Affectionately known as "mud season" by locals, October and November are Jackson's off-season. The leaves have fallen, the air is cold and there's not quite enough snow accumulation yet to ski. But it is a great time of year to indulge in some locals' specials around town. Our favorite eateries open their doors and lower their prices.
