It is basically impossible to resist the holiday cheer and festive vibe that surrounds winter vacations in Jackson Hole this time of year. There is always something going on and there are so many activities to do that center around the holidays, it’s tough to find enough time to fit them all in or choose which ones you just can’t miss. It doesn’t matter if you want to hit the slopes or enjoy other outdoor activities, if you want to check out the downtown lights and shops, if you want to get in on some good eats or the craft beer or wine scene, or if you just want to relax and cozy up by the fire—Jackson Hole is the ultimate holiday and winter destination!

Mountain fun anyone?

Let’s start with the obvious! Jackson Hole is a ski town at heart and ski and snowboard enthusiasts have the option of hitting not one, but three local mountains all within close proximity. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Snow King, and Grand Targhee play host to all skill levels and all lovers of outdoor fun! The King has a fun tubing park and a Cowboy Coaster if you and the family feel like giving your leg muscles a break but still having some outdoor fun. There’s also the option of backcountry ski touring, heli-skiing or snowmobile tours. If cold, crisp sunshine and endless stretches of pristine pow (aka powder) are calling to you, we’ve got you covered.

Something for the kids!

Kids will never be bored hanging out in the Hole! There are endless kid-friendly activities in and around the town. How about a horse-drawn sleigh ride with hot cocoa through where the elk winter at the National Elk Refuge? Or take a walk through the downtown core and watch the kids’ eyes light up with wonder at the magic of all the lighting displays. And you can ice skate on the town square. Watch Santa drop in on Christmas Eve at 4:30 pm at the base of the tram up at Jackson Hole Resort. Beginning December 7th, there’s a Holiday Art Bazaar at the Center for the Arts and 12 Days of Christmas activities at the Wort Hotel. And, a super fun family event is the musical dinner theatre at the Playhouse Theatre’s Saddle Rock Saloon. This year’s play is called Christmas Survival Kit and it’s guaranteed to make the entire family laugh it up and have a fantastic time together. 

Local foodie faves and spirited Spirits!

If fine wining and dining is up your alley, try the Snake River Grill (known for its fresh, chef-prepared, local favorites and wide selection of fine wines) or Bar Enoteca (which features a Mediterranean menu and a new, modern wine bar that’s definitely a local favorite). 

If you are into craft beer, head to one of the local breweries, Roadhouse Brewing Co. Pub & Brewery and Snake River Brewing. With over 30 beers on tap, they have beers covering all palates surrounded with fun, friendly staff and locals. And, if you love the Apres-ski scene, take yourself to the Mangy Moose in Teton Village. The Moose is famous in The Hole and a must see stop on your downtown lights tour. 

Just Chillax!

We get it! Not everybody wants to run around from activity to activity or be out in the cold mountain air all day and night, so it’s a good thing that there are plenty of places to relax and roll with the flow around Jackson Hole this winter. There are plenty of cozy cabins, chalets, and suites available with wood fireplaces front and center where you can curl up with a book or close your eyes and listen to music while you warm your feet by the fire. If massages and manicures are your jam, checkout the Chill spa at Hotel Terra or the spa at the Four Seasons or go for a saltwater float at Healing Waters Therapeutic Float Center.

New Year’s Baby!

We can’t forget the plethora of places to celebrate New Year’s around Jackson Hole with fireworks, music, and fun! Jackson Hole Mountain Resort and Snow King Mountain hold a torchlight ski/snowboard parade down the mountain and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort also hosts a Glow Worm Parade for the kiddos (where they substitute torches for glow sticks and let the kids ski down Eagles Rest run). Each parade is followed by fireworks and then a variety of activities offered for individuals and families. For adults who are into the nightlife scene, the local hotspots, such as the The Mangy Moose and Million Dollar Cowboy Bar host parties with well-known live bands.

Whether you’re visiting Jackson Hole with friends or your family, you will always be able to find fun things to do this winter or holiday season! We can’t wait to see you! Have questions or looking to plan your winter vacation to Jackson Hole, contact the LPJH concierge team.

Since we are all looking forward to a gloriously snow-filled winter in Jackson Hole, it will soon be time to think about packing for your ski trip to our neck of the mountains.

We won’t sugar coat this—it gets magnificently cold here in the winter and that’s just the way we like it. Dry, crisp days full of sunshine and cowboy pow—not that deep, bone-chilling damp cold so common in other parts of the country. Our cold is the best kind and, as long as you plan accordingly, we promise you will love every minute of your stay here! But what to pack?

Layers. Layers are to Jackson Hole winters what big hats are to California summers—essential. The thing about mountain climates is they can change several times a day, without warning, and they vary as you head up to higher elevations from the base of the mountain, so layering is a must. If you’re already a skier or snowboarder, you’ll know that any kind of base layers with wicking fabrics are key to staying warm and dry while hitting the slopes or exploring some of the local national parks. Add in thin wool, such as Merino, on top of that to stay warm and cover it all with a warm hat, waterproof and well-insulated jacket and pants, and warm winter boots (to wear while walking around the village) and you’ll be good to go. 

Nightlife. Jackson Hole is much more laid back and easy going than other ski resorts, so a nice pair of jeans and some boots or anything mountain chic casual will be perfect for hitting up the local nightlife scene. There are plenty of bars to give you that authentic Wyoming feel, or you can visit one of our local breweries or one of the many restaurants if you want something a little calmer and intimate to do in the evenings after a long day on the slopes.

Equipment. Depending on how far you are traveling, you can choose to bring your own gear or rent while you’re visiting. If you forget anything, don’t sweat it as there are plenty of shops to purchase any clothing items you forget. Rentals, including helmets, are available up on the hill and around town and LPJH is more than happy to arrange equipment rentals for you during your stay.

What else? Aside from the essentials, it’s also a good idea to bring lotion, sunscreen, lip balm (as the wind can dry you out), extra socks, gloves, hats, and boots, and a backpack to carry around while you’re up on the mountain or walking around the village. 

Jackson Hole is a winter wonderland once the snows hit and our high-end, luxury property rentals make a perfect base for you and your family to enjoy all the activities and fun the snow brings. We can’t wait to introduce you or welcome you back to our little piece of Wyoming paradise this winter. Please reach out should you have any questions about what to pack and where to stay.
