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 thinking about making the pilgrimage to Teton Village, this is your moment. The mountain is serving up world-class conditions with all 13 lifts spinning and 88 percent of the terrain open—that's 114 out of 130 named trails ready for your skis or board. You're looking at everything from gentle cruisers to the gnarliest expert terrain, with a perfectly balanced mix of 40 percent intermediate and 50 percent expert runs.
The base is sitting at a seriously healthy 317 inches at mid-mountain, while the summit is absolutely stacked at 327 inches. That's the kind of depth that makes spring skiing feel more like mid-winter pow sessions. The season total has reached an impressive 350-plus inches, with February alone dumping a jaw-dropping 132 inches. When you add in the consistent trickle pattern that started in early January, you're looking at a snowpack that's transformed the mountain into a perfectly sculpted playground.
Recent snow activity has been relatively quiet this week, with minimal fresh accumulation reported in the last 48 hours, but don't let that fool you into thinking the mountain is tracked out. The base is so deep that skiers everywhere are still finding untracked lines in the trees and off-piste zones. The Lower Faces and Hobacks, which were previously off-limits due to thin coverage earlier in the season, are now fully accessible and incredibly fun.
Weather-wise, you're in that classic spring pattern where mornings are crisp and afternoons warm up considerably. Expect highs around 60 to 63 degrees Fahrenheit at the base with overnight lows dropping into the mid-30s to low 40s. At elevation, temperatures are significantly cooler, hovering around 24 degrees at 10,466 feet. This freeze-thaw cycle is actually perfect—firm corduroy in the morning transitions to soft spring conditions by afternoon, giving you multiple skiing experiences in a single day.
The five-day forecast shows increasingly pleasant conditions with mostly dry skies and warming temperatures. Light winds out of the southwest are expected, which keeps visibility excellent and helps preserve whatever fresh snow might fall. While there's no significant snow in the immediate forecast, the mountains around Jackson Hole are known for surprise storms, so keep an eye on conditions.
Lift operations run from 9 am to 4 pm on most lifts, with the legendary Aerial Tram ("Big Red") opening at 9 am and closing at 3:30 pm. If you're planning a weekend visit, Après Vous, Teewinot, and Sweetwater open early at 8:30 am on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays—perfect for catching first tracks. The Bridger Gondola is also operating, giving you excellent access to prime terrain.
On-piste conditions are fantastic with perfectly groomed runs offering that satisfying carving experience. Off-piste conditions remain excellent thanks to the massive base and consistent coverage. The combination of recent cold temperatures and the depth of snow means powder and protected stashes are still waiting for adventurous skiers willing to explore beyond the groomed runs. The mountain's exposure to wind means some wind-loaded aspects have developed a crust, but the shaded north-facing slopes still have some silky conditions lurking in the trees.
With a 4,139-foot vertical drop and 2,500 acres of in-bounds terrain, Jackson Hole truly offers something for everyone. Whether you're hunting powder in the backcountry access zones, ripping groomers on the front side, or exploring the varied terrain parks, the conditions are speaking for themselves. Book your tickets in advance to secure your spot—daily capacity is limited—and get ready for some genuinely incredible spring skiing.
