JHMR – Jackson Hole Sports
Book Now
Jackson Hole Sports (JH Sports) is the official gear shop at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village, providing ski and snowboard rentals and tuning in winter, bike rentals and gear in summer, plus retail across both seasons. The right fit is travelers staying at Teton Village who want gear delivered or picked up at the base, plus skiers and bikers wanting same-day tuning. The wrong fit is travelers based in Jackson; in-town shops can be a friendlier price point and equally capable.
Highlights – Ski & Snowboard Rentals at Jackson Hole Sports
A full-service mountain shop at the base of the Bridger Gondola. Winter operations: ski and snowboard rentals (demo and standard), boot fitting, helmet rentals, daily tuning, and retail apparel and hardgoods. Summer operations: mountain bike rentals (cross-country and downhill), helmet and protective gear, biking apparel, and adjacent gear for hiking and casual outdoor use. Year-round retail with seasonal inventory shifts. Online reservation for rentals saves time at peak.
Why people use it
Three reasons. First, location. Walk to the gondola from the shop with rented gear; first-tracks mornings work without driving anywhere. Second, demo programs. JH Sports runs a strong demo program for skiers wanting to try high-end skis before buying; this is harder to find at smaller shops. Third, same-day tuning. Drop skis at end-of-day, pick up next morning ready to ride; this matters more after powder days when bases need fresh wax.
How to plan a rental
Reserve online ahead of arrival; peak winter weeks (Christmas, President's Day) sell out the higher-end gear. Arrive with footbed history and ski preferences if you're particular; demo conversations work better with that data. For boot fitting, book separate from rental pickup; fittings take longer and benefit from a dedicated session. Bring socks you actually ski in (not random hotel socks); fit changes with sock thickness.
What to plan around
Two honest tradeoffs. First, peak-time rental pickup runs slow; arrive 30+ minutes before you want to ski on opening morning. Second, Teton Village pricing on rentals runs higher than equivalent Jackson-town shops; the convenience premium is real.
Local tip
For multi-day skiers, ask about multi-day demo packages; switching skis day-by-day across the trip lets you find the right pair before committing to a buy. JH Sports's demo wall is broader than most resort shops, and the staff actually knows the snow and terrain you'll ride. For boots, schedule a fitting with one of the experienced bootfitters during a slower weekday morning rather than peak weekend.
Final take
For ski and snowboard rentals, tuning, and bike rentals at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, JH Sports is the convenience-and-quality call when you're staying in Teton Village. Reserve online, plan around peak times, and use the demo program if you're a serious skier.
