Jackson Hole is a winter-lover’s paradise. Any visitor will find more to do here than they can possibly fit into a single trip. Here are 10 of our favorite winter activities to get a running start of your vacation.
1. SKI JACKSON HOLE MOUNTAIN RESORT
There’s a reason Jackson Hole is frequently listed as one of the world’s top ski resorts. With terrain ranging from experts-only Corbet's Couloir to family-friendly groomers, every skier or snowboarder can find a spot on the slopes. Take a ski lesson, ride the terrain parks, or hire a backcountry guide for a day to explore this legendary terrain.
2. RIDE THE TRAM
You don’t have to be a skier to ride the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Aerial Tram. Get a sightseeing ticket and ride up for spectacular views and to indulge in a Nutella-slathered waffle up top at Corbet’s Cabin.
3. WARM UP AT A SPA
Get toasty warm and pamper yourself after a day outside carving the slopes or taking in the scenery. Teton Village has an abundance of luxurious spas and a number also dot the town of Jackson.
4. TAKE AN ELK REFUGE SLEIGH RIDE
Sign up for a sleigh ride tour at the National Elk Refuge. Dress warmly and enjoy a ride out to see the elk and a chance to see other wildlife up close.
5. VISIT GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK
Take a drive up to Grand Teton National Park and keep an eye out for wildlife. Look for moose, bison, wolves, elk, and other critters, or go cross-country skiing or snowshoeing.
6. HAVE AN EXTREME ADVENTURE
Adrenaline seekers will find plenty of good times by signing up for a winter ski mountaineering or ice climbing trip with a number of local
guiding companies.
7. EXPLORE SNOW KING
Ski down the slopes, ride the terrain park, try the Cowboy Coaster, or take a ride on a snow tube at Snow King Mountain, which offers a plethora of outdoor activities.
8. WATCH A MOOSE HOCKEY GAME
Cheer for the Moose hockey team as they take on challengers from all around the country at the Snow King Sports and Events Center.
