The Jackson Hole Aerial Tram

One of the most iconic lifts in the world and the linchpin of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort dream. Enjoy this inside look at running and maintaining the Aerial Tram.
Big Red, is the second tram of its kind at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. In 2006, after forty years of service, we retired the first tram and began building the new bigger and sleeker version, which currently runs today. The original Tram held 52 people and took 10.5 minutes to reach the summit, while the new tram holds 100 and takes just about 9 minutes to the top.
Tram info:
• Ride time/length: 9 minutes, 4,139 vertical feet
• Nickname: Big Red, The Red Heli
• Birthdate: December 19, 2008
• Construction Dates: April 2007 - December 2008

I love Jackson hole plus I went on spring break but since I’m depressed that we left I would love to work with the big red

WOW...especially when you board for the first time, September 1 2016. Were told the lifts will shut down with the impending storm front reportedly coming this way per national Weather Service. They said you would have to weather it out if you do go up. The lifts would resume to get us off the mountain if it happens. We were close to closing time that day. Time 4:11 Temp 81F What did we do ? Walked the Cirque Trail from Waffle House to The Bistro with the impending storm coming. We did encounter high winds, and misting in the air, but the terror of the main cell just went little north of us.

Back in the summer of 2009, I hiked up Rendezvous Mountain from Teton Village. At that time, if you were to hike up the mountain you could get a free ride down to the Village on the Tram. Ask about this deal if you want some exercise and have a couple of free hours. While you are in Jackson Hole and want a good breakfast try out Bubba's Bar-B-Q Restaurant at the intersection of West Pearl Avenue and Flat Creek Drive. Ask for the Working Man's Special; it's fantastic, but not too many customers know about it because it's not on the menu - you have to know about it in order to ask for it. If you do, come back here and tell me how you liked it.
