Topo Map: Shadow Mt. or GTNP
Directions/Parking: From Jackson drive north on Highway 191 to the Gros Ventre Junction and turn right. Drive through Kelly and then five miles north to the end of the plowed road.
Trail description: One of the classic Jackson Hole ski tours, this seven-mile round trip features a mellow climb with wonderful views of the Tetons across the valley. Ski north on the flats until reaching the edge of the forest. Turn east on an unplowed Forest Service road that winds up Shadow Mountain. The route climbs 1,500 feet above the valley floor and is usually packed by skiers and snowmobilers. Return via the road or ski down through open glades on the southwest flank of the mountain.
Avalanche risk: Low to moderate
