4.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS of the RESORT Situated in Wyoming's Majestic Teton Mountain Range, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Attracts Visitors from Throughout the World 4.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS of the RESORT Situated in Wyoming's majestic Teton Mountain Range, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort attracts visitors from throughout the world. With one of the greatest vertical drops of any U.S. ski area (4,139 feet), and a wide variety of usable ski terrain encompassing approximately 2,200 acres1 of challenging slopes, snowfields, and powder bowls, Jackson Hole is recognized by experienced skiers as one of the top ski resorts in the United States. The resort receives over 400 inches of snow fall annually and often has some of the best powder skiing and snowboard riding in North America. With an open boundary access policy in place, the resort also offers some of the best back country and side country skiing available anywhere. The following evaluation of the existing resort facilities at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) involves an inventory and analysis of the current resort operation. The inventory of infrastructure used during the winter operation is the first step in the evaluation and consists of a compilation of data pertaining to the existing ski area facilities, including the ski lifts, on mountain facilities, infrastructure, ski terrain, snowmaking equipment, snow grooming equipment, utilities and any additional facilities that are directly related to the ski area operation. The analysis of this data involves the application of ski industry standards to the existing facilities at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. This process enables JHMR to compare the existing ski area to similar resorts throughout the United States. The overall balance of the resort facilities is evaluated by calculating the skier capacities of the various components of the ski operation and comparing them with the area's current Comfortable Carrying Capacity (CCC)2. This analysis identifies the strengths and weaknesses (surpluses and deficits) of the ski area operation, which provides an indication of what modifications are necessary to bring the existing ski area more into balance with the needs of the skier marketplace and move the resort toward greater success by satisfying these demands. EXISTING ON-MOUNTAIN SKIING INFRASTRUCTURE Existing on-mountain infrastructure is in place for the primary reason of supporting alpine skiing activities. Infrastructure is assumed to be all ski lifts, buildings, miscellaneous support infrastructure and formalized ski terrain. But with the recent passage of new forest service regulations allowing more types of summer activities, this plan has a greater focus on summer uses than any plan approved in the past. The foldout on the next page (Figure 4.1) shows the existing conditions of the resort during the 2012/2013 ski season. 1 Includes both formalized terrain and off-trail and hike-to terrain within the resort boundary. 2 Resort design capacity formula created by S.E. Group Inc. 26 FIGURE 4.1 EXISTING CONDITIONS 27 4.1 EXISTING LIFTS The skiable terrain at Jackson Hole is currently served by an aerial tram, one gondola, three detachable chair lifts, seven fixed grip chair lifts, three handle tows, and one conveyor (carpet) lift for a total of 16 lifts.

The Tram has the largest vertical rise of any ski lift in North America. With a vertical rise of approximately 4,100 feet and a total length of almost two and one half miles, the Tram offers a diverse array of skiing opportunities. It has the highest utilization rate out of all the lifts at the resort during busy periods of the year. Being a jig-back style lift system, the uphill capacity of the Tram is limited by its length. The maximum uphill capacity of the Tram is 650 skiers per hour under ideal loading conditions and operating at a rope speed of 2,000 feet/minute. All skiers riding the Tram must ski the expert caliber slopes of Rendezvous Bowl or East Ridge traverse to access the remainder of the ski area. Due to the steepness of these slopes, it is not practical to groom this terrain. Since large numbers of skiers would adversely affect snow conditions on these steep runs, the low uphill hourly capacity of the Tram is appropriate to maintaining favorable snow conditions. From the base of Rendezvous Bowl and East Ridge traverse, skiers from 28 the Tram can access all points of the ski area with the exception of upper Casper Bowl and the upper Apres Vous mountain area. Bridger Gondola This gondola is one of the more popular lifts at the resort especially during inclement weather. It is fast and carries eight passengers in comfort in an enclosed cabin. The capacity is as high as 2,000 pph and is used both in the winter and summer. It is also used in the evenings to transport guests up the mountain for fine dining at Bridger restaurant. In the summer, it is currently open to the general public six days a week at 4:30 p.m. for free access to the “Deck” (outside patio) for drinks and appetizers. Eagle's Rest This double chair is a beginner/novice chair that primarily feeds Eagle's Rest and Pooh Bear trails. The lift does play a minor access role to the Sweetwater lift. The lift is positioned to fully serve the gentle slopes at the base of the mountain, while keeping the beginner/novice skiers separated from the more advanced skiers who regularly return to the base area to ride the Tram and gondola. This is the oldest lift at the resort and although over 48 years old, it is in good operating condition and well maintained. All of the lift alignments are well conceived in terms of serving the available ski terrain in a logical and efficient manner. Teewinot This high speed quad provides access to the novice terrain at the base of the resort. Along with servicing the slopes of Teewinot, Antelope Flats and Lower Werner trails, it also provides access to the Apres Vous lift. Being located at the base of the resort, it maintains a separation between the novice skiers and the more advanced skiers who remain higher up on the mountain. The Teewinot base terminal is one of four lift terminals located close to the base lodges and ticket windows and provides key out of base lift capacity during the first few hours of operation each day. Apres Vous This high speed quad chair serves the intermediate and advanced intermediate slopes of Apres Vous Mountain. The lift is aligned to access the vast area of ski slopes between the Moran Face area and the eastern ski area permit boundary. When weather is poor due to high wind or low visibility on upper portions of the mountain, the Apres Vous chair becomes very popular. The uphill capacity of the Apres Vous chair is currently 2,100 people per hour (pph) and adequately serves this highly groomed terrain. Due to its southern exposure, conditions in this area can be less than optimal late in the ski season. Sweetwater This lift is a fixed grip triple that is primarily used by guests to access the Casper lift and its associated intermediate terrain. The Mountain Sports School also utilizes this lift frequently for their lower ability level group lessons. The base terminal is located just downhill from the unload point of the Eagle’s Rest chair lift. 29 Casper This high speed quad chair is most popular with low-intermediate and intermediate skiers. Some of the highest skier densities on the slopes at Jackson Hole are observed on Easy Does It and Sundog trails which are served by the Casper chair. The base terminal of the lift is located on a relatively narrow ridge which somewhat limits circulation space during busy holiday periods. This lift, installed during the summer of 2012, is the newest lift at the resort. Marmot This double chair was installed during the summer of 2011. It was relocated from Rendezvous Bowl after the new Tram was installed.

