What to pack

What January feels like

Bridger Bowl is fifteen minutes up the canyon, and there is a blue light on the Baxter Hotel downtown that gets switched on when enough new snow has fallen overnight — the whole town knows exactly what it means. It freezes essentially every night this month, so the car wants a garage or a block heater.

Winter is doing its thing: 12.7 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 9 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
