A 694-acre boundary expansion has been authorised that allows the US resort in Wyoming to have new skiable terrain into Teton Canyon.

It will also construct a new restaurant on the summit of Fred’s Mountain.

The final plan is smaller than the 866 acres originally requested by the resort.

Forest Service officials pared down the final boundaries to safeguard local ecology and resolve key issues brought forward by community members and cooperating government agencies.

The approved land package breaks down into two distinct development zones:

Mono Trees Area: 459 acres designated for development southwest of the current base.
South Bowl Area: 235 acres granted within the scenic Teton Canyon corridor.

The expansion aligns with current federal directives to upgrade public recreation infrastructure and stimulate mountain economies.

Forest officials noted that the evaluation was heavily guided by national mandates to drive economic growth through outdoor recreation, balanced against local scientific assessments regarding botany, migratory birds, and soil stability.

The resort was voted the best overall ski resort in the world by Snowmad last year.
