Jackson Hole Sports is located at the base of the mountain at Jackson Hole Ski Resort. One of the larger retail outlets, this shop boasts every JH trinket imaginable - stickers, patches, shot glasses, photo frames.... basically anything you can think of that announces you've set foot in Jackson Hole, WY. Along with the mandatory cheesy pink moose pj's, there is a nice variety of hats and t-shirts that sport the JH logo of a cowboy riding a bucking bronco. In addition to the "JH" wear, JHS also hosts a plethora of mid to high end retail that would have depleted my lifetime savings accounts if I were not supervised by my husband.
Separated brand by brand, JHS chose certain color coordinated jackets, ski/board pants, matchy matchy base layers, mid layers, hats and all sorts of related accessories and attractively merchandised the store to the point where you feel sucked in, and can not leave until you've at least had a look. Everything from Patagonia, Marmot, SnowAngel, Mountain Hardware, Roxy and Smartwool, to the uber expensive brands like Hell is for Heroes, as well as a few other brands I am unfamiliar with. And now that I've become acquainted with these new brands, I might just have to make some more room in the closet...
If you can make it past the retail clothing, you will enter a large room with fantastic fuzzy outdoor boots positioned next to the ski and snowboard equipment, helmets, goggles, gloves, and anything else you can imagine you'd need to brave the elements on a bluebird sky or heavy powder day. And the colors. The designs. Who really needs a 401K?
This is where my husband attempts his rope throwing skills and tows me out of here before I can even say the words, "I need....."
