    The Aerial Tram at Jackson HoleSkiing & Winter SportsAnchor

    Twelve minutes and 4,139 vertical feet — the biggest continuous rise of any lift in the country — to the top of Rendezvous Mountain, with the Tetons across the valley at eye level. Look over the edge at Corbet's Couloir, a twenty-foot drop into a chute that is the most famous single turn in American skiing, and understand why people move here and never leave. There are waffles at the top, and they are not incidental: Corbet's Cabin has been selling them to everyone who rides up since long before the tram was rebuilt.

    Bring: a warm layer — it is 10,450 feet at the top
