It’s becoming a bit tyrannical at this point. Every year, same thing. Jackson Hole is to skiing what the Patriots are to the NFL. You take away the copious snowfall and you’re still left with the best fall lines and terrain. Take away the tram and you still have a gondola that covers 2,500 feet of vertical. New England was denied Tom Brady and the team still managed to go 3-1. Jackson Hole does the same for skiers. Last season, the resort opened the Teton Lift, which accesses a bunch of terrain that has always been in-bounds, but was skied less often than anything else in the resort, and less often than much of the side country and backcountry terrain for which Jackson is so well known. Off its skier’s-left flank, Teton offers amazing views of the Tetons and fun little gladed shots down the north end of the resort. Off the right, there’s a big apron groomer plus a few hidden powder fields in the trees. And the place just made a key off-season acquisition this year: yet another gondola. It’s not even fair...
“Wilson, Wyo.: A Low-Key Ski Town for America’s Wealthy” Wilson, Wyoming was featured last December in the Wall Street Journal after being ranked No.1 in the U.S. in the average adjusted gross income ($296,778), according to IRS data. In the tiny town of Wilson, Wyo., residents eat trout and eggs at Nora’s Fish Creek Inn. On Sunday nights, they head to the Stagecoach Inn for a secular yet hallowed event called Sunday Church to dance to the same swing bans that’s played there 47 years. http://www.wsj.com/articles/wilson-wyo-a-low-key-ski-town-for-americas-wealthy-1479396558 JACKS ONH OLELU XU RYR EP ORT.COM 49
