We’re officially in countdown mode and summer kicks off May 22 at Snow King Mountain. The King is ready to shine! With the gondola spinning, mountain adventures in full swing and Aurora open nightly for dinner, this is your sign to start planning those long, sun-soaked days (and even better evenings). Whether you’re carving out a full day of adventure or heading up for golden-hour views and dinner, Snow King delivers that perfect mix of local energy and elevated experiences.
A Full Day on the Mountain
From morning laps to sunset hangs, there’s no shortage of ways to spend your day:
- Scenic gondola rides
- Zipline + Treetop Adventure Course
- Mountain biking + e-bike rentals
- Family-friendly activities for all ages
It’s the kind of choose-your-own-adventure day that works just as well for locals squeezing in a few hours as it does for visitors building out a full itinerary.
Lock in Your Season Pass (Before May 1)
If you know, you know, Snow King is one of the best values in the valley, and locking in your winter ski pass now keeps it that way. Prices go up May 1, and the perks stretch far beyond winter:
- Pays for itself in 6 ski days
- $20 off King Concert tickets
- 20% off summer activities
- 20% off rentals at Snow King Sports
- Summer gondola access for quick hikes (or quicker rides down)
- Bonus: prices haven’t increased from last year.
- Added bonus: through Snow King’s partnership with the Powder Alliance, your Snow King Pass will now get you an additional 60 days of free skiing at an additional 18 resorts worldwide, plus our existing 40+ partner resorts with free or discounted ski benefits.
The King Concert Series Is Back
Big names, and in our Dishing opinion, one of the best venues in the country (yeah, we may be partial, but we’re still claiming it!). Snow King’s summer concert series continues to be one of the most unique ways to catch live music in Jackson. This year’s King Concerts lineup includes: The Elovaters, Too Short, Alabama Shakes, O.A.R., Ziggy Marley and Of Monsters and Men, artists you’d typically catch at places like Red Rocks Amphitheater, but here, you’re up close and personal.
Tickets are already moving fast, so if a show’s been on your radar, now’s the time to lock it in.
Planning a Group Trip?
Snow King makes it easy to turn any gathering into something memorable:
- Dinner at Aurora with unmatched views
- Private experiences at the Snow King Observatory & Planetarium
- Group-friendly mountain activities
From celebrations to corporate outings (or just a solid group of friends), it’s all dialed.
Save the Date: Oktoberfest – September 20
It may feel like a ways out, but Snow King Oktoberfest is one to circle now. Expect more brews, more music and a full day of community vibes, bigger and better than ever.
End the Day at Aurora
After a day on the mountain, there’s really only one move: dinner at Aurora. Come for the food, stay for the sweeping views over Jackson and the Tetons, it’s the kind of setting that turns a casual dinner into a full experience. Insider Tip: If cheese is your love language like ours, do not miss the table side cheese trolley service! Don’t sleep on making your summer reservations.
Plan Ahead, Play More
Summer in Jackson fills up quickly, lodging, reservations, concerts, you name it. A little planning now goes a long way toward locking in the moments that make summer here so good. We’ll see you on the King!
