Where is the best Jackson Hole shopping?
-
The best shopping in Jackson Hole is in the tiny ski town of Jackson, surrounding the centerpiece, Town Square. You can peruse contemporary and Western art galleries, sporting goods shops, clothing boutiques, a bookstore, candy shops, shops selling souvenirs and T-shirts, and, for when you get hungry, cute eateries. Mountain Khakis were born in Jackson Hole in 2003 and locals from skiers to ranch hands quickly took notice. Look for MK’s Original Mountain Pant or Alpine Pant at Jack Dennis Sports and Skinny Skis.
When you’re feeling fancier than Mountain Khakis, Terra carries edgy skinny jeans from Genetic Denim, printed cashmere by Marika Charles, Tucker tops and skirts, and airy silks from Calypso alongside Robert Graham and B.D. Baggies items for men. It even keeps little ones styling with Under the Nile organic robes, wraps and teething toys.
If you are looking specifically for ski gear, Teton Village is overflowing with ski shops. Teton Village Sports has been around forever and has a great selection. Local resident and 1964 Olympic Gold Medalist, Pepi Stiegler, founded his eponymous ski shop, Pepi Stiegler’s Sports, which showcases the latest and greatest ski equipment as well as mountain gear and even ski rentals. In the summer, many of the shops transition to selling and renting bikes instead of skis.
In the tiny town of Wilson, at the base of Teton Pass, Hungry Jack’s General Store sells a little bit of everything, from locally-made truffles to cowboy boots. Wilson is on the way to one of the three ski resorts in the area, Grand Targhee, and makes for a great stopping point before the mountain pass.
