“If you came to Wyoming to ski, not to lie in the lap of luxury, get yourself a room at The Hostel and hit the slopes. Called “the soul of Jackson Hole,” it’s a great bargain for those who don’t need the trimmings. And it’s not a dormitory, either — comfortable but simple private rooms (about the caliber of a roadside motel) hold up to four people; they have either one king bed or four twins. There’s also a good place to prep your skis, a library, and a common room with chessboards, a Ping-Pong table, a fireplace, a refrigerator, Internet access, and a couple of TVs. You can walk to the Mangy Moose and other fun spots, and nobody will be able to tell you apart from the skiers staying at the Four Seasons.”
