2. In a natural hot spring.

Jackson Hole is near quite a few natural hot springs. Picture the two of you, relaxing in the hot soring, feeling contented by the healing energy of the abundant nature, happily fatigued from a few days of winter sports. You’re chatting amicably or sitting in relaxed silence. Suddenly, you pop the question, tears of joy spring forth, and then you celebrate by continuing to soak in the hot water.

3. On top of a mountain.

You get off of the ski lift, make your way towards the run. You bend down pretending to need to make an adjustment, catch his or her attention, pull out the little box, and ask the question. Kisses, hugs, exclamations of joy, and the most exciting run down the mountain of your lives.

4. At the bottom of the mountain.

This may take more… cleverness than the other plans. Somehow, find a way to ensure that you will be at the bottom of the run when he or she finishes. Before that, though, arrange to have a giant sign saying “will you marry me?” held up by a group of skiers, as you wait in front of them, down on one knee. As she makes her way down the mountain, the sign will come into view, and she will be in complete shock as she realizes it’s you causing all the commotion!
