Thousands of LED bulbs will be wrapped around the famous elk antler arches and strung around the stately trees. The lighting of the Town Square is a breathtaking moment as the bulbs sparkle to life. Children and families delight at the arrival of Santa Claus who enters with a team of sled dogs from Jackson Hole Iditarod.

Grand Targhee Resort Opening

Posted on: November 17th, 2013 by thcAdmin No Comments

The ski and snowboard season kicks off for Grand Targhee Resort opening on November 22, 2013. Lift serviced slopes will once again grace our corner of Wyoming. The mountains surrounding Teton County have recently received over 12″ of snow above 9000′. Snow continues to fall, while weather for the week ahead looks like there is a good potential for some additional snowfall.

Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is due to open on Thanksgiving Day, November 28th. The snowmaking crews have been dealing with some slightly warmer than anticipated temperatures while trying to create some base at lower elevations.

Snow King has started firing up the snow guns when temperatures have been conducive. They are shooting for an early December opening.

The weekend’s snowfall drew a number of locals to Teton Pass to sample the goods. A few hearty souls even made some tracks in town on the King. The parking lot at the top of the Pass was especially full Sunday. There has been some recent avalanche activity around the area, so be safe exploring the backcountry.

Big Red Tours

Posted on: September 3rd, 2013 by thcAdmin No Comments

Big Red Tours is an open top double-decker bus now offering tours of Jackson Hole. The experience is awesome. Sitting in the open air upper deck gives one a fresh new perspective on the world. Big Red allows tour participants to concentrate on the the beauty of the park and the surrounding environment by never having their views interrupted by oncoming traffic. You would never think of this, but with the elevated you do not really observe other vehicles on the road resulting in reduced stress levels which enhance the overall experience exponentially. Wildlife can be easily spotted at a distance and observed from the upper deck, while the lower level provides an enclosed experience with large viewing windows giving participants shelter from the elements.

Sit back and take in the sites with Big Red Tours. They are available for group events, weddings and other special occasions as well. Honestly, after living in Jackson for over 15 years, this is one of the most enjoyable times I have ever had touring around the area. I highly encourage taking advantage of this new and unique way to experience Jackson Hole. Since the upper deck is open air, it provides an excellent platform for photos.

Breakfast in Jackson Hole

Posted on: November 11th, 2012 by The Hole Concierge No Comments

Virginian Cafe

My go to breakfast spot. Get the huevos, you won’t be disappointed. Everything you order will delight your belly.

Corbett’s Cabin Waffles

Don’t miss out on a tasty waffle on top of the world. Inside Corbett’s Cabin, at the top of the aerial tram at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village. The waffle is delicious, and the view can be amazing, served at over 10,000′ above sea level. Tram opens at 9am, line up early for first waffle. The views from the summit of the surrounding valley, on a clear day, are unsurpassed.

D.O.G.=Down on Glenwood

If you are on the go, give DOG a call at 733-4422 to pick up breakfast on the way to your destination. There is a small patio area to dine in. Always fast and filling, DOG is truly a local favorite. Located between Broadway and Pearl street, on Glenwood. They do have an additional, “westbank”, location in the Wilson gas station. Both locations are delicious, they also do lunch. Everyone loves the breakfast burrito, but I tend to lean towards the Kaiser with a little salsa.

Cafe Genevieve

Do yourself some justice.
