The mountains are big and steep, but that is not the only thing that makes Jackson Hole special. It's the people who live here. They all appreciate what Jackson Hole has to offer. I think that is why Jackson is very open in so many ways. Locals are open to people who come from other places as long as they respect the mountains and other people.
Skiers are open to snowboarders, and vice versa.
The mountain itself is open to any kind of riding. The resort is open for backcountry access. The whole place is open for anyone, as long as they are humble and respect Mother Nature. No friends on a powder day. Everyone tries to beat everyone else for fresh tracks.
