Expert guide to Jackson Hole
The ski area’s resort, known as Teton Village, is a horseshoe-shaped community of shops, lodgings and resort admin offices planted snugly at the base of the ski area. Comparatively quieter than Jackson, the village has several bars and restaurants and does host concerts and après events during winter.
However, this setup of the ski area at Teton Village – 12 miles from the town of Jackson – poses a conundrum. Do you stay in Teton Village (rather dwarfed by the huge, slope-side Four Seasons’ Hotel) and travel to Jackson for your evening entertainment, or stay in Jackson and have to travel 30 minutes by bus or rental car to the slopes each day?

The Four Seasons Resort and Residences
A huge ski-in/ski-out slope-side hotel which completely changed the folksy atmosphere of Teton Village when it appeared like a vast invading space station back in 2004. But the Four Seasons Resort and Residences undeniably offers luxury at a location which could hardly be closer to the slopes.
