Sweetwater Gondola

Ride the Sweetwater Gondola up 1,276' vertical feet to explore the mountain on foot or down exhilarating trails on your mountain bike.

June 11 - September 11, 2022, Bridger and Sweetwater Gondola access is included with your Summer Sightseeing Ticket. Teewinot chairlift access is not included with this ticket and is reserved for Bike Park bikers only. This sightseeing ticket does not include bike park access. Upgrade your sightseeing ticket at the resort for $15 to include bike park access.

Guests are allowed to ski in the backcountry accessible through our boundary gates located near the top of the Aerial Tram, but as part of JHMR’s special use permit with Bridger Teton National Forest, no skiing is permitted within the ski area boundary after the winter operating season. Guests with ski gear will be allowed to load the Tram, but not the gondolas.

Bike Trails Accessible Only From the Sweetwater Gondola

SOLITOGA

Step off the Sweetwater Gondola and hang a right to meet the Solitoga Trail, the longest continuous downhill trail at the JH Bike Park. The Solitoga Trail is a medium difficulty downhill trail that bobs and weaves through banked turns with sections of speed and flow all while taking you far into the woods of the northernmost end of the resort.

DEER JUMP

As the name suggests, the Deer Jump trail is the ideal mix of flow and jumps. Located as an off-shoot from the Solitoga Trail, get ready to enter a series of banked turns before transitioning into a set of large jumps. More flow turns, jumps, and bridges follow until the trail meets back up with the Solitoga Trail and the downhill fun continues all the way to the top of Teewinot.

DIRTY HARRY

The most challenging new trail in the JH Bike Park is a beast of its own. Starting at the top of the Sweetwater Gondola, Dirty Harry takes riders into the deep end right off the bat. Steep terrain, big rocks, and sharp turns define this double black diamond trail. Recommended for expert riders only, Dirty Harry will test grit and stamina.

DEEPEST DARKEST

Deepest Darkest runs directly south from the Sweetwater Gondola acting as a high-speed bobsled-like run featuring sizable berms and sections of flowy terrain. This run might be less technical than Dirty Harry, Deer Jumps, and Solitoga Trails but its 12-15 foot berms are enough fun to keep riders excited the whole way down as the trail traverses through old-growth forests under the Bridger Gondola. Ending at the bottom of Sundance Gully before joining back up with the lower bike park, Deepest Darkest will keep riders coming back for more. This trail is open to adaptive riders.

Sweetwater Hiking Trails

Hike up the scenic Wildflower Trail to grab some food and drinks at Rendezvous Lodge or opt for a steep and strenuous hike up Holey Moley.
