Snow King overlooks Jackson and the surrounding Tetons – with a web cam capturing the view – and connects the town to more than 3.4 million acres of Bridger-Teton National Forest via a system of trails and chairlifts that extends throughout the resort’s “backyard.” Snow King Holdings controls a commanding assemblage of assets including water rights and even the town’s cell tower in one comprehensive enterprise.

“In addition to being the largest private employer in town, we have a large percentage of the development rights in the county and are the largest privately owned lodging enterprise in the state,” says Lopez. “Whoever buys this asset will have a huge influence in the future of Jackson Hole, and by extension, of Wyoming,” he adds.
