 Ski Report for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming

Daily Ski Conditions for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is absolutely firing right now, and if you haven't already booked your trip, you're seriously missing out on one of the most epic snow cycles the mountain has seen in years. February has been an absolute monster, dumping a jaw-dropping 132 inches—that's 11 feet of fresh snow in a single month. Just last week, the mountain received over six feet of snow in just seven days, with a peak of two feet falling in a single 24-hour period. The season total sits at an incredible 350 inches and counting, which means conditions are about as good as they get in the Tetons.

Right now at the summit, you're looking at 217 inches of base, while the mid-mountain sits at a solid 149 inches. The snowpack is running at 103 percent of average, which translates to near-record-deep upper mountain bases and access to over 4,000 feet of high-grade vertical. At the base, conditions are stable after that recent snow cycle, giving you smooth fields and well-formed features across the mountain.

The resort is running all 13 lifts, with 88 percent of terrain open—that's 114 out of 130 trails ready to shred. The Aerial Tram, which accesses some of Jackson's most legendary terrain, is running from 9am to 3:30pm daily, and most other lifts are spinning from 9am to 4pm. If you're planning a weekend session, keep in mind that Apres Vous, Teewinot, and Sweetwater Gondola open at 8:30am on Saturdays and Sundays.

Current conditions have settled into a mostly sunny stretch after that intense storm cycle, with high temperatures around 42 degrees and lows dipping to around 15 degrees. While skies are clearing for the next couple of days, fresh snow is already on the horizon. Expect about five inches of new snow arriving around February 24th, with another two inches potentially following shortly after. Over the next seven days, you're looking at roughly seven inches of additional accumulation, which means the pow-chasing season is far from over.

On-piste conditions are exceptional right now, with that recent powder base providing excellent skiing on groomed runs. Off-piste terrain is equally impressive, though wind and sun exposure have started working on some exposed aspects. The Lower Faces and Hobacks, which had been off-limits earlier in the season due to limited valley snow, are now fully open and offering some serious vertical for adventurous skiers and snowboarders.

For those nervous about crowds or looking to maximize their time on the mountain, the Early Tram Experience allows you to skip the lines and get first access to the mountain before the masses arrive. And if you've been sitting on the fence about visiting, remember that the resort is celebrating its 60th anniversary this season with special promotions, including 50 percent off lift tickets for anyone holding a valid season pass from any North American resort.

With this much snow already on the ground and more on the way, Jackson Hole is firmly in the pocket. Whether you're hunting untracked powder or carving up groomers, the conditions are stellar. Mother Nature has rolled out the white carpet—the question is whether you're ready to accept the invitation.
