Top 5 Insider Tips for Skiers Visiting Jackson Hole This Winter
 Top 5 Insider Tips for Skiers Visiting Jackson Hole This Winter
Jackson Hole is famous for its legendary slopes, deep powder, and breathtaking Teton views — but if you know a few local tricks, your ski trip can go from great to truly unforgettable. Whether you’re here for the first time or back for your annual powder pilgrimage, here are our top five tips for making the most of ski season in Jackson Hole.
1. Catch First Tram — and Bring Snacks
Locals know: the early bird gets the powder. If you’re heading to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, aim to catch the first tram up Rendezvous Mountain for untouched runs and smaller crowds. It’s worth the early wake-up call. (Pro tip: grab a quick, hot breakfast at Bentwood before you go — or pack one of our chef’s homemade granola bars for the lift line.)
2. Save Money and Time with START Bus
Skip the parking hassle and take advantage of the free START Bus. From Bentwood Inn, it’s just a quick five-minute walk to the Stilson Transfer Station, where you can hop on a complimentary ride that drops you right at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. It’s one of the easiest ways to get on the slopes early — and it’s good for your wallet and the planet. You can also take the bus into town for a night out, worry-free.
3. Soak and Recover Like a Local
After a day on the slopes, treat your muscles to a soak at Astoria Hot Springs, about 20 minutes south of Jackson. The natural mineral pools overlook the Snake River and are pure magic at sunset. Back at Bentwood, we’ll have hors d'oeuvres and the fire going — the perfect après-ski combo.
4. Rent with Ski Butlers
Skip the rental shop altogether and let Ski Butlers come to you. They’ll deliver top-quality skis, boards, and boots right to the Bentwood Inn, complete with fireside fittings so you’re ready to hit the slopes in comfort. Guests of Bentwood receive a 10% discount, saving both time and money while adding a little extra ease to your Jackson Hole ski adventure.
5. Stay Somewhere That Feels Like Home
Between long ski days and chilly nights, there’s nothing like coming back to a crackling fire, warm cookies, and a soft bed. The Bentwood Inn, built from reclaimed Yellowstone timber, offers all the warmth of a log lodge with luxury touches and sustainable practices that make your stay feel good — in every sense.
Whether you’re chasing powder, cozying up with a glass of wine, or planning a romantic winter getaway, we’d love to be your home base for Jackson’s best ski season yet.
Book your winter stay at Bentwood Inn, and experience Jackson Hole like a local — sustainably, comfortably, and deliciously.
