Theres the history of Jackson Hole ski resort, and then, theres the history of the mountain itself. The former is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. The latter is the subject of Jackson Holes new film Layers of Time, which explores the geologic history told by the layers of the rock, and how its tied to the resorts modern identity and story.

　　Jackson Hole opened its slopes in 1965. Sixty years later, its now an icon of Western skiing and a truly world-class ski resort. Its history is rich and packed with wild stories from the accidental first descent of Corbets Couloir to the birth of Teton Gravity Research (TGR). But all of that has been built on millions of years of geologic history that literally sculpted the mountain for future skiers and riders.

　　The film Layers of Time ties these two histories together. It delves into the rock of the mountain, into the geologic layers that tell the prehistoric story of oceans, deserts, floods, and droughts. Its an ode to the mountain that has created so many memories, and a celebration of the tectonic forces that formed one of the worlds best ski mountains.
