Snow King Mountain Resort is a ski area and summertime activity center in the western United States, located in Jackson, Wyoming. "The King" is Jackson's original ski hill, founded 78 years ago in 1939 and located on the southeast edge of the city. It was the first ski area in the state of Wyoming, and locals sometimes refer to Snow King as "The Town Hill." It offers three-hour passes and night skiing on its north-facing slopes.
Snow King's lift tickets are considerably less expensive than the two nearby resorts, Jackson Hole and Grand Targhee, which opened in 1965 and 1969, respectively. Snow King offers a full-day lift ticket for $47; Jackson Hole's full day ticket is $121.
The Cowboy Coaster on Snow King Mountain is a mountain coaster built by Wiegand Sports USA and completed 2 years ago in October 2015 on the eastern side of the mountain near the Rafferty Lift. Guests load and unload the carts at the base of the ride. The ride up takes about 5.5 minutes, and the ride down lasts between 2.5 and 4 minutes depending on the rider who can control the speed up to a maximum speed of 25 mph. The track gets as high as 43 feet off the ground, carries riders 456 vertical feet up Snow King Mountain and downhill on 3,295 feet of track (just a bit less than 1 mile), with 4 circles and 6 bridges. The track takes passengers through fields of grass and flowers, all framed by a view of the Teton range and the Jackson Hole valley.
The Treetop Adventure at Snow King Mountain is an aerial adventure park built by Outplay Adventures and opened 2 years ago in November 2015 on the eastern side of the mountain at the mid-station of the Rafferty Lift. The park has four adult courses of progressive difficulty, and a kids course. The park features nearly 100 "challenges" or "games" including zip lines, Tarzan swings, suspended bridges, nets, swinging logs, and aerial skateboards.
