#Yellowstone #ynp #jacksonhole #winterwonderland #Repost @usinterior ・・・ This fox is diving for its dinner. Tracking mice under the snow, the #fox will leap up and land on its prey, taking it by surprise. It’s an effective, and entertaining, performance. Just one of the many wonders @YellowstoneNPS in #Wyoming. Photo by National Park Service.

Love this close up of the elk antler arch in the square! #jacksonhole #jhdreaming #livingthedream ・・・#Repost @thedanielheim | Wyoming on the mind | still

It's a mountain town winter wonderland. #jacksonhole #jhdreaming #skitheking #snowking

Happy Earth Day from the most beautiful place on earth. #wereAlittleBias #earthday #jacksonhole #jhdreaming

It was a little foggy and a little eerie Friday morning. #jacksonhole #mountaintown

It's been full of stormy or snowy days towards the end of the week. We're pretty sure to the best way to spend those days are in front of our fireplace. #Repost @budgerealtygroup ・・・ Working at our cozy @snowkingresort office today. I'm sure grateful for this nice fire on such a stormy day. #winterstorm #jacksonhole

#foreverwest @lukemphoto ・・・ Early season snow falls in the #bridgertetonnationalforest in NW #Wyoming. The #jacksonhole area is turning into a #winterwonderland.

Thank you to @stiomountain for sponsoring our models wear! #jacksonhole #stio

A few words on the Snow at Snow King Resort

Snow King has no detail snow data, but we accept the published average of 150 inches snowfall, due to its location in the town of Jackson leeward of the much higher Tetons. Snow King is best known for race training.

Accumulation and Preservation

Snow King’s early season openings are above average due to extensive snowmaking. Exposure is north, so the fairly steep manmade snow can be firm. Snow King like many resorts has its most reliable snow conditions from mid-January to mid-March.
