Winter at Bridger Woods

The best of Wyoming
winter, all in one trip

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."
