The holiday season is an amazing time to be in Jackson Hole! During Winterfest, join us in Teton Village for free nightly family events from Dec. 22 to Dec. 31. Winterfest kicks off on Dec. 22 with Free Skate Night and the launch of the the newest GlowNights installation, "Cloud Lights". Bring the family to enjoy skating, cocoa and snacks, and public art!
On Christmas Eve, Santa arrives in Jackson Hole in a very special way. Forget the sleigh, head to the Aerial Tram at 4:30pm to witness the magic of Santa dropping in from Big Red. Another Winterfest favorite, Snow Cats & Avalanche Dogs, returns on Dec. 27 with a behind the scenes look into the Resort's coolest things. At the Kid's Ranch, families will have the chance to meet a Jackson Hole Avalanche Dog and JHSP handler, followed by the chance to check out a state-of-the-art-snow cat with a member of JHMR's Grooming department.
Wintefest wraps up with a grand finale on New Year's Eve. Join us in the Base Area for the Glow Worm Parade (all kids welcome), Torchlight Parade, and an epic fireworks show.
