Access notes
Current access is only through the operator-controlled Jackson Hole Paragliding tandem operation at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Book and confirm directly with the operator; this listing does not reopen independent recreational solo access. The club's recreational JHMR guide still describes solo access as closed, so no unaffiliated pilot should use this launch from the map pin.
Site rules
  • Use only as a booked Jackson Hole Paragliding tandem operation with the assigned certified tandem instructor and current resort authorization.
  • Meet at the operator-designated location and follow the current lift, launch, passenger, weather-hold, refund, equipment, and landing instructions.
  • Do not interpret the current commercial operation as permission for recreational solo launch, guiding, instruction, or independent lift access; confirm any non-tandem use directly with JHMR and JHFFC.
  • Use only the operator-approved Teton Village landing zone and comply with the current emergency-helicopter, insurance, membership, and landing-operation conditions.
  • The published 2026 tandem season is May 16-October 4 with morning meeting times, but daily wind, lift, wildfire, and resort closures control.
Direction notes
The current commercial operator does not publish a self-service wind sector or limit. Historical imported headings are not presented as current operating authority.
Safety notes
  • This is a high-alpine launch above 10,000 feet where wind, clouds, temperature, and density altitude can change quickly; the operator makes the launch decision.
  • Terrain, rotor, lee-side flow, overdevelopment, and limited outs make this unsuitable for unsupervised discovery from a map pin.
  • The approved valley LZ is operator controlled and lies on a private parcel; landing access is not conveyed outside the booked operation.
  • Emergency helicopter coordination is part of the county-approved operation; comply immediately with any hold or diversion instruction.
Additional notes
Retained only as a current commercial tandem launch. The older automated record correctly captures the continuing recreational-solo closure, while the resort's official 2026 page independently confirms an active operator-controlled tandem program. No PPG use is established.
