This is the right answer. Big Walls, Boulders and Endless ski tours all minutes from town. 

Maybe look at Cody? Close to great backcountry skiing, if sleeping giant opens you have a resort. Ice climbing is out of this world, and you can likely find south facing rock to climb all winter...

Skiing in lander is a huge drawback. They do have nordic in South Pass, I think they groom the golf course or something in town...otherwise, it is off to Pinedale or Jackson for resort. Pinedale is a better option. Climbing community isn't huge but it is there... The wind river range is magical for climbing.
