Dude told me he backcountry skies it during the winter, and then goes to the hotsprings and dips in the middle of nowhere (he knows which are safe)
Now that's how to spend a winter's day...

Seems like a proper trip requires a shabbos, no? Seems impossible to do enough sun-Fri, correct (hence you skipping out on Yellowstone)?
Any places for shabbos driving distance?
Life isn't about checking the boxes. Nobody cares.

I'd say so. There's a Shliach in Jackson who provides meals (and sometimes a minyan) IIRC. I have a friend who did that and was quite pleased.

It's supposed to be amazing in the winter but more challenging, most of the park doesn't get plowed and can only be accessed by snowmobile.

Sunday-Wednesday is quite short, especially if you're not planning on flying into JAC. In any case, I'd say one day in the Tetons and the rest in Yellowstone. If you could stay longer maybe do two days in the Tetons.

Just want to confirm, that it is kids accessible "even with a stroller" Also, is it safe with all the wildlife there?

Much of Yellowstone is stroller accessible.

You should be fine with the wildlife as long as you don't do anything stupid (read: taking a selfy while riding on the back of a bison is NOT a good idea...)

Yes.

They're are no gondolas in the park, but there might be some in Jackson or Teton Village just outside.

And if you try to take a picture of the bison that's 6" away from your open car window with a crappy camera you'll probably just end up with a picture like this:

I wouldn't take young kids to Yellowstone, unless they're fine sitting in a car for long stretches of time. There's alot of driving and getting in and out of the car. Unless of course you just do one area which I recommend anyways.
