"To be clear and definite about what this ranking system entails, here are the three essential criteria for our list: Continuous top-to-bottom runs: Must be substantial, uninterrupted descent, serviced by a single lift. Challenging pitch and steepness: The run must deliver a true test of speed and edge control Reliable Grooming: Must be groomed daily or very frequently Without further ado, here are the 5 most challenging and rewarding groomed runs in the United States you absolutely have to try."
"Starting our list at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in the Tetons of Wyoming is Gros Ventre. Offloading skier's right from the Bridger Gondola, this upper section, double blue-rated trail is a great warm-up before diving into more expert terrain JMHR has to offer. This trail, according to Trail Forks , is 1.4 miles long and features many long and steep drops as it winds down to a more mellow blue rating toward the base at Teton Village."
The ranking prioritizes continuous top-to-bottom runs serviced by a single lift, challenging pitch that tests speed and edge control, and reliable daily grooming. Gros Ventre at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is a 1.4-mile upper-section double-blue trail accessed from the Bridger Gondola, offering long steep drops that mellow toward Teton Village. The Rendezvous Lodge at the Bridger Gondola summit provides food and mountain views for quick breaks before relapsing onto the run. Big Sky's Ambush is a nearly one-mile, double-blue groomer accessed from the Ramcharger 8, enabling fast laps and high skier throughput to Andesite Mountain.
