Coloradoan headed to jackson hole

jbusch · Jan 20, 2016

Ok wyoming peeps. I need some help. I am headed to Jackson hole with a buddy of mine for his 50th bday boys trip end of Feb. Never been there before and our thought currently is to take the RV 25ft class A, sleds, skis, and all of our backcountry gear. Our plan is to sled, backcountry ski, and resort ski. So, I would love to know some things. First I am concerned about taking the RV as I am not sure about getting it in and out of the snowmobiling areas, ski resort, etc. We do have chains for it but it is an RV. Second, where to stay? We could ditch the RV and take the truck but then again where to stay? Although, I am partial to taking the RV due to costs, fun factor, mobility, etc. Third, where to ride at? Fourth, where to backcountry ski at? I am excited for this trip to get away from the wife and kid for a week but I want to make sure that we have fun and stay safe. We are both solid riders and solid skiers so I am not worried about our ability but do lack the knowledge of the area.
So please advise.

Thanks!

Forget Jackson and just go to alpine. You can drive up to Jackson for the day and ski. Stay at the flying saddle. All the backcountry riding and skiing that a dude needs.

Alpine or Togwotee for riding I would say. Access with RV to Tog should be no issue unless the parking lots are not plowed. Can't speak to Alpine for getting in or out and can't tell you anything about Jackson. I think resort skiing is self explanatory, any gaper can get there in a beetle, the RV should be fine.

There is parking lot to the west of Togowtee Lodge for RVs and trailers. You can cross country ski by the lodge also. The lodge has a restaurant and bar. Call Togowtee Lodge for more info.

You might look at Lava Mtn Lodge. They have year round hookups, 50 amp, water and sewer. Bar and restaurant, really good people. Hour drive down to Jackson and just to the east of Tog.
We were going to base our Prevost out of there this winter, but some parent health issues have kept us close to home this year.

Gotta love out of staters! Its called Jackson, not Jackson Hole! Horse Creek (Pinedale) is an option.
