TETON VILLAGE, Wyo. — This Saturday, Dec. 18, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) will expand its terrain, lift and restaurant offerings, announced the resort this afternoon.

The Bridger Gondola, Casper lift, Marmot lift, Thunder lift and Sublette lift will all open on Saturday, in addition to all the lifts spinning last weekend.

“The combination of cold December temperatures and hard work from our committed Mountain Operations team, coupled with our recent storm cycles have delivered more snow on both the lower and upper mountain,” said JHMR President Mary Kate Buckley.

Additionally, on Saturday, Teewinot Lift, Après Vous Lift and Sweetwater Gondola will start loading at 8:30 a.m. for the season. The Aerial Tram will continue to load daily from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. for sightseeing and access to Corbet’s Cabin.

All JHMR restaurants will open for the season on Saturday, including RPK3, Piste Mountain Bistro, Off-Piste Market, Casper Restaurant and Rendezvous Casual Dining. Also beginning on Saturday, Off-Piste will be serving waffles, Neapolitan pizza, coffee, fresh-made pastries, sandwiches and salads, beer and wine starting at 9 a.m. daily.

The mountain warns that early season conditions still exist, and all guests are advised to stay out of all closed areas and look for hazards.