Johnsen Company of Portland. Despite these early glimmers of skiing awareness, when the sport began its ascendancy to popularity in the 1930s, the state’s likeliest venues were more distant, and public land ownership less widespread, than was the case in the neighboring states of New Hampshire and Vermont, and ski area development in those states was consequently greater.

Received: 17 August 2020; Accepted: 15 December 2020; Published: 18 December 2020 Abstract: Climate change affects snowpack properties indirectly through the greater need for artificial snow production for ski centers. The seasonal snowpacks at five ski centers in Central Slovakia were examined over the course of three winter seasons to identify and compare the seasonal development and inter-seasonal and spatial variability of depth average snow density of ski piste snow and uncompacted natural snow. The spatial variability in the ski piste snow density was analyzed in relation to the snow depth and snow lances at the Košútka ski center using GIS. A special snow tube for high-density snowpack sampling was developed (named the MM snow tube) and tested against the commonly used VS-43 snow tube. Measurements showed that the MM snow tube was constructed appropriately and had comparable precision. Significant differences in mean snow density were identified for the studied snow types.

  • Environmental Effects Associated with Snow Grooming and Skiing at Treble Cone Ski Field
    Environmental effects associated with snow grooming and skiing at Treble Cone Ski Field Part 1. Vegetation and soil disturbance Kate Wardle and Barry Fahey ABSTRACT The expansion of ski facilities on public conservation land administered by Department of Conservation (DOC) is placing increased pressure on fragile sub- alpine and alpine ecosystems. Snow grooming in particular has the potential to disturb both soils and vegetation. Field visits to three west Otago ski fields located on land managed by DOC showed that cushionfields are the most vulnerable to damage from snow grooming. To determine the nature and extent of damage to cushionfields 10 permanent 30 m transects were established across cushionfields in 1997 in areas that were groomed and skied, areas that were skied, and in undisturbed (control) areas at Treble Cone Ski Field. Data were collected at 0.3 m intervals to estimate percentage ground cover for six classes: live vascular plants, moss, lichen, dead vegetation and litter, bare ground, and rock and gravel. The frequency of each plant species was also recorded. Measurements of depth of A- horizon, soil bulk density, and penetration resistance were made at 3 m intervals along each transect. There was a statistically significant difference in the cover of live vegetation among the three treatments. Cushionfields that were groomed had a lower cover of live vascular vegetation than the other treatments. Those cushionfields that had been groomed for only a year had the lowest cover of live vegetation. There were no significant differences in species richness and composition between the two treatments and the control, nor were there any statistical differences in soil bulk densities and penetration resistance.

