Jackson Hole's February Powder Dream: 132 Inches and Counting
Published 2 months, 2 weeks ago
Description
Ski Report for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming
Daily Ski Conditions for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming
Jackson Hole is absolutely firing right now, and if you've been dreaming about deep powder and endless face shots, this is your moment to make it happen. The mountain is delivering exactly what ski and snowboard dreams are made of, with February already dropping a jaw-dropping 132 inches of fresh snow. We're talking over 11 feet of the white stuff, and the season total has already climbed to a massive 350 inches and counting. This isn't just good—this is legendary territory.
Currently, the summit is sitting at 211 centimeters (about 83 inches) of base depth, while the base area has a respectable 33 centimeters. The last significant snowfall came in on February 12th, and conditions are holding strong with old snow packed down nicely, ready to accept whatever the sky throws next. All 13 lifts are wide open, and an impressive 110 out of 116 kilometers of slopes (that's 95 percent of the mountain) are available for your shredding pleasure.
The real magic happens when you look ahead at what's coming. Tonight into tomorrow, expect 2 to 3 centimeters of fresh snow to fall, with the snow line dropping right to resort level. Temperatures will dip well below freezing, creating those prime conditions where every turn feels like you're floating. Thursday brings another 1 centimeter of snow with highs around negative 6 degrees Celsius, and Friday looks like the cold snap continues with lows potentially hitting negative 14 degrees at elevation. By the weekend, the mountains will see some wind but the cold pocket continues, making for firm, fast snow if you're into that type of ride.
The overall weather pattern through the week shows mostly cloudy skies with continued snow chances, particularly in the mornings. Winds will pick up periodically, reaching gusts of around 20 miles per hour, so secure that powder hound jacket and goggles. The snowpack is phenomenal at higher elevations, with the Rendezvous Bowl plotting at about 90 percent of average despite the dry spell earlier in January. Lower elevations had it rough, with base area depths hitting record lows earlier this month, but February has absolutely erased those concerns.
All the right ingredients are here: deep snow, cold temperatures, open terrain, and more snow in the forecast. The stoke levels are genuinely off the charts, and whether you're hammering the groomers, exploring the trees, or testing yourself on the steeps and chutes, Jackson Hole is delivering an absolutely stellar window. This is the time when locals stop making excuses and commit to the mountain. Get there, get after it, and enjoy what might be one of the best powder months the Tetons have seen in recent memory.
