Jackson Hole's February Dump: 11 Feet of Powder Paradise with Rock Dodging Below
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 dishing out epic Tetons turns right now, but with a quirky base that's got locals scheming low-angle laps to save their edges. Snow depths clock in at a skinny **8 inches** at the base—yep, rock-dodging season down low—but summit snowpack hits around **72 inches** at high elevations, holding at 90-103% of average up top thanks to December dumps and that sneaky early-year trickle. Mid-mountain's at **46-149 inches** (67-103% average), so stick to groomers and upper chutes where the goods hide.
Freshie alert: Zero new snow in the last 24-48 hours after a parched late January (just 51 inches total there, driest since 2013), but season totals are crushing it at **350 inches** summit-wide—11 feet just this February alone, with recent storm cycles stacking 6+ feet in a week! All **13 lifts** are spinning full tilt (including the Tram till 3:30pm), and **88% of terrain** (114/130 trails) is open, from buttery Hobacks to cliff-hucking Corbet's—perfect for sending it post-Kings & Queens comp vibes.
Weather's playing nice today with cloudy skies, temps hovering **34-38°F** at base (cooler 20s-26°F summit), light winds, and no precip yet—prime for carving without frostbite. Looking ahead, expect continued mild and mostly dry through Feb 8 (max 44°F), then light snow pops: 1 inch Mon (39°F), another Wed/Thu (35°F, down to 16°F overnight), totaling ~3 inches next 7 days. Valley chills to 13-30°F lows, but stronger sun means slushy afternoons—hit it early!
Pistes are groomed gold up high, packing that dense Teton snow into floaty heaven, while off-piste stashes linger in cold pockets despite wind crust risks—avalanche awareness is key after those big February loads. Lower elevation woes mean exposed rocks below mid-mountain, so boot up for hikes or lap the aerials. Pro tip: Locals are buzzing about Steep & Deep Camp (Feb 25-28) and banked slaloms—grab tix before spring break crowds. Stoke's sky-high; gear up, breathe deep, and dive into the white room—JH's calling your name!
