I searched and didn't find an answer to this question, so please don't kill me.

We are headed to Jackson Hole soon for skiing. I'm considering taking my son to the Elk preserve and/or Grand Teton National Park. Are these worth it in the winter?

Also, if anyone has food/drink recommendations, please share.

We didn't do the elk preserve bc we were busy on the slopes the whole time, but it did come highly recommended. We stayed in Teton Village and spent most of our time at the Handle Bar. It was at the base of the mountain and had good beers and food. Get a lesson with Big Mike if that is something you are interested in.

If you want to go see Yellow Stone National Park, which is only like an hour from Jackson, I recommend renting snowmobiles and doing a day out in the national park. I went last year around this time and it was easily the most fun part of my trip.

Wife and I went in January 2012. We didn't ski but did the Elk preserve and did the snowmobile tour to Old Faithful. They are both definitely worth it.

You can see the Elk from the road (not close though) but the wagon tour takes you right through them. Very much a one of a kind opportunity.

The National Park is only open to snowmobiles in winter. Plenty of companies that do tours. Most will cloth you, feed you, and take you to all the highlights back and forth to Old Faithful. This was one of the most memorable days I've ever had on vacation.
