Sunday, June 24, 2007 Teton Village Area


My guest blogger is back! Only because there isn’t much to talk about, and she drags things on better than anyone I know.
No applause this time??
Today was another laid back day. Matt washed the bike and I washed clothes. Our highlight was having dinner with Jamie and Lisa Walter at Calico Italian restaurant over by Teton Village. We learned many interesting facts about living year round in Jackson WY; nearest department store is in Idaho Falls, 1 ½ hours away, no Wal-Mart or Target, but there is a Kmart, minimal street lights, restaurants stop serving dinner about 9, and the town has a volunteer fire department. This last fact played havoc with them when Jaime’s house burned to its' foundation last year. It was a nice day in May and the different volunteers were out enjoying the weather. But these facts show how spoiled I am. Jaime and Lisa both seem very happy with their lives here and their lives together. They are newlyweds, and shared their wedding photos with us. What a beautiful wedding in Mexico! I loved the fact that all guests were barefoot, except for the dads. Before dinner, we went to the Teton Village area. This is the main ski area for Jackson Hole. It has 116 runs on 2500 acres. There are 12 ski lifts, one being the Bridger Gondola. One gondola can take 8 people up 3000 feet to about 9000 feet above sea level. This is not the top of the highest peak in that area, but it was a beautiful view. There was a deli, snack shop and restaurant at the top. We shared a large cookie, and had some pop on the deck, it was so relaxing. By the way, if you are interested in buying a condo at the Four Seasons resort here, there was one for sale for $8 million about 3 years ago. Sad that even winning an Ohio lottery might not provide for this purchase!
