Ski with an Olympian

A private lesson with MSS isn’t just about creating your perfect lesson, but your perfect day. Whether you want to find runs that the whole family can enjoy together, ski a steep couloir, link turns, get more comfortable skiing trees, ski every green or blue run at the resort, or spend the entire day smiling, booking a private lesson with an MSS coach is the single best step you can take toward making your vision of your perfect day on our mountain a reality.

JHMR’s 2,500 acres of inbounds terrain are amazing. And there’s even more amazing terrain that surrounds us. Stretching south from the resort, the Bridger-Teton National Forest is an expanse of wildland about the size of the state of Connecticut. Trained in avalanche safety and with years of exploring JHMR’s and the BTNF’s backcountry under their skis and boards, JHMR Backcountry Guides create custom side- and back-country experiences in this vast wilderness that will redefine what an “epic” ski day is.

If you’re considering going backcountry skiing with us, you should be confident skiing ungroomed black diamond runs.

In 1998, we were one of the first ski areas to open its boundaries, allowing skiers and snowboarders to explore adjacent backcountry terrain without worrying about having their passes pulled. Even though it’s now the rare resort that has closed boundaries, we continue to be a pioneer in backcountry access through our 2- to 4-day backcountry camps. Presented in partnership with Mammut, a Swiss company recognized for its innovative backcountry safety gear, these camps feature our best mountain guides teaching topics from route selection to snowpack evaluation, backcountry travel best practices, and backcountry equipment. Your “classroom” for these camps? Some of the country’s most epic and expansive backcountry terrain. No prior backcountry experience is required for these camps, but you must be able to comfortably ski varying conditions off-piste.
