Guest and Staff Education
February 9 2007: Evening show Alison Gannett's Global Cooling Ski Adventure JHMR Introduces The Wild West Woods Ski Terrain for 05/06 When young skiers and riders are ready to leave the comfort of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Kids Ranch, they can now venture into the Wild West Woods! The Wild West Woods have turned some of JHMR's beginner ski slopes into an old west adventure for kids, including teepees, ranch style ski-throughs, bridges, and life size animal figures hidden in the forest. Nestled amongst the trees, an "old settler's tent" will act as a warming hut for kids, complete with furs, skins, and educational displays emphasizing the environment and mountain wildlife. Six new trails have been built with themes including the scat and the skull trails, tree identification, snow science, and physical features such as a mini terrain park, and race course to promote skill building. Wild West Woods Trail Maps will be available so children can scout the area they want to explore "The Wild West Woods will be a fun place to develop skiing and riding skills while discovering the incredible natural environment and some of the old west lore of Jackson Hole," commented Kath Roe, Mountain Sports School Children's Manager.
