Hey All
The west is full of dense, pedestrian-oriented ski towns; these seem to be overlooked in this forum. Anyway, I thought I'd get the ball rolling with some pics of them, starting with my hometown, Jackson, Wyoming.
To get started, here is a vicinity map. Point of clarification: "Jackson Hole" is the name of the valley that the Town of Jackson, other villages, and Grand Teton Nat'l Park lie in.
This is the Town of Jackson looking to the Southeast, with Cache Creek Canyon in the background. The town lies between the Gros Ventre (groh-VONT) Mountain Range, Snow King Mountain, and East Gros Ventre Butte.
This is in the Town of Jackson looking south on Cache Street with Snow King Mountain in the background.
Jackson Town Square
This is the trail map for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. This mountain is tall, steep, and SICK!
The beloved Jackson Hole Tram, which was retired in September 2006. May she rest in peace. A new, larger tram will be operational in 2008.
This is the Teton Range, as viewed from within Grand Teton National Park about 4 miles north of the Town of Jackson.
