Jackson Hole Ski Holiday Guide
Activities in Jackson Hole
Dog Sledding
Winner of both the “Best Cared for Team” and The Sportsmanship awards, Iditarod Champion Billy Snodgrass is the host for your dog sledding adventure! Weather permitting, tours start at the end of November and run until April. There is a variety of exhilarating trails to choose from, all which offer spectacular scenery through the Teton, Shoshoni and Targhee National Forests surrounding Jackson Hole and the Greater Yellowstone area.
Heli-Sking
“Untouched, Untracked, Unbelievable”-the High Mountain Heli-Skiing (HMH) has been in operation since 1974. In the intervening years, heli-skiing has gone from strength to strength, as skiers cannot help but relish the experience of exploring the silent pristine beauty of untracked powder, high in the Tetons. A new Bell 407 helicopter is used to access the 305,000-acre terrain, which includes ranges to the south of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Sign up for an exhilarating day away from those lift lines, exploring wondrous forests and glades, steep downhills and vast open bowls. At the end of this very memorable day, you will be picked up by van at the highway.
Sleigh Ride
Settle down and luxuriate in your sleigh ride through Jackson Hole Mountain Resort to a delicious prime rib dinner at Solitude Cabin. With a history all of its own, your horse-drawn sleigh was formerly used by Jackson ranchers to transport hay to their wintering cattle, and their seats are the same design used to transport area schoolchildren during the 1950s. The magnificent horses taking the strain are Clydesdales and Shirt teams from Wyoming. Dinner also includes broiled salmon and a vegetarian entrée. Live entertainment is provided and a children’s menu is available. Reservations are essential to secure your place.
Snowcat Skiing
Professional and Informative guides will ensure clients enjoy a wonderful day out, in the midst of one of the most stunning landscapes in the country. The only snowcat operation in Jackson Hole will lead you through the backcountry, enabling you to explore deep powder, steeps, woods and breath-taking Teton vistas on a day out to remember on Angle Mountain.
Snowmobiling
Surrounded by the stunning views of the majestic Teton Mountain Range, you cannot fail to adore your day out with Togwotee Snowmobile Adventures (TSA). All their Yellowstone tours include transportation to and from your hotel or residence, all gear (helmet, gloves, boots, snow bib and coat), your snowmobile, gas and oil, and an enthusiastic and informative guide. Lunch is also provided, and breakfast too on Yellowstone and Continental Divide trips. There will be many chances to stop and take pictures, including perhaps of wildlife and geothermal features. The park fee is not included. All drivers must be in possession of a valid driver’s license.
Snowshoeing
A trained naturalist guide will take you on a wonderful journey into the depths of a winter wonderland on a snowshoe or cross-country skiing natural history tour! Your knowledgeable guide will show you how to track animals through the snow and identify their prints. You will learn various features of winter ecology and throughout your tour you will appreciate the incredible beauty of Jackson Hole. Varieties of tours are offered, appropriate for all ages and abilities.
