JACKSON HOLE, Wyoming – Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) will be fully open for summer operations beginning on Saturday, June 15, despite the catastrophic failure and road closure along Highway 22’s Teton Pass.
JHMR released a statement to their twitter and full press release to their website discussing the closure, noting that three other roads that access the resort are still open.
