Hotel Reservations Up in Jackson for New Year’s Eve

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — Hotel reservations in Jackson Hole for the weekend before New Year's are up over the last two years.

Media in Jackson reported Thursday that 69 percent of lodging in the valley is booked this Saturday. Last year at the same time, 56 percent of rooms were booked. In 2010, 49 percent were reserved.

The booking rate is also better than the weekend before Christmas, when hotels and vacation rentals were only 26 percent full.

Fresh powder could be drawing visitors. Parts of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort have gotten about 2 feet of snow this week.
