Jackson Hole Weekly Weather Tips

Stargaze and more at Snow King's Observatory and Planetarium.

Instead of relying on your smartphone's default weather app, we recommend using our local resource, mountainweather.com. Every morning year-round, Jackson Hole meteorologist Jim Woodmencey interprets the local weather patterns to create a forecast, offering an informed sense of what to expect so you can plan and dress accordingly. 

We lovingly pair this weekly Jackson Hole Weather Guide with a few favorite Jackson Hole Calendar of Events to make your planning a breeze.

DON'T MISS...

... Snow King Mountain’s state-of-the-art Observatory and Planetarium — the only observatory on a North American ski area — allows you to stargaze and check out the skies day and night. A rooftop observation deck allows portable telescopes to be set up for additional viewing during astronomical events. Planetarium shows rotate throughout the day along with programming at the solar telescope, science on a sphere exhibit, and in the immersive private theater.
