LAST EDITED ON Dec-13-12 AT 07:52PM (MST)[p]You'll like it.
While it's not the Jackson Hole of 1984, it's still a good visit if your not a regular and don't need a 5 star experience. The shops have some western art and the bars play country tunes. The scenery is spectacular, if you haven't seen it 50 times already. If you ski, there are ski runs in the area. Yellowstone is a short drive north but I don't know if the South Gate is open in the winter. If it's open, Yellowstone is different in the snow.
"The sleigh ride on the elk refuge is kinda neat......once." Yep!
You might find a snow mobile rental: http://www.jacksonholesnowmobile.com/self-guided-rentals.php
I know how the other guys feel though, it isn't the same as it was when it was smaller and further off the beaten path, 30 years ago. I've been to a lot of "cool" places in the last few years and they all seem to have the same problem, crappy people like "cool" places too and when they all move there to live, the "cool" places are no longer the kind of places most of us outdoorsy types like to spend time. Make sense? But most any place that was once "a great place" is still worth at least one visit, hence I think you'll still enjoy your stay in Jackson.
Attitude makes a difference too. Give us an opinion, if you darn, when you get back from your visit.

I am pretty excited. My wife and I don't have much for expectations, just a relaxing weekend. The sleigh ride sounds like a blast, we will try that out. For the most part I am excited to see the country. Hope to see a few deer on the drive there.
I'll tell you who it was . . . it was that D@MN Sasquatch!

Kawboy-
Tons of wildlife viewing up this way. Don't know where you are coming from, but at the mouth of Snake River canyon near Alpine, you can find goats. A little further up near the Hoback, you can find sheep, and you'll see lots of deer too. Can't beat the wildlife.

I just got back from a week up there.
Take Broadway straight out to the elk refuge and after it turns to dirt from pavement watch the north side Miller Butte as the sheep are down and hanging thru there in the rut. Some nice Rams and lot's a ewes.
Go north outta town on 89 and when ya cross the Gros Ventre river turn right on the Kelly road and there a allot of buff hanging thru there.
If a stop in one of the lil' turnouts you can glass north onto Black Butte and see the elk hanging on the face.
Swing by the Grand Teton visitors center and take the narrative talk/walk and spend some money in the gift shop===
You will be fine.

I cant remember the name of the place, but there is a little shop in the main square that deals in old fossils and artifacts. They have some incredible pieces in there with incredible price tags. Last time I was in there they had a mammoth tusk that was selling for something like 400k. It might as well be a museum, but most of the pieces have been refined to be more like art than in a natural state. I think the place is amazing.
