Best Time To Ski Jackson Hole For Smaller Crowds: Jackson's deserved reputation for early snowfall has made the Christmas-New Year's week a crowded one. Those willing to ski the week before Christmas and the week after New Year's will usually find good snow and sparse crowds (and spend about half as much on lodging). Spring is also a good bet, as Jackson doesn't see the kinds of spring break crowds that Colorado and Utah do, which makes March a good time to ski for smaller crowds—but Jackson's snow, due to its overwhelming Eastern aspect, can get rough in the spring (see Snow details below).

For Snow

Best Time To Ski Jackson Hole For Snow: Skiers always stand good odds of getting a nice storm while in Jackson. The mountain tends to be 100% open by Christmas during most seasons. And big storms keep coming until May. The mountain's high percentage of east-facing terrain means that snow can degrade quickly in the spring, as north facing slopes are few.
