Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole Opens Today
Year-Round Mountain Resort Represents Another First for Four Seasons 


TORONTO, Dec. 18  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts
opens its first mountain resort today at the base of the Jackson Hole Mountain
Resort in Teton Village, just in time to take advantage of this season's
record-setting, early snowfall and the best powder conditions in nearly a
decade. Surrounded by unspoiled wilderness, the 124-room retreat, which includes
17 private residences and 40 Residence Club units, benefits from a prime,
slope-side location, close to Teton and Yellowstone National Parks -- perfect
for exploring the great outdoors.

"This is an exciting new venture for Four Seasons," said Wolf Hengst, president,
worldwide hotel operations, Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts. "We welcome the
opportunity to provide our brand of warm and friendly service in a mountain
setting for the first time, creating a new luxury experience for everyone, from
family groups and sports enthusiasts to corporate travelers and meeting
participants."

Sloped gently into the mountainside, the Resort looks out at the Sleeping Indian
and Rendezvous Mountains, the Snake River basin and the wildflower meadows of
the valley. Each of the 106 guest rooms and 18 suites leads out to a private
balcony or terrace, while the lodge-style interiors are invitingly cozy, with
fireplaces, leather headboards and Native American rugs. Touches of the American
West can also be found in the Resort's three restaurants, both in decor and
cuisine.

At the foot of the longest continuous vertical of any ski area in the U.S., Four
Seasons Resort Jackson Hole offers ski-in/ski-out access to lifts and an aerial
tram. The Resort's Ski Concierge -- the first of its kind in the area -- will
arrange lift tickets, lessons, rentals and special services, including in-room
boot fittings. In the warmer months, guests can consult the Base Camp Concierge
for help with planning and preparing outdoor adventures that range from hiking
to fly fishing.

The Resort offers a full-service spa, complete with Tranquility Lounge, fully
heated outdoor pool and whirlpools, and a fitness centre. Supervised activities
are available for children aged six months to 17 years. The property's function
and banquet space totals 743 square metres (8,000 square feet); features include
fireplaces and an outdoor terrace opening onto a function lawn.

To experience all that Four Seasons Resort Jackson Hole has to offer, the Resort
is offering a complimentary fifth night, when booking a four-night stay. This
special opening package is valid from January 4, 2004 through April 4, 2004.