  • Impact of Artificial Snow and Ski-Slope Grooming on Snowpack Properties and Soil Thermal Regime in a Sub-Alpine Ski Area
    Annals of Glaciology 38 2004 # International Glaciological Society Impact of artificial snow and ski-slope grooming on snowpack properties and soil thermal regime in a sub-alpine ski area Thomas KELLER,1,2 Christine PIELMEIER,3 Christian RIXEN,3 Florian GADIENT,2,4 David GUSTAFSSON,3 Manfred STA«HLI2,3 1Department of Soil Sciences, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU),P.O. Box 7014, S-75007 Uppsala, Sweden E-mail: [email protected] 2Institute ofTerrestrial Ecology, Swiss Federal Institute ofTechnology ETH Zu«rich, Grabenstrasse 3, CH-8952 Schlieren, Switzerland 3WSL Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF,Flu«elastrasse 11,CH-7260 Davos-Dorf, Switzerland 4B+S IngenieurAG, Muristrasse 60, CH-3000 Bern 16, Switzerland ABSTRACT. Earlier studies have indicated that the soil on groomed ski slopes may be subjected to more pronounced cooling than the soil below a natural snowpack. We ana- lyzed the thermal impacts of ski-slope preparation in a sub-alpine ski resort in central Switzerland (1100 m a.s.l.) where artificial snow was produced. Physical snow properties and soil temperature measurements were carried out on the ski slope and off-piste during winter 1999/2000. The numerical soil^vegetation^atmosphere transfer model COUP was run for both locations, with a new option to simulate the snowpack development on a groomed ski slope. Snow density, snow hardness and thermal conductivity were signifi- cantly higher on the ski slope than in the natural snowpack. However, these differences did not affect the cooling of the soil, since no difference was observed between the ski slope and the natural snow cover.

  • Optimal Preparation of Alpine Ski Runs
    OPTIMAL PREPARATION OF ALPINE SKI RUNS Mathieu Fauve*, Hansueli Rhyner, Martin Schneebeli, Walter Ammann WSL Swiss Federal Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF, CH-7260 Davos, Switzerland ABSTRACT: The demands on the quality of ski runs have grown with the development of sports equipment. A skiing run must nowadays provide perfect grip, have a certain strength and be durable in order to satisfy the users. The preparation of ski runs involves many snow transformations such as recrystallization, vapor transport, and sintering. These processes strongly depend on the weather conditions that can obviously not be influenced. Therefore, understanding the influences of the various processes involved in grooming is crucial to choose the optimal time and procedure to prepare the runs. Our aim is to optimize the preparation of skiing runs from a technical, economical and ecological point of view. We developed a framework in which the physical and mechanical processes of snow, the weather forecast and type of grooming was taken into account. The influence of snow properties on grooming practice for both, natural and machine-made snow was considered. We propose the best suited grooming method and preparation time for both dry and wet snow in order to obtain high quality and durable runs. Regarding its structural and mechanical properties, machine-made snow constitutes a good snowpack and requires less processing than natural snow for its hardening. By following the proposed scheme the best conditions possible for all skier and riders can be created. Keywords: ski run, snow grooming, weather, snow properties, snow sintering, machine-made snow 1.

  • Sensitive and Rare Plant Species Inventory in the Salt River and Wyoming Ranges, Bridger-Teton National Forest
    Sensitive and Rare Plant Species Inventory in the Salt River and Wyoming Ranges, Bridger-Teton National Forest Prepared for Bridger-Teton National Forest P.O. Box 1888 Jackson, WY 83001 by Bonnie Heidel Wyoming Natural Diversity Database University of Wyoming Dept 3381, 1000 E. University Avenue University of Wyoming Laramie, WY 21 February 2012 Cooperative Agreement No. 07-CS-11040300-019 ABSTRACT Three sensitive and two other Wyoming species of concern were inventoried in the Wyoming and Salt River Ranges at over 20 locations. The results provided a significant set of trend data for Payson’s milkvetch (Astragalus paysonii), expanded the known distribution of Robbin’s milkvetch (Astragalus robbinsii var. minor), and relocated and expanded the local distributions of three calciphilic species at select sites as a springboard for expanded surveys. Results to date are presented with the rest of species’ information for sensitive species program reference. This report is submitted as an interim report representing the format of a final report. Tentative priorities for 2012 work include new Payson’s milkvetch surveys in major recent wildfires, and expanded Rockcress draba (Draba globosa) surveys, both intended to fill key gaps in status information that contribute to maintenance of sensitive plant resources and information on the Forest. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS All 2011 field surveys of Payson’s milkvetch (Astragalus paysonii) were conducted by Klara Varga. These and the rest of 2011 surveys built on the 2010 work of Hollis Marriott and the earlier work of she and Walter Fertig as lead botanists of Wyoming Natural Diversity Database. This project was initially coordinated by Faith Ryan (Bridger-Teton National Forest), with the current coordination and consultation of Gary Hanvey and Tyler Johnson.
