Hotel Terra Jackson Hole – Teton Village, Wyoming, USA

©

Wyoming may be the size of Romania but it’s one of the most sparsely populated of all US states which means that here it is nature, not man, who is king. Fans of extreme skiing will already be familiar with pro skier Rob DesLauriers’ films set on the powder snow slopes of Wyoming and also about his significant ecological conscience. His 5-Star Teton Village complex – which is a mere hour’s drive from Yellowstone National Park - aims to integrate with the nature surrounding it and this goal has been achieved through careful selection of everything from the construction materials right down to the mattresses and towels. However, despite its respect for nature the hotel is of course kitted out with the best in technical gadgetry from iPod docking stations to plasma TV sets to touch screen telephones. The complex features a café, restaurant and a gorgeous rooftop spa area as well as around 1000 hectares of private land. Of course, winter sports play a large role on the agenda and with Rob DesLauriers in charge you can be sure of a wealth of cool new extreme variations on traditional skiing such as Nordic skiing, heli-skiing and snow kite skiing.
