Opening day at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort this past Saturday, November 27th is one for the books! Never in the history of JHMR has so much snow fallen to date. With a record 130" of total season snowfall and the current snow depth at 51" came a record opening of the entire mountain that was wall to wall with all lifts running.

With record snowfall waiting in the mountains skiers and boarders lined up early for a spot on the infamous first tram of the season. The crowd was filled with amazing energy, thats hard to describe, as JHMR opened the tram gate and the entire mountain. It was a full on powder day and only November 27th! Everyone was blown away by how much snow and open terrain there was. This historical 2010 opening of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort will always be remembered. Thank you JHMR for making history!
