Peak Winter, Prime Skiing: Why You Should Visit Jackson Hole in January
JH Dreaming? January's the Answer.
Snow falls softly as you walk to dinner. The holidays have passed, but the glow of lingering Christmas lights illuminates the town and highlights the large snowflakes drifting down. It’s snowing hard, yet the forecast calls for clearing skies by morning—cold temperatures and bright sunshine ahead. Your alarm is set early for the bluebird powder day to come. It’s January in Jackson Hole, and there’s no better place to be.
This isn’t the opening to a ski fairytale—it’s the reality of January in the Tetons. An average of 7.5 feet of snow falls each January, yet about 45% of the month remains sunny. Paired with consistently cold temperatures, it’s the perfect recipe for the epic bluebird powder days Jackson Hole is famous for. January just might be the best month to ski here.
