"Jackson Hole Mountain Resort has postponed the start of its 2025-26 winter season as warm temperatures and limited early-season snowfall prevent the mountain from meeting its safety and terrain-coverage standards. The resort reported just 26 inches of mid-mountain snowfall through November, and sustained warmth has hampered snowmaking efforts across key areas of the mountain. With insufficient coverage to safely open terrain, JHMR said it will reassess conditions in the coming days."
""The mountain just needs a little more time, but we are monitoring conditions closely, and the forecast is favorable for both snowfall and snowmaking," JHMR CEO Doug Pierini said in a press release. "We're making every effort to open as soon as possible and expect to announce Opening Day for our historic 60th Anniversary season soon. We thank our Mountain Operations team for their incredibly hard work to get the resort ready and we look forward to celebrating Opening Day together soon.""
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort postponed the 2025-26 winter season start because warm temperatures and limited early snowfall prevented meeting safety and terrain-coverage standards. The resort recorded only 26 inches of mid-mountain snowfall through November, and sustained warmth has hampered snowmaking across key areas. Insufficient coverage prevents the safe opening of terrain, prompting JHMR to reassess conditions in the coming days. Snow production will continue wherever temperatures allow, and a new Opening Day will be announced once conditions improve. Regional contrasts persist, with many Western resorts delaying openings while East Coast areas report heavy early snowfall.
