built by Leitner-Poma, and the Teton Detachable Quad in 2015 built by Doppelmayr (North America). In the summer, the resort offers numerous activities such as mountain biking, hiking and paragliding. The resort and region is served by the Jackson Hole Airport. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jackson Hole Mountain Resort」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
