Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
The steepest skiing on this list with a five-star base village — North America's readers' favourite for good reason.
Why it is here
Condé Nast Traveller readers ranked Jackson Hole first in North America in 2025 with 98.40. Skiresort.info measures 116 km of slopes, 13 lifts and a 1,261 m vertical up to 3,185 m. The terrain score reflects its steeps and lift-served expert lines; luxury is narrower than Aspen because Teton Village is small.
Who it is for
Expert skiers who want lift-served steeps and backcountry gates, then a high-end base village and Jackson's ranch country.
