Jackson Hole Mountain Resort will be replacing the Eagle’s Rest lift this summer with a new four seater fixed-grip chairlift. The original Eagle’s Rest lift was a 2-person fixed-grip double that predated the original Jackson Hole tram. The original lift was removed in 2016 to make way for the Sweetwater Gondola station.
By The Numbers:
Length: 2158′

The new Eagle’s Rest quad will travel just south and uphill of the old lift following a revised alignment from the original. The resort plans to use the lift to service the new learning area.
