No snow yet. Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

- 1,929–3,169 m
We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.

Jackson Hole, in Wyoming, United States, runs from 1,929 m at the base to 3,169 m at the top. The map shows 140 marked runs and 17 lifts (about 79 km of piste in all).
Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 224 cm of snowfall a season, 924th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 67th in the United States. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2021/22 (165 cm), reached 74% of the average. December brings as much snow as January here (61 and 53 cm on average).
How much snow it gets
Measured by us across 3,069 ski areas by one identical method. These are not the resort’s own published figures.
Compared with what is nearby
Within 50 km straight line. Measured the same way, so the ranks compare directly. The weather model works on cells about 30 km across; ski areas in the same cell get the same figure, and these numbers cannot separate them.
| Ski area | Distance | Seasonal snowfall | World rank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snow King Mountain | 15.0 km | 221 cm | 945 |
| Grand Targhee Resort | 24.0 km | 295 cm | 500 |
Runs and lifts
Counted from the runs and lifts drawn on OpenStreetMap, within the boundary of the ski area. These are not the resort’s own published figures.

Which way the slopes face
59% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east; plenty of the terrain faces the sun as well, so the lean is modest.

When it falls, and how winters differ
Month by month
Month by month, the most snow falls in February. March brings 91% of January’s snowfall. That is in line with the median for ski areas in the United States (85%). In amount, March brings 48 cm, more than the median of 30 cm.
Winter by winter
Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 224 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2021/22 with 165 cm; the biggest was 2016/17 with 320 cm (1.9 times as much).
Snowfall each winter (December–March total). The dashed line is the average; the numbers mark the leanest and the biggest winter.
