# Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Snow Report
If you're dreaming of powder days in the Tetons, here's the scoop on what's happening at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort right now.
Currently, you're looking at a base depth of 23 inches with 145 centimeters up at the summit. While that might not sound like a lot by Jackson Hole standards, the mountain is actively working with you. In the last 24 hours, 5 centimeters of fresh snow has blanketed the slopes, and conditions are fresh across the ski area. The resort is running 11 of 13 lifts, giving you access to 55 kilometers of the 116 total kilometers of pistes—that's about 47 percent of the terrain currently open.
The early season vibe is real, and the resort is being smart about managing conditions. You'll want to stick to marked terrain since early-season hazards are definitely a thing. The good news? The terrain that's open ranges from beginner-friendly blues to intermediate runs, so whether you're just getting your legs under you or looking to carve some groomers, there's something for you.
Now here's where it gets interesting for the next few days. More snow is coming—and seriously, this is what you've been waiting for. Today is bringing 12 centimeters of fresh powder, with breezy southwest winds kicking things up. Tomorrow looks lighter, but then Wednesday through the weekend, a major system is moving in with 5 to 9 centimeters of snow expected across multiple days. The summit could see up to 9 centimeters on Saturday alone, though temperatures will be mild initially before cooling down.
Speaking of temperatures, expect highs in the upper 30s to low 40s Fahrenheit today and tomorrow, cooling into the 30s later in the week. Nights are dropping into the teens to mid-20s. The wind will be a factor—southwest gusts are forecast, so the mountain might get a bit rough in exposed areas.
The season total? Jackson Hole has already accumulated 104 inches of snow, which shows the mountain has been working hard since opening on December 4th. The piste conditions are fresh and variable—you might find some soft powder where fresh snow has fallen, but some firmer patches are appearing where skiers have tracked out runs.
Off-piste is limited right now given the early season, so keep that in mind if you're an explorer. The mountain's backcountry terrain is absolutely not controlled or regularly patrolled in early season, so stick with what the resort has opened for your own safety.
Here's the real kicker: Jackson Hole is celebrating its 60th anniversary this season, which means deals and celebrations happening throughout winter. The resort is managing daily capacity again this year to enhance your experience, so if you're planning a visit, book your tickets in advance.
The bottom line? Early season conditions exist, but the mountain is getting better by the day with fresh snow in the forecast. Bundle up, ski smart, and get ready for some solid powder days ahead.
