World-class skiing 60 minutes away. Snowmobiling through Bridger-Teton from your doorstep. Come home to an 8-person hot tub under a sky full of stars.
Most people don't realize how incredible Star Valley is in winter. You're close enough to Jackson Hole to ski world-class terrain every day, yet far enough away to escape the crowds and prices. Come back each evening to the quiet of the ranch — snowmobile trails, cross-country skiing, ice skating, and a hot tub that hits different at 10°F.
4WD and snow tires are strongly recommended. The roads are maintained, but this is real Wyoming winter — and that's exactly the point.
"The hot tub was definitely a bonus and the kids loved it."
