Snow King Observatory & Planetarium
The only mountaintop planetarium in the US
Jackson Hole, WY | active | 2 to 8 hours



Snow King Mountain Resort is Jackson's closest ski area — just six blocks from the Town Square — and a year-round outdoor destination. In winter, 500 skiable acres and 1,571 feet of vertical drop deliver everything from groomed beginner terrain to steep expert chutes, with night skiing available. Summer transforms the mountain into an adventure park: a new 8-passenger gondola, mountain coaster, treetop adventure course, zip lines, alpine slide, mini-golf, and bungee trampoline. Lift tickets start at $65; a summer Big King Ultimate pass accesses all activities for $200. The Snow King Observatory and Planetarium sit at the summit.

Overview
What's great
Town Ski Mountain
Six blocks from the Town Square — ski, ride, or adventure without leaving the heart of Jackson Hole.
What's unique
Night Skiing Available
Night skiing on more than 90% of trails makes Snow King one of the few lit mountains in the region.
What's worth knowing
Steep Mountain
Don't let its size fool you; Snow King is famous for its sustained steepness. While there are beginner areas, much of the terrain is challenging, making it a favorite for local experts and racing teams.
