What’s new for the 2008/2009 season at Jackson Hole and Snow King Resorts in Wyoming

At the end of the spring and summer tourism season, construction began for a brand new set of trams that will carry skiers and snowboarders around the Jackson Hole and Snow King Resorts. Not only is construction well on its way to being finished at this point, but the ski resort is already trying to decide who will ride the first tram of the season this coming winter, 2008 and 2009, because construction is on schedule and the first load test is scheduled for early November.

The Jackson Hole is holding a contest for who will win one of the first spots on the first Jackson Hole tram on Opening Day for the 2008 and 2009 winter season. The winner of the contest, along with a guest, will win a fully paid four day trip to the Jackson Hole, or a complete season pass for the entire 2008 and 2009 winter season. The prize package for these two lucky people includes two spots on the first tram to run on the opening day for the winter season, along with two airline tickets, four nights worth of lodging in a condominium in Teton Village, two full lift tickets for four days, and two VIP passes for the celebration of the Aerial Team launch.
