Winter Weather in Jackson Hole (November–March)
Winter transforms Jackson Hole into a snow-lover’s paradise. With an average of 406 inches of snow annually, and the greatest accumulations in December, January, and February–when snowfall peaks–make Jackson Hole the ideal destination for winter activities. Higher elevations often experience temperature inversions, bringing warmer air to the peaks and cooler temperatures in the valley.
Top Winter Activities
Hit the pristine slopes for a day of skiing and snowboarding. Beyond the slopes, the serene snow-covered trails are perfect for snowshoes or cross-country skis. Other top experiences include snowmobiling, dog sledding, and sleigh rides through the National Elk Refuge.
What to Pack
Pack for the cold with gear that keeps you cozy and ready for adventure. Thermal layers, fleece, and a reliable down jacket are essential, along with waterproof outerwear to keep the snow at bay. Don’t forget items like insulated gloves, hats, and a scarf to stay comfortable as you explore. For those heading into the backcountry, avalanche safety gear is a must.
Winter at 49er Inn & Suites
When the snow is falling and Jackson Hole becomes a winter wonderland, the 49er Inn & Suites is the perfect retreat after a day on the slopes. Start your mornings with their complementary extended continental breakfast, and after exploring the powder-covered mountains, relax in the spacious indoor hot tub or unwind by the fireplace in your newly renovated room.
Spring Weather in Jackson Hole (April–June)
Spring in Jackson Hole is a season of change. Temperatures swing between 20°F and 60°F, and snowstorms can still make an appearance. As the snow begins to melt, rivers swell with runoff, and green meadows start to emerge, hinting at the vibrant summer ahead.
Top Spring Activities
Depending on your arrival and the snowfall for the season you’ll likely still be able to snowboard and ski for most of Spring. Aiming for April? Participate in Gaper Day and attend the Rendezvous Festival to immerse yourself in local culture. On some Spring days, you might find yourself alternating between carving the last of the season’s snow and hiking trails coming to life with the signs of wildlife.
What to Pack
Layers are your best friend in spring. Be prepared for anything with a waterproof jacket and sturdy boots that can handle muddy trails or lingering snow.
Spring at Elk Country Inn
As the valley wakes up from its winter slumber, Elk Country Inn provides a cozy base for enjoying Jackson Hole. With newly renovated Grand King and Queen rooms, the property is warm and comfortable during chilly mornings and rainy afternoons. After hiking muddy trails or catching the last snow on the slopes, you’ll appreciate soaking in the indoor and outdoor hot tubs–perfect for easing tired muscles.
Summer Weather in Jackson Hole (June–August)
Summer in Jackson Hole is mild and delightful, with temperatures ranging from 50°F to 90°F. The days are long, perfect for soaking up the sunshine while exploring the natural beauty of the region.
Top Summer Activities
This is the season to explore the vast expanses of Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, where trails wind through majestic landscapes and wildlife roams freely. Evenings bring a slight chill in the air, inviting you to gather around the fireplace in your room or experience the nightlife in Jackson Hole.
What to Pack
Packing for summer means thinking light and breathable. Shorts, t-shirts, and a light jacket will keep you comfortable during the day, while a sweater will be handy for cooler evenings. Don’t forget a sturdy pair of hiking boots and a raincoat for unexpected showers. For downtime, comfortable footwear like sneakers or sandals will keep you relaxed and ready for whatever comes next.
Summer at Cowboy Village Resort
Long summer days and warm mountain breezes are best experienced from the log cabins at Cowboy Village Resort. These charming cabins blend rustic appeal with modern amenities, creating a home-away-from-home feel. Cool off after a hike with a dip in the pool, or relax on your cabin’s porch as the sun sets over the mountains. The property’s central location also ensures easy access to Jackson’s top summer attractions.
Fall Weather in Jackson Hole (September–October)
Fall in Jackson Hole is a feast for the senses. The air turns crisp, the landscapes glow with autumn hues, and there’s a calm that settles over the valley.
Top Fall Activities
This is the perfect time to wander through the National Museum of Wildlife Art or take a scenic drive through the countryside. Hike through the National Parks to see the fall foliage or try your hand at fly fishing.
What to Pack
Similar to spring, layering is key to enjoying the changes of the season. A waterproof jacket will prepare you for any sudden rain or snow storms, while comfortable walking shoes or boots will keep you grounded as you explore.
Fall at Antler Inn
As autumn’s golden hues take over the valley, the Antler Inn places you in the heart of Jackson Hole, just steps away from the town’s vibrant art galleries, and restaurants. After a day of exploring, unwind in front of your room’s fireplace before heading out to experience the town’s nightlife.
Essential Items to Pack for All Seasons
No matter when you visit, there are a few essentials you’ll want to have on hand. A bathing suit is perfect for relaxing in a hot tub or swimming in the pool. A hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen will protect you from the mountain sun. Lip balm is a must for the dry air and a reusable water bottle will help you stay hydrated as you explore. Comfortable clothing for relaxing after your adventures will make your stay even more enjoyable.
