While conditions allow, you can enjoy skating at the town square as part of Jackson Hole's winter tradition. Don't miss this opportunity!

Sledding

Grab a sled and find a hill! Nothing feels like winter family fun than a traditional sled and a hill covered in snow. Here in Teton Village, our commons area has a sled hill with sleds and other devices to propel you downhill in a safe yet fun environment. A perfect ending to a great day after skiing, you'll hear the kids laughter from hundreds of feet away!

Sleigh Ride

Imagine taking a horse-drawn sleigh ride among an elk herd numbering in the thousands. At the National Elk Refuge, such an adventure is available to winter visitors from mid-December through early April via a private contractor, Double H Bar, Inc. The National Elk Refuge also offers additional wildlife viewing excursions and daily programs at the Jackson Hole & Greater Yellowstone Visitor Center.

Stash Park

Four different Burton Stash Parks are sprinkled around the mountain, mixing up natural terrain features, local wood and all of the creative elements the mountain has to offer. By using what's already around, the Stash has more impact on your riding and less impact on the environment. Look for the Stash icons on the Trail Map and find your favorite.

Snowballing

You'll soon find the snow quality in Jackson Hole typically makes for perfect snowball conditions, so aim below the face and remember only throw the snowball as hard as you would want someone to throw at you!
