About Snow King Mountain Sports
Snow King Mountain Sports sits inside the Snow King Hotel adjacent to the beginner magic carpet, just six blocks from the Jackson Town Square. Snow King Mountain is Jackson's in-town ski hill — a steep, no-frills resort that locals have been skiing since 1939 — and having the rental shop right at the base means you can walk from your hotel room to the slopes in under five minutes. For families with beginners, this proximity to the magic carpet and learning terrain is invaluable.
The shop refreshes their entire rental fleet every season with gear for all ability levels, from value-priced beginner setups to high-performance demo packages that let advanced skiers test current-year models. Snowboard packages are equally comprehensive, covering all-mountain and freestyle options. Notably, Snow King Mountain Sports is one of the few shops in town renting uphill and backcountry touring rigs — both split-setup snowboards and AT ski packages with skins — making them a favourite among splitboarders and skintrack enthusiasts who want to earn their turns on the surrounding Teton terrain.
Boot fitting is handled with genuine care, and the staff understand that a beginner spending their first day on the magic carpet needs a very different boot flex and ski setup than an expert lapping Snow King's famously steep face. Junior packages with helmets included make the shop popular with families, and multi-day rental discounts reward longer stays. The Snow King Hotel location also means the shop is within walking distance of downtown Jackson's restaurants, shops, and nightlife. For visitors who want convenient, quality rental equipment with the bonus of backcountry touring options that most resort rental shops simply do not offer, Snow King Mountain Sports is a standout choice in Jackson.
