Ahhhh.. early season skiing. Soft snow, low-angle sun, small crowds; the anticipation of the long season ahead. In the lift maze, you look to your right--and then to your left--and you know you are among your kind. You all share the passion: waiting through the fall for the snow to fly and the lifts to spin. Gathering at pre-season ski swaps and seeing your best ski partners at the local ski fitness class. For every skier and rider, it is a seasonal rite of passage. It just doesn’t get any better. Or does it…

Well, probably. As you consider a quick tune-up trip to Jackson Hole, consider this: Jackson Hole has received multiple feet of snow during opening week. The Tram opens Saturday, Dec. 3, the earliest it has carried excited skiers and riders to the summit in a decade. Does it get better than this?!

Yup, it does! To make the early season trip to Jackson Hole even more tempting, skiers and riders who own a season pass at any other ski area in the world, receive a 50% discount on lift tickets between November 25 - December 16, 2022, (and then again between March 14 - April 9, 2023). If the thought of tackling Jackson so early in the season leaves you a bit, well, wobbly legged, no worries. Your season pass (from any other ski area in the world) will also garner a 50% discount on any of the Mountain Sports School’s group lessons during the same timeframe. Early season is an excellent time for a quick technical tune-up. For the novice skier, this is the time to get your feet back under you. For the advanced skier, dial in some precision moves that will carry you through the season at your home area.

No matter where you call home, a December trip to Jackson Hole will scratch that early season itch. Come join the passholders that call Jackson Hole home and celebrate the start of another season with us! It actually doesn’t get any better than that.
