After receiving 5 inches overnight and another 13 inches in the past 72 hours, the mountain now boasts a base depth of 15 inches, with an additional 14 inches expected next week.

In December, the resort transforms into a holiday hub filled with family-friendly events, festive traditions, and exceptional deals. With lift ticket and airfare savings making it easier than ever to experience Jackson Hole this December, it’s the perfect time to visit. Let’s explore the events and special offers that make Destination December a magical time at Jackson Hole.
A New Era for Sublette
“Sublette,” “Space Mountain” or simply “The Quad.” For the past 37 years, Jackson Hole’s highest elevation chairlift has been a guest favorite and lift operators’ number one lift to work. After tens of thousands of hours hauling skiers and snowboarders to the Alta Chutes and Bivouac, the venerable chairlift is being dismantled to make way for an improved high-speed quad. Jackson Hole’s sixth new lift in ten years is expected to debut for the 2024-25 ski season. Read on for complete info on this project!

A Guide to the Most Epic Ski Town for Non-Skiers
Jackson Hole's skiing may be formidable, but this resort is more than just steep runs and technical terrain. If your idea of a snow vacation doesn't involve pushing your mind and body to the limits on Corbet’s Couloir, perhaps the shopping, spas, gondola rides, sledding, snowshoeing, or numerous restaurants are more your speed. Maybe you want to chill at a luxury hotel, put your feet up by the fire at a cozy log cabin, or enjoy a brew with the backdrop of the Grand Tetons just a stone’s throw away. We get it, and we’re here to show you that with a myriad of experiences, Jackson Hole can be a non-skiers dream destination, too.
How to Buy a Lift Pass
Purchasing lift tickets is an easy, seamless process designed to get you on snow quickly. Jackson Hole limits daily lift ticket capacity throughout the winter, ensuring less time waiting in lift lines and more time enjoying your ski trip. As such, planning ahead is paramount so you can ski or ride on the days you desire. Follow this step-by-step guide to getting your lift tickets.
