We spent the bulk of our season in Jackson, Wyoming skiing the Teton Range in the 2020/21 season.

We made it up there for opening day in November, stayed for all of the 172″ February, and left with a huge smile on our faces on March 1st when spring hit hot and hard and it was time to move on.

February was insane in the Tetons.

February 2021 was the 3rd snowiest month on record at Jackson Hole, WY.

  • 193″ of snow fell in February 2021 at the Raymer plot at Jackson Hole which is tied for the most snow ever recorded in February
  • 172″ of snow fell at the Rendezvous Bowl plot at Jackson Hole which ranks it as the 3rd snowiest month on record
  • 172” of snow recorded in Rendezvous Bowl is almost 100” above average for the month of February

“I have been forecasting the weather here for 30 years now and skiing Jackson Hole for almost 40 years and I have to say, February 2021 might have been one of the best months ever. Not just in terms of quantity of snow, but the quality of the snow. It was both deep and light, day after day!”

February 2021 in Jackson Hole, WY:
