Jackson Hole

Wild-west Jackson is definitely the place for non-skiers, with plenty of diversions nearby, including snowmobile riding (outfitters offer full-day and half- day trips throughout the valley) and the National Elk Refuge which organizes sleigh rides through the giant herds of elk that make Jackson Hole their home during the winter months.

Saddlehorn Nordic Center at Jackson Hole's base area offers 14 miles (22 km) of Nordic skating and touring lanes, in addition to snowshoeing and dog-sledding. Night skiing is available at Snow King resort. Jackson also has a recreation center and iceskating.   

There are also snowmobile tours, sleigh rides and horse riding through the surrounding mountains. Yellowstone National Park, with wildlife and hot spring viewing, can be visited by snowcoach or snowmobile.
