Jackson Hole is known to be a hard mountain.

ZZ,

Tahoe would be a better choice. There are several ski areas there with lots of beginner & intermediate runs.

Jackson Hole is a tough mountain. They do have a beg & intermediate area, but it's limited, no very many runs.

Plus, what is rated a blue run at Jackson would be a black at most other places.

One thing, on the other side of Teton Pass, is Grand Targhee, Idaho. It's more of a family place and has more moderate runs, with the same great snow.

As you can see by my screen name, I'm COMPLETELY biased, but have you considered Tamarack, Idaho? Western side of Idaho, new resort, nice mountain with more snow than Jackson, GREAT out of bounds skiing, even some that's not too expert.

There are 2 ski areas in Jackson Hole. Snow King, close to town has easier runs etc etc...

Teton Village, well, uh, they keep an othropedic surgeon at the base of the mountain......
