Three of the Most Challenging Ski Slopes in Jackson Hole


George Manos, co-owner and CEO of THOR Executive Security Teams, founded in 2005, is an avid skier. Favoring ski resorts in Jackson Hole, Wyoming and in Keystone, Colorado, George Manos is no stranger to black diamond ski runs.

Three of the most challenging ski runs in Jackson Hole are as follows:

1. Exhibition Run on Snow King Mountain

This mountain is said to have the steepest ski slope of any hill in North America. Its double-black diamond Exhibition Run is long, steep, often icy, and viewable by nearly the whole town below. Wiping out won’t be a secret.

2. Corbet’s Couloir at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort

To begin this hill, skiers have to perform an air entrance and then quickly dodge a rock wall before sailing down hundreds of feet on a 40 degree slope.

3. S&S Couloir at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort

Named after local ski legends John Simms and Charlie Sands, this slope is only open to people who clear their entry with the ski patrol and sign a special waiver. The drop in is around 40 feet and rock walls are abundant.
