WinterFest

Kick off WinterFest 2024 with our annual tree lighting ceremony and the GlowNights lighting of Electric Dandelions by Liquid PXL with our snow castle opening. Bring the entire family and celebrate with free hot chocolate, cookies, and sparklers. The official light-up will begin at 5pm. We are also offering free skate rentals for this special occasion or you can bring your own.

GlowNights is sponsored by Jackson Hole Public Art, Teton Village Association, Jackson Hole Travel & Tourism, and Willow Street.

Toy making isn't Santa's only hobby. Inspired by the 2024 Summer Olympics event, Santa decided to learn a new skill and wants to show you his moves. Swing by the Village Commons Skating Rink and watch Santa break it down. 

The magic of Santa Jackson Hole Style, this is not your usual sleigh arrival for the holiday star. Join us at 3pm to ice skate with Santa on Teton Village's ice-skating rink! There are skate rentals, or you're welcome to bring your own. 

Santa is a pretty solid intermediate skier these days thanks to our friends at the Mountain Sports School! Seek him out around Teewinot and the base of the Gondolas around 10 am, or find him on the hill afterward on Après Vous and Casper! He'll be skiing around until 12 pm.

Download the JH Insider app to participate in our WinterFest Scavenger Hunt! A clue will drop at 11am for a chance to find elves hidden throughout the Ski area. Prize to be redeemed at JH Sports & Teton Village Sports. 

Grab the family and join us for a night of gliding around under the Wyoming winter sky with free hot coco! Offering free skate rentals for this special occasion or you can bring your own.

Calling all kids for the Glow Worm Parade! This New Years' tradition substitutes glow sticks for torch lights. All children are welcome to participate & no sign-up needed. We will load the Sweetwater Gondola from 4:30-5:15 and the parade will start at 5:30pm. Kids will finish at the base of Sweetwater Gondola. Come dressed in skis and boots (no poles please). Participation is free and parents are not required to accompany skiers but are welcome to join. 

The Torchlight Parade (MSS Staff only) will begin shortly after the Glow Worm parade reaches the base of Sweetwater Gondola, at approximately 6pm, and fireworks will follow. Ring in the New Year in classic JHMR tradition! 

Send off 2024 and welcome the new year with wish papers and hot chocolate. Sponsored by Jackson Hole Public Art, write down your aspirations for 2025 and manifest them into existence. Afterward, enjoy free skating at the Village Commons rink and fuel up at Southcable with pizza and hot chocolate.
