Thunder Lift Construction Photo Tour
Construction of the new Thunder lift is well underway and we can't wait for you to take rides on it this winter. It's a massive feat to put in a new lift, and although the project is ongoing, this icon of our mountain will operate as usual for the upcoming winter 2022/23 season. The new Thunder is a high-speed quad-chair contour load and unload that will transport skiers and riders up the mountain at twice the speed as the old Thunder and continue to access 1,454 vertical feet of prime terrain. Installing this new lift means less time waiting in line and more time on-snow!
Below is a photo gallery of the progress thus far. We will continue to update this blog with more photos as the project continues along. Lift towers are next up and are will be installed in early October.

Thunder Gets an Upgrade
Thunder.
One lift has the power to conjure countless memories unique to every individual fortunate enough to ascend Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Perhaps it's a ride from winter's past, braving blinding snow descending down from precipitous clouds; a stunning bluebird day, aloft of glistening, untouched powder; a warm spring afternoon complete with slushy turns, hoots, hollers, and abundant smiles. Whatever you think of when you think about Thunder, savor it. This lift has the power to propel people into their wildest dreams.
Winter 2022-23 Outlook
Presented by OpenSnow: August 31 was the last day of meteorological summer, and with a quiet weather pattern in place, it's time we take a "sneak peek" at the winter ahead. Confidence is growing that we will see a 3rd consecutive La Niña winter, and recent trends indicate we could be heading into our strongest La Niña since the winter of 2010-2011. What does this mean for Jackson Hole? Read on to find out...
