The ski season out west hasn’t started quite yet, but we’re getting closer and closer every day. Resorts in Colorado look like they could be within a few weeks of opening, while many resorts throughout the Intermountain West have plans to start their lifts in early November. To get you stoked for the upcoming season, enjoy some hardcore skiing from Jackson Hole local and professional Owen Leeper.
Most of the skiing in this video was filmed off the resort at Jackson Hole, so don’t expect to find these lines while riding lifts all day. Nonetheless, it’s truly wild to see the types runs that the backcountry areas around the ski resort offer. There’s some very gnarly terrain.
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is celebrating their 60th anniversary this year. Opening day for their winter season is currently scheduled for November 28th, 2025. The season will run into the spring, with a tentative closing date currently scheduled for April 12th, 2026 (that’s subject to change, though).
