Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Sweetwater Gondola Update
Construction is in full swing and we couldn't be more excited for the snow to start falling.
Who doesn't get excited about easier and more efficient access? We sure do and it's coming this winter at
JHMR
.
Construction is moving along on the new Sweetwater Gondola slated to open for this 2016/2017 season.
Rising for a total of 1,276 feet, the gondola is located between the Bridger Gondola and Teewinot High Speed Quad. There will be a mid-station approximately a third of the way in the Solitude area.

Sweetwater Gondola September Update from Jackson Hole
By: Peter Landsman
Date: September 7, 2016
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort opens for skiing 76 days from today and the new Sweetwater Gondola will open for business in mid-December. Since my last update, the Doppelmayr crew finished the enclosure at the bottom terminal and erected the entire drive station up top. Doppelmayr custom-designed the lower station skin in Austria for JHMR with a round end to mimic the shape of Teewinot and Bridger. After some initial skepticism, the consensus around here is it looks awesome and we will have to see if Doppelmayr offers the design to anyone else going forward. The UNI-G is Doppelmayr’s standard detachable terminal worldwide but the new, boxier D-Line will be offered as an option in North America beginning next year.
