About Teton Mountaineering
Teton Mountaineering has been Jackson Hole's premier backcountry outfitter since 1971, operating from its longtime home on North Cache Street just one block from Town Square. For over fifty years the shop has served as the valley's authority on alpine touring, telemark, and splitboard equipment, attracting serious backcountry skiers and mountaineers from across the American West. The knowledgeable staff live and ride in the Tetons year-round, bringing first-hand experience to every gear recommendation.
The shop's winter rental fleet is purpose-built for backcountry pursuits, including alpine touring packages, splitboard setups with boots, cross-country touring kits, and snowshoe packages. Their full-service tune shop handles new ski prep, edge sharpening, stone grinds, hot waxing, DPS Phantom base treatment, and binding mounting for touring, telemark, AT, and randonee race setups. Skin trimming and thermo liner moulding round out the technical services, ensuring every piece of gear is dialled for the steep terrain and deep snow the Tetons are famous for.
What distinguishes Teton Mountaineering from the valley's resort-oriented shops is its singular focus on self-propelled mountain travel. The staff don't just sell backcountry gear — they use it daily in Teton Pass, the Snake River Range, and the Grand Teton itself. Rentals are first-come, first-served with no reservations required, keeping the vibe casual and accessible. For anyone planning a backcountry ski mission in Jackson Hole, Teton Mountaineering is the essential first stop.
