Passenger volume sets the size of the parking market, but it is not the whole story. The table compares JAC with nearby Mountain West airports on the measures a landowner should weigh: boardings, the typical daily rate and how many off-airport lots already compete for those travelers.
What kind of travelers park at JAC?
JAC is a seasonal market: boardings bunch into ski or summer peaks, and off-airport lots near Jackson fill for a few months, then run light. Wins Parking prices those peaks with dynamic daily rates and uses shoulder months for sealcoat, striping and repairs.
Because a seasonal lot earns most of its revenue in a short window, reservation pre-pay and a shuttle that runs on the flight schedule matter more at JAC than at a year-round hub.
Wins Parking's read on the JAC market: Single-runway luxury market with ski-season surge and Yellowstone summer overlap.
How much could an acre near JAC earn as parking?
About $477,785 a year in gross revenue per paved acre, as a planning estimate. The math is 85 spaces per acre × $28 average daily rate × 55% blended occupancy × 365 days. That is about 70% above the Mountain West median of $281,552 per acre on this list.
The $28 rate is about 87% above the $15 median across all 50 airports we track. At that rate, a 3-acre lot near JAC models to about $1,433,355 gross and a 10-acre lot to about $4,777,850, before shuttle, labor, insurance, technology and property tax. Operating costs usually take 35–50% of gross, so the owner's share depends on the deal structure.
How crowded is the off-airport parking market near JAC?
We estimate 3 active off-airport operators near JAC, or about 138,333 annual boardings per lot. The Mountain West median on this list is about 110,000, so JAC has more travelers per competing lot than most peers, a sign of room for new supply.
Most off-airport traffic near Jackson arrives via Highway 89. Parcels with direct visibility from that corridor and a drive of under 10 minutes to the terminal curb are the strongest candidates. Competitor counts are estimates from listings and site visits and change as lots open and close.
What would it cost to pave a parking lot near JAC?
In Wyoming, Wins Parking's planning estimate for asphalt is $3.12–$7.28 per square foot, or about $135,907–$317,117 to pave one acre before design and permitting. Against $477,785 of modeled gross revenue per acre, the paving outlay equals roughly 3–8 months of gross revenue.
A gravel overflow lot costs far less up front ($0.52–$2.60 per square foot in Wyoming) but needs annual regrading and does not meet ADA rules for accessible stalls, so it usually serves as phase-one or peak-season overflow near JAC rather than the main product.
Who controls on-airport parking at JAC?
Jackson Hole Airport Board controls the on-airport garages and surface lots at Jackson Hole Airport. We estimate about 18 acres of on-airport parking, or roughly 23,056 annual boardings per on-airport acre. The higher that ratio, the more often official lots sell out on peak days and push travelers to private lots.
On-airport parking management contracts at JAC are awarded through Jackson Hole Airport Board procurements. Wins Parking responds to those solicitations for parking management, shuttle and revenue control, and separately partners with private landowners off airport property.
Which other Mountain West airport parking markets should owners compare?
Owners weighing a parcel near JAC often compare it with other Mountain West airports, where boardings, daily rates and competition differ. Each airport page carries its own revenue model and a written feasibility offer for land within 10 miles of the terminal.
