Jackson Hole is on nearly every skier’s and snowboarder’s bucket list — and for good reason. If you’re planning a trip here, you already know the mountain is legendary. What you might not know is how to make the most of it: the best times to come, how to avoid the worst lines, and where to stay so you can enjoy the adventure.

Here’s our take on planning a Jackson Hole ski trip that feels easy, exciting, and unforgettable.

The Best Times to Ski Jackson Hole

Snowfall in the mountains above Jackson Hole averages around 450 inches a year, so you’re likely to have great snow no matter when you visit. Still, each part of the season has its own rhythm:

• Early Season (Late November to Mid-December): Quieter slopes, better rates, and a relaxed start to the season — a great time if you’re looking for deals on Jackson Hole ski resort hotels or alternative stays. Visiting from another mountain? During this time, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s Golden Ticket promotion offers 50% off lift tickets for skiers and snowboarders who hold a season pass at another resort.
  

• Peak Powder Season (Mid-January to early March): Peak snow, peak energy. This is when Jackson Hole really shines — just be sure to book early, as the best hotels in Jackson Hole for skiing often fill up fast.
  

• Spring Skiing (Mid-March–April): Longer days, sunnier skies, and a more laid‑back pace. Perfect if you like mixing ski days with exploring the town. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort’s Golden Ticket is available again during these months.

Tips for Beating the Crowds

We all know the tram lines can get long on a powder day. Here are a few ways to make the most of your time:

• Start on Aprés Vous lifts — they open early and give you great warm-up runs while the tram packs in.
  
  
• Book a private lesson with First Tracks access — your chance to ski pristine runs before the lifts open to the public.

• ‍Consider a local backcountry guide — they know the hidden stashes and how to have a safe adventure in the backcountry.
