Jackson Hole is an adventure area rich in history from when the

Old West is still alive at the mountain resort and in town where
you will find wooden boardwalks and cowboy hangouts. Or, if
something less rustic is your ideal you can also find first class luxury

With over 2,500 acres of legendary terrain, a 4,139 vertical rise
(unmatched in the US), and 459 inches of average snowfall each
winter (last year recorded 500 inches), Jackson Hole offers a truly
unique winter experience. Two distinct mountains in the heart of
the Tetons, Rendezvous and Apres Vous, make up Jackson Hole
Mountain Resort and have been home to incredible skiing and
riding for over 40 years.
Whether you are there to experience ‘The Big One’s’ - wide open
natural terrain and big rolling groomers, or just getting out on the
snow for the first time, Jackson Hole will be an experience you’ll
never forget. Still, you’ll want to save some energy to sample

Discover the hidden treasures of British Columbia’s interior. Where abundant sunshine and deep blue skies are only interrupted by the
nearly 25 feet of annual snow that is as light and dry as it gets! Located in Canada’s spectacular Okanagan Valley, in between Vancouver
and Calgary, the resorts of Big White, Silver Star and Sun Peaks offer some of the most incredible skiing and riding in North America. From
fun on the slopes to quaint villages with local shops and fantastic dining options, the only thing you’re likely to miss when you come to
explore these Canadian gems - are the crowds!
Big White boasts over 118 runs and five powder filled bowls rising up from Canada’s largest ski-in/ski-out village. Voted “Best Family Ski
Resort”, Sun Peaks features an impressive 2,891 foot vertical rise spread over 3,678 skiable acres and snow cat tours for those looking for
even more! Silver Star features an immaculately groomed front side and a back side with over 60 runs of serious steep and deep powder.
