Thunder lies at the heart of Jackson Hole. Since 1970, this legendary lift has carried skiers and riders up our slopes to access over 1,450 vertical feet of prime terrain, including Thunder Bumps, Tower 3, and Grand just to name a few. After decades of historic service, it’s time to usher in the next era for Thunder. Our brand-new detachable lift is double the speed of the old Thunder, cutting ride time in half to just 3.5 minutes. This means that you'll maximize your time on-snow and spend less of it waiting in line. As JHMR athlete Jim Ryan puts it, “on an excellent day, you never really feel like you get enough; now, I feel like I might finally be satisfied.” We can relate, Jim.

We're excited for you to ride Thunder this winter! Take a moment to view photos from throughout the construction process this summer and fall below. For anything winter-related at Jackson Hole, click here. We'll see you on the slopes.
