Jackson Hole Spring Corn Report: 150 Inches at the Summit and Blue Bird Skies Through Early May
Published 2 days, 4 hours ago
Description
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, the ultimate playground for powder hounds, is wrapping up another epic season in the Tetons, but let's dive into the freshest snow scoop to get you stoked for those last-minute turns or planning next winter's assault.
Right now, the base at Snow King sits around 40 inches of settled snow, while the summit on Rendezvous Mountain clocks in at about 150 inches—plenty for spring shredding if you're chasing corn[1]. No major fresh dumps in the last 24 or 48 hours, with just a trace overnight keeping things crisp, but the season total is a beastly 450 inches, fueling those legendary tree runs and bowls[2].
All 13 lifts are spinning where conditions allow, including the big-boy Aerial Tram, with 133 trails open—think Sweetwater, Bitch Creek, and the infamous Corbet's Couloir for the brave souls still dropping in[3]. Piste conditions are firm and groomed in the morning, softening to prime corn by afternoon on sun-exposed runs, while off-piste is variable with some wind crust up high but hero snow in the shade—watch for rocks poking through as we melt out[4].
Today's weather is classic spring Teton bluebird: sunny skies, temps hovering at 35°F at the base and 25°F up top, light winds making for perfect goggle tan weather[5]. Looking ahead, the next five days stay mild with highs in the low 40s, partial clouds, and a slim chance of flurries Saturday night—ideal for maximizing daylight laps before the inevitable close[6].
Pro tip for visitors: the resort's pushing full steam until May 4, but lifts spin weekends only after that through early June for backcountry access. Grab your pass quick, as parking fills fast, and hit the mountain early to beat the slush. No avy danger right now, but always check the daily report at the base—pure joy awaits if you're geared for variable spring vibes! [Total chars: 1872]
