Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has the longest continuous vertical rise of any ski area in the U.S., rising 4,139 feet from the valley floor to the top of Rendezvous Mountain! Known for its "Cowboy Powder" and challenging runs, Jackson Hole gave us all we could handle.  Steep and deep skiing made natural hot spring dips that much more soothing on the muscles.  A bonus day at Grand Targhee Resort and a drive to the Southern Gate of Yellowstone made the 3rd annual Mountain Cat trip one to remember.
