Jackson Hole, Wyoming: Budget Ski Trip

Posted Sat, 2006-03-04 05:27 by virtualDavis
While skiing at Squaw Valley about a month ago, another ski resort/town was repeatedly mentioned and recommended by other skiing aficionados: Jackson Hole. And while I've wandered through the town a couple of times, I've never skiied there. Today's NYTimes.com article, "Budget Travel - Jackson, Wyo." leads me to believe that's a mistake. In fact, it even suggests that there's an affordable way to go skiing in Jackson Hole! Hard to believe? I thought so too.
"Apart from the 12-mile, $3-a-person bus ride from the town of Jackson to Teton Village, we hadn't spent a thing: Just flash your boarding pass or luggage tags on the day of your arrival, and a half-day lift ticket and ski or snowboard rental are yours, absolutely free."
Now that's what I like to hear. Check out these recommendations to help you meet your budget. Accommodation:
