February in Jackson is basically a choose-your-own-adventure where every ending involves either a DJ set, a cowboy bar, a wine dinner at elevation, or accidentally speed-dating on a chairlift because you “just wanted one more run.”
Below is the rest-of-month lineup, cleaned up and tightened, so you can pretend you’re organized while still making wildly optimistic plans around weather, lift lines, and the eternal question: “Do we rally… or do we go home like responsible adults?”
