Jackson Hole's Teton Trickle: From Parched January to February Snorkel Season Glory
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 chasers, Jackson Hole is shaking off a parched January like a Teton grizzly waking from hibernation—mid-mountain's sitting at a lean 46 inches (67% of average), base scraping just 8 inches (record low), but summit snowpack holds strong at 69-72 inches up high, Rendezvous Bowl at 90% of normal thanks to December's heavy dumps. Recent early February storms flipped the script with a sneaky "Teton Trickle"—steady light snows totaling around 3.5 feet last week, transforming rocky lower runs into smooth, jet-dry bliss that begs for your fattest skis or board.
Right now, expect light snow showers with temps hovering 14-28°F at base, colder aloft, winds light from the south—perfect for groomer carving or dipping into fresh tracks before crowds hit. All 13 lifts are spinning (including the mighty Aerial Tram till 3:30pm), 88% of terrain open (114/130 trails), so from Hobacks to Lower Faces, vertical's wide open for that classic 4,139-foot plunge.
Pistes are firming up nicely with recent touch-ups, off-piste vaporizing into hero snow in shaded chutes—watch for wind slabs though, as avy forecasts stay key. Season total's pushing 217 inches summit, 149 mid-mountain (103% average), with February already stacking 132 inches in some spots, turning this into snorkel season.
Freshie alert: 2 inches today, 3 more in 48 hours, light totals next 7 days. Upcoming forecast? Snow/rain mix tonight (1-2 inches possible), highs near 40°F dropping to 28°F lows, then 50% snow chance Thursday (high 42°F), cooling to 38°F partly sunny Friday, lingering flurries weekend into next week—temps easing to low 40s base, but Tetons keep it real with sub-freezing peaks. A stubborn ridge is cracking, ushering seasonal storms; La Niña vibes promise more precip ahead.
Pro tip: Rocks lurk low—ski smart, hit upper mountain for depth. Stilson paved parking's free and open, but bundle up for rapid weather shifts. Drop in now, this beast is roaring back to life!
