Our monthly vertical feet app challenge continues. In December, skiers and riders battled it out to win a free early tram. In January, participants faced off to win a GoPro (see results below). A new February challenge kicks off this month, with a prize sure to excite. Read on to see what's at stake.  

January Results

To enter the app challenge, participants simply had to download the JH Insider app and track themselves in the app each time they skied. The competition was tough, but Daniel F. came out ahead by skiing 927,827 vertical feet last month. Daniel rode 525 lifts in January and his dedication to the competition helped motivate Ester to ride 100K vertical feet in a day earlier in the month. Daniel has been awarded a GoPro. 

Shoutout to Robert B. who won the December App Challenge and took 2nd in the January App Challenge.  

Since not everyone can ski as often as those who topped January's leaderboard, we also selected a random participant to win a GoPro. Cassie C. is our randomly selected winner.

Winners, please check your email for instructions to redeem your prize.

100K Vertical Feet in a Day

Can you imagine skiing/riding 100,000 vertical feet in a day? Ester Francus, a snowboard instructor here at JHMR, had the day off and set out with the goal of topping the leaderboard. In the process, she took 52 lifts and ended the day with an astounding 100,641 vertical feet — nearly twice as many as the next closest person of the day and more than anyone else in a single day this season.

Road Trip to Jackson Hole

This winter season, nothing has been more unpredictable than flights. If you're trying to avoid air travel these days, I don't blame you, maybe it's time to slow life down and enjoy the journey. Luckily, a road trip to Jackson Hole could not be easier or more scenic.

Skiing powder

50" in 50 Hours

A deluge of light-density, cold smoke powder snow inundated Jackson Hole and the Tetons beginning on Thursday, January 26 and didn't stop for roughly three days. During that span, we received 52" overall, bringing our season total up to 350".
