Lodging Update

I talked with Visitor Center yesterday and town is filling up quick. There is limited availability in town. Call 307.733.3316 for an update on what is available.

We do have cabins available and of course snowmobile rentals for those that need a fix.

Update

The forecast for snow showers and temperatures the mid to high 30s.

For those new to the Jackson Hill Climb, consider:
Snow King rises 1,500 vertical feet above the town of Jackson. The hill climb course follows a route that, near the summit, steepens to nearly a 45-degree angle. Hill climbers who lose it on the upper reaches of the course often tumble hundreds of feet back downhill.

The forecast is:
Thursday: Snow showers likely. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 26. West wind around 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 2 inches possible.

Thursday Night: A 20 percent chance of snow showers before midnight. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 7. Wind chill values as low as -1. West southwest wind between 12 and 15 mph becoming calm.

Friday: A 40 percent chance of snow showers after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 36. South southwest wind between 6 and 11 mph.

Friday Night: A 50 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy and breezy, with a low around 20.

Saturday: A 50 percent chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 35.

Saturday Night: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 11.

Sunday: A chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 36.

Not familiar with the Jackson Hole riding area, any suggestions? Is there any good boondocking, meadows, or hills? We're here to watch the hill climb but wouldn't mind doing a little of our own. thanks in advance

Head to Togwotee Pass area. Head north out of town past the airport, thru Grand Teton National Park. Its about 1 hour. SnoWest magazine has ranked this area number 1 for riding this year. Snow wise, we have gotten over 2 feet of snow in the last 5 days.

 

[mrpowercat]

Thanks for the info. We plan on heading that way tommorrow, first trip this far north.
