Sublime Mountain Ski Trip to Stunning Jackson Hole, Wyoming

If you’re looking for a ski destination that combines all the amenities of a world-class resort town with stunning landscapes and an authentic old-west mountain town vibe, Jackson Hole is it. 

Located beneath the Teton Mountain Range, surrounded by towering, snow-capped peaks, and the Grand Teton National Park, the gorgeous Jackson Hole valley is home to acres of national forest, miles of mountain trails, and several small communities—including the popular town of Jackson at its southern end. 

It’s an idyllic vacation spot year-round thanks to mild weather and near-endless opportunities for outdoor fun, but winter is when it really shines. The area boasts an average of over 400 inches of light-powder snow each year, and with three major ski resorts to choose from, you can easily spend days here skiing and snowboarding, fat-tire mountain biking, or just relaxing by the fire with a warm drink, enjoying the incredible scenery around you.

For this trip, you’ll have deluxe accommodations at one of the luxury hotels in Teton Village, located at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain. With spacious guestrooms, luxe bedding, upscale amenities, onsite dining, and incredible views, you’ll have everything you need for cozy nights in after exciting days outside.

During your stay, we’ve arranged for you to spend a full day on the mountain at the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Grab your skis or snowboard and take the lift to the top where you’ll find 133 trails across 2,500 acres of in-bound terrain, as well as an open backcountry gate system with access to more than 3,000 acres. If you’re new to the sport or feeling rusty, you can sign up for classes and workshops at the resort’s Mountain Sports School. You can also book a guided snow hike, ride the aerial tram up 4,139 vertical feet for 360-degree views of the valley below, and fuel up with warm, gourmet waffles at Corbet’s Cabin at the very top.

On another day of your trip, we’ve arranged for you to enjoy a half-day Winter Wildlife Safari photo tour of the National Elk Refuge and part of Grand Teton National Park. Led by a naturalist guide, this private, four-hour morning or afternoon excursion will take you along park roads and through protected valley landscapes to view bison, bighorn sheep, foxes, deer, and other wintering animals roaming freely in the wild. It’s an exciting way to take in area’s stunning beauty and get some amazing photos along the way.

In the evenings, relax with dinner and views at the fabulous Piste Mountain Bistro, dine on authentic Italian comfort food at Il Villaggio Osteria, or hit up any of the fun après-ski spots around town for cocktails, pub food, and nighttime entertainment, before heading back to your hotel for a comfortable night’s sleep.

And, when you’re not hitting the slopes, make time to stroll through Teton Village, sign up for any of the seasonal activities offered at your hotel, or head out for an afternoon exploring Jackson. Visit the National Museum of Wildlife Art to view an impressive display of artwork inspired by local wildlife as well as animal-centered art from around the world. Stroll through the elk antler arches at Jackson Town Square. Take a private sleigh-ride at the National Elk Refuge. Or balance your outdoor adventures with a little blissful pampering at your hotel’s luxurious onsite spa.
