Jackson Hole's January Powder Paradise: 217 Inches of Glory and Clear Skies
Published 3 months, 1 week ago
Description
Ski Report for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming
Daily Ski Conditions for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming
Powder hounds, grab your fattest skis—Jackson Hole is firing on all cylinders right now, turning the Tetons into a shredder's paradise after a sneaky storm cycle dumped nearly four feet of snow to kick off 2026. Summit snow depth sits at a burly 217 inches, mid-mountain at 149 inches (103% of average), with the base holding strong for those sweet vertical laps. Season total? Over 200 inches and climbing fast, thanks to consistent refills like 3.5 feet in the last week alone, including 7-9 inch days that filled in every chute and glade.
Nearly all terrain is open—88% of 114 out of 130 trails, and every one of the 13 lifts spinning, from Big Red Aerial Tram (9am-3:30pm) to the Bridger Gondola (9am-4pm). Pistes are smooth and packed with that jet-dry top layer from recent cold snaps, perfect for carving groomers or charging Hobacks and Lower Faces now back in play. Off-piste? Variable but prime in shaded stashes—cold temps preserve the pow, though watch for wind crust in exposed spots; locals say bold lines through glades are rewarding the brave.
Today's vibe: Crisp and clear under partly cloudy skies, highs around 17-25°F at base (colder up top near 0°F), light west winds 5-15mph—ideal for face shots without the crowds. Forecast stays skier-friendly: mostly clear/partly cloudy next five days, temps climbing to 28-34°F base highs with mins 4-14°F, snow line low but very light new flakes possible early week before stable cold locks it in. No big dumps imminent, but that preserves the freshies.
Pro tip: Capacity managed daily for epic experiences, IKON Pass holders reserve ahead, and score 50% off lift tix with any 25/26 season pass (valid now thru Jan 31). Lifts crank Saturdays/Sundays from 8:30am on key ones—get after it before the Kings & Queens of Corbet’s heats up next month. Teton Village buzzes with hot tubs and après; this is peak January pow season, so point 'em and send!
