The Hostel X - One of Skiing’s Holiest Shrines
The Center of the Universe.
After riding the tram back down to the base, the boys and I took a little walk round Teton Village. Even in the relatively short 15 years that I have been visiting the ski area, I have noticed many changes. Mostly none for the better. Where there were very few buildings in the village back in 1993, the development has accelerated at a sickening rate. I was just about to come to terms with most of it until I noticed something very horrid. There was one of those disgusting fancy-schmancy big hotels blocking the view of the mountain from the Hostel X - Jackson’s most hallowed institution!
I was livid.
Immediately, I charged into my beloved Hostel and asked the clerk “when did they put up that stupid hotel blocking our view?!?! The kid at the desk explained that it went just the past year but assured me that the Hostel was not going anywhere.
That made me feel a little bit better.
But it also enraged me thinking of how it felt, getting up in the morning, and walking out to the balcony in our long underwear, staring at the mountain while listening to the low booms of the avalanche guns. You look through the steam of your breath, the whole day ahead of you on the greatest mountain on the continent. Now, you’ll just stare at some rich dweebs putting on their one-pieces through their windows.
Not that I’m bitter or anything.
But the Hostel is the soul center of the North American ski community. Built in the 60s, it’s where Benny Wilson, founder of the legendary Jackson Hole Air Force, grew-up. Originally, i was caled the Hostel X because each room would cost $10. It’s not much more today.
When I first stayed there in 1993, the ad in the Jackson Hole lodgin guide bragged about “sparkling white sheets and enormous quantities of hot water!” What else do you need? Well being withing a shot walk of the tram dock doesn’t hurt - and a very soulful group area downstairs with big couches to watch classic ski films (on a FILM PROJECTOR!!!) ping pong,ski waxing area, pool table, tons of board games - it’s skitopia!!! It’s where in 2000, after telling Smooth Rider we would be in Jackson in a week, we pulled-in after a week in Montana only to find his truck in the lot and my Giants Ridge buddy relaxing on the couch! No if that doesn’t make it a magic place, I don’t know what does!
At any rate, after whining about the stupid hotel in the way with the staff, I took the boysfor a tour - showing them a place where we would rest our weary bones after epic days to come…
