AtomicSkier Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Anyone ever stay in the Hostel? My buddy just sent me the link and it looks mighty affordable...and says it has a pingpong/pool/shuffleboard tables. Where you guys staying? Those prices for a private room aren't great. Doug and I are staying at the 49er in a "suite" for $100/night. The standard 2 queen rooms are like $80/night. It's a nice hotel with free shuttle service to the mountain, hot tub and close to a lot of restaurants. There are cheaper alternatives (Antler Inn). However, if you book lodging through central reservations, you get a pretty good deal on lift tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NazarethSkier Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I think GSS likes the Quality Inn & Suites 49'er. The hotel is in town and the nightly rate is very reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ectobar Posted December 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 I've never stayed in a Hostel. Wasn't really looking too, but a friend sent me the link because he thought it might be interesting. I'm looking at 4 people going right now, so I guess thats why he thought the hostel might be cheap. The 49er sounds good though, I'll give it a look. Thanks guys. Looks like I'll be heading out there the week of 2/22, stoked! How about getting from the airport to the town? You guys rent a car, or just take some kind of shuttle?

Transportation is great in the town of Jackson and Teton Village. The 49er has shuttles to and from the mountain, however, the town busses run everywhere and very frequently. To get from the airport, you can either take a cab, or use Alltrans ( http://www.jacksonholealltrans.com ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ectobar Posted December 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 So looking at the map, its saying the town of Jackson and the 49er are about 30 mins from the mt, so I'm wondering, whats the reason for not staying in Teton Village? Is it costly, or nothing to do at night, or a combo of the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phillycore Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Pretty much Both Stay IN town... Everything is in town, except the mountain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicSkier Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 It's less then 30 minutes, but definitely stay in town. You either ride a bus to the mountain in the morning, or take a bus to the bars or to eat at night. The busses get you to the mountain in plenty of time in the morning before the lifts open.

ectobar Posted December 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Thanks for the info guys. I've been reading your stories of JH for a couple years now and have been dying to go, looks like its actually going to happen this year. Should be booking some flights in the next couple of days.
