With a vertical drop of more than 4,000 feet (1,220m), Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is better known for its challenging terrain best suited to expert skiers and snowboarders. The steep, demanding topography on Rendezvous Mountain is deservedly famous for its chutes, couloirs, bowls and glades, and can only be reached by two 63-passenger Aerial Tram cars. Thousands of acres of backcountry skiing are also available. Après Vous Mountain is the intermediate mountain with 2,100 vertical feet (640m) of groomed runs and open bowls offering exciting skiing on more friendly slopes, and also has gentle beginner slopes at its base. The Mountain Sports School has private and group ski or snowboard lessons, children's programmes and alpine and backcountry guides.
