jackson hole: Be Bear Aware - 10/22/08 10:04 AM
Wildlife officials are urging Jackson Hole residents to beware of increased bear activity in their area. Bears' appetites increase during the fall so that they can store up fat for their long winter hibernation, where they can go as long as five months without eating. The summer berries are just about gone, leaving the bears to seek out their next food source: whitebark pine nuts. Since the whitebark pine nut crop was only fair this year, Jackson Hole bears are being forced to search out alternative food sources. What does this mean for you? If you live near the typical travel … (0 comments)

jackson hole: Green Building: Fact vs Fiction - 09/04/08 10:49 AM
As more attention is focused on green building, especially in Jackson Hole, some people still seem to be stuck on the misconceptions of the past. For instance, green building is not always an expensive undertaking. This myth has persevered because more high-end projects tend to get builders' attention. The truth is that there are many ways to utilize green building inexpensively by reducting waste, selecting the correct size for the structure's function and so much more. Another myth is that the products used in green building don't work as well as traditional building supplies. The low-flow toilet still gets a bad … (2 comments)

jackson hole: Jackson Hole Mountain Resort Goes Green! - 06/04/08 11:20 AM
The largest consumer of energy in Jackson Hole, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, has committed to offsetting their energy use with renewable energy: geothermal energy, small hydro, biomass and wind. Jackson Hole Mountain Resort (JHMR) uses approximately 9,000,000 kwh per year. Through a program with Renewable Choice Energy, JHMR will be able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 37.5 million pounds. To put this in perspective, this would be the same as taking over 3800 cars off the road or planting almost 5300 acres of fully matured trees. Additionally, JHMR has been fully certified as a third party ISO "green" company. This makes it one … (2 comments)

jackson hole: Moosh or Mush? - 02/13/08 03:51 PM
The correct term is "Mush".
Here in Wyoming "mush" is not breakfast food but a way to enjoy and see the great outdoors.
Most people will first think of breakfast food when they hear the word "mush" and a few think of the word as a dog-sledding term. We are definitely referring to Dog Sledding.
Most people connect Dog-Sledding with the Canadian Rockies or Alaska but you can experience the fun and adventure of dog sledding right here in the Continental USA, at the Great Continental Divide in the awesome state of Wyoming at Jackson Hole.
A unique way to see Wyoming … (2 comments)

jackson hole: Is it Jackson or Jackson Hole, Wyoming? - 02/07/08 01:05 PM
Hello from Jackson, Wyoming. That's right for you out-of-staters it is Jackson, not Jackson Hole Wyoming.
The area was named Jackson Hole back in 1829 by William Sublette, one of our famous mountain men and a partner of David Jackson, who Sublette named the valley for.
Jackson is surrounded by mountains on all sides forming a large valley or hole, thus, the name Jackson Hole.
Jackson Hole lies in the northwest portion of the state of Wyoming and in the central portion of the headwaters of the Snake River. The valley is about 400 square miles (48 miles long and … (1 comments)
