[Go for it...] Jackson Hole skiing tips from one who was born and raised there: - Yes, it can get cold. The last week of December and the first two of January are the coldest. The coldest I have seen was about -65 (F). Usual is about +10-20. - Ski the tram only if you are an expert. There are plenty of intermediate runs off the lifts, and they are cheaper. The only ways down from the top are Rendezvous bowl (black diamond) and Corbet's Cooloir (flashing red danger sign). Highly recommended if you are good. - Best powder is January, which is the peak snowfall month. - Don't forget the simply outrageous spring skiing in late March or early April. - Enjoy!
