Snow King Mountain
A “ski mountain in town” right on the south side of the Town of Jackson. A gondola ride of a few minutes takes you to the summit for views over the town and the Teton peaks, and in summer there is also an alpine coaster.
Snow King Mountain opened in 1939 and was the first ski area in Wyoming. It is about a 10-minute walk from the town square to the base. A new gondola runs directly to the summit viewing platform at about 2,380 meters. In summer, there are an alpine coaster, zip lines, mountain bike trails and hiking. In winter, night skiing is available, and prices are more affordable than at Jackson Hole. From the top you can see the whole town, the National Elk Refuge and the Grand Teton in the distance.
