Spring in Jackson, Wyoming is a magical time. The mountains are still draped in snow, but the air is warmer, the sun shines longer, and the crowds start to thin out. It’s the perfect season to enjoy the best of both worlds—world-class skiing in the morning and breathtaking wildlife encounters in the afternoon.
🌄 8:00 AM – Wake Up in the Heart of the Tetons
Start your day early in downtown Jackson or Teton Village, where cozy lodges and rustic cabins offer stunning views of the snow-covered mountains. Grab a hot coffee and a hearty breakfast at Persephone Bakery, a local favorite known for its flaky croissants and avocado toast. The fresh mountain air, mixed with the smell of pine, is the perfect wake-up call for the adventure ahead.
🎿 9:00 AM – Hit the Slopes at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
With your gear packed in the MR6886 Backpack—which keeps your essentials dry thanks to its water-resistant fabric—you head toward Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, just a short drive from town.
Spring skiing here is unbeatable. The snow is still fresh, and the warmer temperatures mean you don’t have to bundle up as much. Ride the iconic Aerial Tram to the top of Rendezvous Mountain, where at 10,450 feet, you’re rewarded with breathtaking views of the Teton Range and Snake River Valley.
If you’re an advanced skier, you might dare to take on Corbet’s Couloir, one of the most famous (and steepest) runs in North America. If you prefer a more relaxed ride, groomed runs like Rendezvous Trail or Amphitheater offer a smoother experience with equally stunning scenery.
🐺 1:00 PM – Afternoon Wildlife Safari in Grand Teton National Park
After an exhilarating morning on the slopes, switch gears and head into the wild. A short drive brings you to Grand Teton National Park, where spring is one of the best times to spot elk, moose, bison, bald eagles, and even wolves. The National Elk Refuge is also a must-visit, as thousands of elk begin their seasonal migration back into the mountains.
If you’re up for a light hike, the Taggart Lake Trail (3 miles round trip) is a great option. The snow-covered peaks reflecting in the clear waters of the lake create a picture-perfect moment. Don’t forget to keep binoculars and a camera in your MR6886 backpack—there’s always a chance to catch a grizzly bear or fox roaming the area.
🔥 5:00 PM – Après-Ski & Hot Springs Soak
After a full day of adventure, it’s time to unwind in true Jackson style. Head to The Handle Bar at Four Seasons for some après-ski drinks—nothing beats a spiked hot chocolate or a local craft beer by the firepit. If you're looking for something truly relaxing, take a short drive to Granite Hot Springs, where you can soak in a naturally heated outdoor pool surrounded by pine trees and mountain views. The warm mineral water soothes tired muscles, and the crisp evening air makes the experience even more refreshing.
🍽 8:00 PM – Dinner in Downtown Jackson
End the day with a delicious meal at Snake River Grill, a beloved Jackson institution known for its buffalo steak, truffle fries, and cozy lodge atmosphere. If you’re in the mood for something more casual, Liberty Burger offers amazing bison burgers and sweet potato fries.
