Known for its snowy slopes and all ages winter experiences, Snow King Mountain Resort is also home to a near-endless array of summertime fun. Whether you’re cruising through hair-raising turns as you ride the popular Cowboy Coaster, gliding down the mountain on Jackson’s only Alpine Slide, or climbing from tree-to-tree on their Treetop Adventure Course, Snow King Mountain Resort offers families no shortage of exciting experiences and memorable adventures to add to their summer itinerary.

Zipline at Snow King Mountain Resort

One of the resort’s newest attractions is also its most daring — a nearly 1,300-foot-long zipline that guides riders down Snow King Mountain at speeds up to 60 miles per hour. Known as the Zip Tour, this heart-pounding activity is ideal for those looking to infuse a bit of action into their Jackson Hole sightseeing experience.

The Zip Tour consists of three separate sections with two ziplines each, allowing you to race down the mountain side-by-side with family and friends. As you fly down the mountain, you’ll enjoy unparalleled, panoramic views of the Grand Tetons, National Elk Refuge and the trees, slopes and attractions of Snow King Mountain as they rush by some 480 feet beneath your feet.

The experience on the steepest zipline in North America is divided into three segments, the first of which eases riders into the experience, tests their skills, and equips them with safety training. From there, things quickly pick up speed as you reach the zipline’s steepest span, descending rapidly at a 36% grade and passing over — and through — trees. The grade decreases to 31% as you soar over the Cowboy Coaster and come in for a soft landing at the base of the mountain, where you can catch your breath and refuel at one of the local restaurants, make your way into Jackson’s Town Square, or move onto the next adventure.
