Jackson Hole's Thin Base and Upper Mountain Gold: Chasing Snow Before Monday's Storm
Published 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
Ski Report for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming
Daily Ski Conditions for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming
Hey powder hounds, Jackson Hole is hanging tough through a quirky winter, but the base is thin down low while the upper mountain delivers that Teton thrill. Right now, the base sits at a skimpy 8 inches—record lows for early February since '75—while higher elevations rock 69-72 inches between 8,800-9,500 feet, and the Rendezvous Bowl plot at 9,500 feet hits 90% of average. Summit snowpack? Latest tallies show around 217 inches seasonal, mid-mountain 149 inches at 103% average, though January's dry spell kept things lean after an early burst.
No big dumps in the last 24-48 hours—it's been a warm, clear ride with spring-like vibes—but all 13 lifts are spinning strong, and terrain's wide open at 88% (114/130 trails). Pistes are variable: groomers firm from inversions and sun, off-piste wind-affected with crust potential, but cold snaps preserve stashes for savvy riders. Head high for the goods; lower stuff's bony, so watch for rocks.
Weather's balmy today—highs pushing 42-46°F at base, 30s up top under sunny skies, light SW winds. Valley's flirting with 50°F through Sunday, melting any low snow fast. But hold your breath: Monday's storm flips the script with 1-2 inches fresh, cooling to 30s, then cloudy 30s mid-week. Five-day outlook screams transition—warm pow-pouring weekend to active pattern, perfect for faceshots if it stacks.
Season total's solid at upper zones despite dry Jan (only early storms saved it), and Feb averages 70-76 inches here—could explode with the ridge breakdown. Locals say stick to upper lifts like Aerial Tram (9am-3:30pm) and Sublette for hero snow; base area's dicey for edges. No major notices, but inversions mean morning fog burning off—grab first chair, layer light, and chase the Teton Pass stoke. Incoming La Niña vibes hint at snowier days ahead; this hill's built for the bold!
