Trailborn Jackson Hole Opens at Snow King Mountain, Elevating Year-Round Luxury Tourism in Wyoming

Jackson Hole has expanded its year-round hospitality offering with the opening of Trailborn Jackson Hole, a 203-room resort positioned at the base of Snow King Mountain. The property is the largest in the Trailborn Hotels & Resorts portfolio and introduces the brand’s first all-season ski-in, ski-out destination.

The reimagined resort combines direct mountain access, full-service wellness, destination dining and proximity to downtown Jackson. It also gives visitors a strategically located base for exploring Grand Teton National Park, Yellowstone National Park and the wider outdoor attractions of north-west Wyoming.

For the regional tourism economy, the opening adds significant accommodation capacity while supporting demand across winter sports, summer adventure, wellness travel, family holidays and national park itineraries.

Snow King Mountain Location Strengthens Resort Appeal

Trailborn Jackson Hole occupies a prominent position at Snow King Mountain, Wyoming’s first ski area and one of Jackson’s best-known recreation hubs. Guests can reach the slopes directly from the property, with access to skiing, snowboarding and mountain activities only steps from the resort.

Snow King also supports tourism beyond winter. Hiking, mountain biking, sightseeing and family attractions help extend visitor activity into spring, summer and autumn, allowing the hotel to operate as a genuine four-season resort.

Downtown Jackson is located only minutes away, giving travellers convenient access to restaurants, boutiques, galleries and Western cultural experiences. This combination of outdoor recreation and urban amenities strengthens the property’s appeal to visitors who want both adventure and a lively destination atmosphere.

Reimagined Design Reflects Jackson Hole Heritage

The resort occupies the former Snow King Resort Hotel, which has been redesigned while retaining elements of its original mountain character.

Its architecture and interiors combine reclaimed timber, native stone, metal detailing and warm natural textures. These materials create a modern interpretation of Jackson Hole’s Western identity without losing the relaxed atmosphere expected from an alpine retreat.

Guest rooms have been designed for couples, families, groups and individual travellers. Many include balconies and mountain views, while practical layouts support both short ski breaks and longer stays focused on national parks, wellness or outdoor exploration.

The resort’s public spaces are intended to function as social gathering points where guests can relax, dine or plan the next stage of their Wyoming itinerary.

Ski-In, Ski-Out Access Supports Winter Tourism

Direct access to Snow King Mountain is one of the property’s most important advantages. Equipment rental facilities near the lobby and convenient access to the mountain reduce the need for additional transport, creating a more efficient experience for skiing and snowboarding guests.

This accessibility is particularly valuable for families and short-stay visitors who want to maximise time on the slopes. It also supports Jackson Hole’s position as a winter destination capable of serving travellers with different experience levels and holiday preferences.

However, Trailborn Jackson Hole is designed to attract visitors throughout the year rather than relying entirely on the ski season. This broader approach can support more stable employment and visitor spending across the surrounding tourism economy.

Mountain Dining Expands the Guest Experience

Old Timer Restaurant & Bar serves as the resort’s principal dining venue and après-ski gathering space. Its menu draws on alpine comfort food, with dishes including steak frites, cheese-based mountain favourites and roasted meats.

The restaurant’s fireplace-led setting and mountain-inspired design reinforce the resort’s connection to Jackson Hole’s ski culture. Local collaborations, including regional beer offerings, further connect the dining experience to Wyoming and the neighbouring Teton region.

Mountainside Bar & Café provides a more casual option for coffee, light meals, drinks and socialising throughout the day. Together, the venues encourage guests to spend more time within the property while also creating additional dining options near Snow King Mountain.

Ember Lily Spa Broadens Wellness Tourism

Trailborn Jackson Hole also introduces Ember Lily, the brand’s first full-service spa and a major addition to the property’s year-round appeal.

Facilities include treatment rooms, steam areas, a salt lounge, infrared wellness features, hot tubs, cold plunges and dedicated recovery spaces. The concept has been designed around restoration after skiing, hiking, cycling and other physically demanding activities.

This combination of adventure and recovery reflects a growing tourism trend in which travellers seek active outdoor experiences supported by premium wellness services. It also allows the resort to attract guests whose primary motivation may be relaxation rather than sport.

Gateway to Grand Teton and Yellowstone

Grand Teton National Park lies close to Jackson and remains open throughout the year, although seasonal access and services vary. Its mountain scenery, lakes, wildlife and trail network generate strong summer demand while also attracting winter photographers and nature travellers.

Yellowstone National Park provides another major draw for visitors planning broader Wyoming itineraries. The park recorded more than 4.7 million recreational visits in 2025, demonstrating the scale of demand for the region’s protected landscapes.

Trailborn Jackson Hole is positioned to benefit from this national park traffic while encouraging longer stays in Jackson. By combining accommodation, wellness, dining and direct recreation access, the resort can serve as both a destination in its own right and a launch point for wider exploration.

Its opening strengthens Wyoming’s mountain tourism sector and reinforces Jackson Hole’s reputation as a place where luxury hospitality, outdoor adventure and iconic American landscapes meet throughout every season.
