Caffeinate

Persephone, serving mochas made with TCHO chocolate and drip coffee brewed from Intelligentsia beans, is the place in town for your morning cup. Don’t miss the perfectly flaky croissants on your before-the-slopes checklist.

Shop

Instead of the cheesy magnets and made-in-China souvenirs you tend to find in ski-town shops, Made sells gemstone drop earrings and hand-sewn leather footballs with soul.

Eat

In Trio, take a seat at the bar to watch the chefs—one a grad of the Culinary Institute of America—slide pizzas made with goat cheese and wild mushrooms into the wood-fired oven. In 2018, Jackson Drug reopened and now sells burgers made with beef from Jackson Hole Hereford Ranch as well as house-made ice cream in typical diner fashion.

There’s more than American fare here, too: Order shareable dishes like robata-grilled meat and vegetable skewers, and sashimi from the raw bar at Japanese concept Suda Izakaya.

Drink

Dornan’s Spur Bar is nothing complicated: a friendly, small-town watering hole where you can enjoy beer while staring out huge windows at the mountains you just conquered.

Sleep

For some privacy, head to the eight-suite Caldera House, a hotel conveniently located near the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort tram in Teton Village. If you want to stay closer to town, Hotel Jackson offers 55 spacious rooms with cozy details—including gas fireplaces and large bathtubs—that aim to give a luxurious twist on the traditional West.
