Snow & Weather Conditions
We use 10 years of historical data to help you plan — not a live snow report.
Wyoming's mountain climate delivers cold, dry snow with excellent powder quality. Arctic fronts push through regularly, refreshing the snowpack with fresh accumulations. A lofty position in the mountains translates to reliable subzero conditions for much of winter. This altitude sweet-spot catches the brunt of incoming weather systems while keeping the base firm and well-preserved. Season-long totals generally land between 6 and 10 metres, translating to a robust mid-winter base well above 2 metres.

Data Sources & Methodology
All snowfall statistics for Jackson Hole are based on 10 years of historical data (2015-2025) from the Open-Meteo Historical Weather API, which provides ERA5 reanalysis data from the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). Daily snowfall totals are queried at Jackson Hole's coordinates (43.59, -110.83) and 3,185m elevation, then aggregated into monthly averages, record highs/lows, and powder probability scores. Powder probability represents the chance of receiving 15cm or more of fresh snow in any given week during that month.
