Great Times to be Had in January
Posted 1/07/2012Many towns seem to shut down when winter peaks her roaring head, but not Jackson Hole. In fact, the events just get more rambunctious and spirited in the chill of this snowy season. Here are just a few of the many events taking place this January in our western town.
Music
The JH Center for the Arts and downtown's Town Square Tavern are hosting some great bands this month. The Center welcomes Maceo Parker on January 7 and Sister Hazel on January 19. Town Square Tavern will rock to Devon Allman on January 13 and Jason Isbell on January 14. Of course, great local musicians are taking the stage Après Ski style nearly every day of the week out in Teton Village. Be sure to check out the schedules at the Mangy Moose Saloon, The Alpenhof Bistro and The Four Seasons.
Sports
If you are in town visiting this winter, chances are good that you will be hitting the hill to ski or snowboard. On your down time you can partake in some other great snow events. Our local Moose Hockey team plays in the Snow King Ice Center January 13-14 and January 20-21. Beer, brawls and an overall good time are always at risk!
At the end of January Jackson will welcome back the annual International Pedigree Stage Stop Sled Dog Race. The race begins in Jackson and then winds its way around Wyoming before ending in Park City, Utah. The send off celebrations are not to be missed and will take place outside on the Town Square on January 27 at 5 pm. See the dogs in all their glory!
Enjoy your winter visit in Jackson and don't forget to bundle up. This Wyoming Dude Ranch is taking a much needed hibernation, but we will see you soon!
