Overall
Welcome to the Wild West of the ski world! Mountain resorts don’t get much more badass than Jackson Hole, home to the infamous Corbet’s Couloir, along with more chutes, cliffs, moguls, and steeps than you could shake a stick at. The terrifying terrain here goes hand-in-hand with the resort’s burly atmosphere, it’s a corner of Wyoming where the soul of the old west is alive and well! Totaling up an impressive 4,139 ft of vertical drop, Jackson Hole has the longest continuous vertical of any ski resort in the US, with many slopes consistently following the fall line.
Best month to go
January and February
If you’re the kind of skier that digs deep snow and stormy days then the best time to go is just before Christmas, or hold on for February and early March, though be prepared to layer up. Keep an eye on the weather charts, because if you see a storm tracking southeast from Canada or the Pacific Northwest it’s a sure bet that Jackson Hole will get walloped with fresh white stuff. For those of you who aren’t huge fans of the bitter cold, it might be worth holding off on your Jackson Hole ski vacation until March properly kicks in. By the middle of this springtime month it’s reliably warmer and bluebird days are much more common. The snow season usually wraps up after the first week of April, and you can expect the resort to open by the end of November.

For beginners
You won't find a ton of beginner terrain at Jackson Hole, however, there's a handful of wide green slopes that's perfect for practicing! On the Apres Vous side of the mountain check out the area above the Bridger Center or take on some quiet beginner slopes like Lower Teewinot and around Solitude Mid-Station.
More beginners tipsFor intermediates
There are a range of intermediate trails, though be warned they're generally steeper than other resorts! Werner, Moran, and Upper Teewinot are all quieter slopes and have a decent gradient to speed through! Best part is, this area is great for trying out tree skiing and jumping back onto the groomers if you need to!
More intermediates tipsFor experts
Hardcore skiers are in for a real treat at Jackson Hole. Hike along the Headwall to the Caspar Bowl gates and try one of the Shots, for a true backcountry experience (but still inbounds)! The powder-filled Hobacks are another spot not to be missed!
More experts tipsFind freshies
For some of the world's best inbounds powder skiing, the Hobacks is where it's at. The powder here is deep, but be sure to get here early before the sun turns it into sludge!
Ditch the crowds
Avoid the Amphitheater blue run, it's a designated slow zone and a real bottleneck that sees skiers of all levels.
Non skiers
Non-skiers can still have fun in Jackson Hole with the activities available like dog sledding, winter wildlife safaris, art galleries and more to keep them occupied.
Families
While the slopes at Jackson Hole might deter beginners, the resort actually has a great kids ski school program. Off-slopes there are tons of activities and attractions to enjoy including a wildlife safari through the Grand Teton National Park. The town of Jackson also has budget-friendly accommodation than Teton Village.

The best all around mountain in north America! When the pow is fresh there is no better place to be. Around every corner there is always something to get your heart rate pumping, could be tree runs, drop offs, natural hips and of course leg burning runs from top of the tram. Wish I could live there year round. ... Moreadvanced snowboarder

Great and beautiful place, unfortunately hard to get there because of the high prices of airlines. However a visit at Grand Targhee is a must. Great snow conditions with lots of powder days. Expensive. ... Moreadvanced skier

I can't say anything about Jackson that the ski/ride community hasn't known for decades and is even better known since winning a bunch of awards. Like glades, a ton of snow, well maintained EVERYTHING, and the ability to make your booty hole pucker? Go to Jackson. Just expect some crowds from time to time. Used to not be that way, but congrats to... Moreexpert snowboarder

Jackson hole is by far the best resort in the United States. The terrain is so steep, yet gets so much powder. I always feel so challenged every time I come to Jackson, which is what drives me to come back more and more. No resort comes to Jackson Hole!!... Moreexpert snowboarder
