What January feels like
Jackson sits in a bowl that pools cold air, so the valley floor regularly runs colder overnight than the top of the tram, which sounds wrong until you have stood in both. It is peak ski season, the elk refuge sleigh rides are running, and the thing locals teach visitors first is that the cold here is dry — it is the wind on the way up that gets you.
Winter is doing its thing: 19.1 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 11 days. Nearly every night dips below freezing.
