Jackson Hole 2025-26: Early-Season Stoke, Snowfall, and Terrain Updates
Ski Report for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming
Daily Ski Conditions for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming
Jackson Hole is firing up for the 2025–26 season with solid early-season coverage on the north side and plenty of Tetons-era stoke for powder chasers and groomer lovers alike. The resort reported opening for the 2025–26 season on December 4 with three primary lifts operating for opening day—Teewinot, Après Vous, and the Sweetwater Gondola to mid-station—which provided access to beginner and intermediate terrain while teams continued to expand access as conditions allowed. Jackson Hole’s official mountain report and lift status page lists a fuller lift roster (Aerial Tram, Bridger and Sweetwater gondolas, Sublette, Teewinot and more) and notes opening hours and that openings are “conditions and avalanche mitigation permitting,” so expect lift counts to change as teams open more terrain.
Early-season snowfall totals have been noteworthy: the resort and local coverage noted about 65 inches at the summit and 34 inches mid-mountain reported around opening time, reflecting the cold storms and snowmaking that enabled the December 4 opening. Third‑party snow reports on Dec. 13 showed a very shallow base of about 3 inches and listed 7 of 13 lifts open, which reflects the variable nature of early-season reporting and the phased openings across terrain. The resort’s own seasonal recap and news posts highlighted big December storms in 2024–25, including multiple-foot dumps in specific bowls, underlining how rapidly conditions can change at Jackson Hole.
If you’re chasing short‑term weather and incoming snow, forecasting services show light new accumulations in the next several days with the next notable chance around Dec. 17 and incremental totals over the following week (forecasts predict a few inches on multiple days, totaling roughly a few inches to a foot across the 7‑day window depending on elevation), but these models also show warm valley temperatures and higher snow lines at times, so precipitation may be rain at lower elevations during milder spells. MountainWeather/NOAA are the sources the resort references for weather, and the Bridger‑Teton NF Avalanche Center contributes snowfall/study-plot data used in resort reports.
Piste conditions early in the season will be typical of a staged opening: machine‑made surfaces and groomed runs on the accessible north‑side and mid‑mountain sectors, with limited natural coverage elsewhere until more lifts and runs come online. Off‑piste and advanced big‑mountain zones (headwalls, bowls, Corbet’s and Hobacks) require deeper natural accumulation for safe, full access—resort messaging and local guides consistently advise staying out of closed areas and heeding ski patrol and avalanche mitigation notices until those sectors are explicitly opened. Jackson Hole’s terrain is steep and rocky by nature, so the mountain needs substantial snowfall to open top‑to‑bottom safely, a factor long noted by resort analysts and rankings.
Practical season stats and visitor notes to keep in your pack: the resort celebrates its 60th season in 2025–26 and is managing daily capacity with limited ticket sales and reservation requirements for some pass types, so buy tickets/reservations in advance if you plan to visit. The mountain also highlights that when venturing into backcountry or open advanced terrain you should be avalanche‑aware—the Bridger‑Teton Avalanche Center forecasts are the authoritative source for current avalanche danger. Parking notes: the resort announced new Stilson paved parking availability for guests.
In short: expect fun early‑season skiing on open north‑side and mid‑mountain runs with machine‑made and groomed surfaces now, changing lift counts as Mountain Ops expands access, summit/mid‑mountain cumulative snowfall figures reported near opening (roughly 65" summit / 34" mid) with shallow on‑report base depths noted by some third‑party trackers, and a mixed short‑range forecast of light snow and variable temperatures that could keep the snow line fluctuating—so check Jackson Hole’s live mountain report, avalanche forecasts, and lift status before you go and reserve your day in advance for the smoothest visit.
