Snow King Resort Alpine/Downhill Resorts Resort (Are you this resort?)

General Comments/Likes

If Howelson Hill in Steamboat Springs, Colorado is the “biggest little ski area” in America then Snow King Resort in Jackson, Wyoming is the STEEPEST little ski hill in America. With a vertical drop of 1,571 feet you might think it would be a waste of your time to ski here when Jackson Hole is so close. Well you’d be wrong. Snow King is incredibly steep, and how many “little local’s hill” offer hike-to-ski extremes? How many ski areas let you buy a three hour lift ticket for $30? How many ski areas have BIG lockers that cost only 25 cents and then refund the quarter when you’re finished at the end of the day. Tired of the agro-dude-a-tude of J-Hole? Spend a retro-day of skiing at Snow King, you’ll think you’ve gone back in time to when it was all about the skiing and not the “resortness”.
Favorite runs; Bearcat, the S-Chutes, Belly Roll.
Snow King has the friendliest ski patrollers that I’ve met in a long, long time, and if you didn’t get enough runs during the day then take advantage of the night skiing.

Dislikes

The lifts at Snow King Resort are a bit on the old and slow side. There’s not a lot of dining options, but the base has quick and cheap eats.
