It might be the 60th Anniversary of JHMR, but these six decades barely scratch the surface of JHMR's history. The new film "Layers of Time" celebrates the work that took place long before people thought about strapping planks to their feet and sliding downhill—long before humans walked the Earth, even. The real story is written in the ground beneath us. A ~9-million-year-old saga starring a mountain range that is still growing. As JHMR celebrates its 60th, it'd be remiss to not celebrate the fault line that produced our favorite fall lines. It is a tale of the Tetons’ geologic and tectonic wonder—the story of how our favorite mountain resort came to be and how the unique terrain we love was shaped. Step into "Layers of Time" and experience the ascent of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Watch it in the link in our bio.

We can't decide if we're more excited for the Lost Whiskey Spirits Tasting (2/26, at the Four Seasons), the Big Wines, Small Plates dinner (2/27 at the Cloudveil), the Pinot Noir tasting (2/27 at the Four Seasons), or the Winter Grand Tasting (2/28) at this winter's Jackson Hole Food & Wine Winter Fest. Don't even get us started on the Wine Dinner at 9,000 Feet (2/27, at the top of the JHMR Bridger Gondola), which, of course, is at the top of our list of favorite winter events.

Tickets for all of these are now on sale. (See link in our bio.) Hope to see you at a few of these!

Heading into this weekend like skinners in search of fresh powder.

One of the many amazing things about Jackson Hole is how different it is in summer and winter. Looking at the landscape today, you'd never guess that it was full of arrowleaf balsamroot flowers less than five months ago!

Some fun arrowleaf balsamroot facts: Nearly all parts of it were used as food by various Indigenous groups. The roots may be baked or steamed and eaten, as well as the young shoots. The immature flower stems could be peeled and eaten; the flowers themselves are good browse for wildlife. Balsamroot seeds are nutritious and oil-rich, another good source of food. The root could be used as a coffee substitute. It was also used medicinally.

Only seven more months until they're out again!

It's been five years since the National Museum of Wildlife Art released its first episode of "Bisoncast." A new episode is available today; it takes a close look at artist Greta Gretzinger's mural "Wild About Art," which hangs in the NMWA's classroom, and also visits Greta in her studio in Teton Valley. Her mural includes more than 30 semi-hidden art history references.

An ongoing series of 10- to 20-minute educational films that weave together learning about artwork in the Museum’s permanent collection with related experiences in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, "Bisoncast" brings the NMWA and the wildlife and landscapes that surround it to a global audience.

Watch the episode, and the entire series, via the link in our bio.

Tickets for one of our fav events of the year go on sale today (Nov. 12)!

“Alice in Wonderland meets Elton John.” That’s how the creative crew at RMC describes its vision for the 23rd Annual Library Benefit at the Four Seasons on December 12. Tickets to the party, which has cumulatively raised $2.38 million for the Teton County Library, are $250 (general entry, at 7 p.m.) and $500 (early admission, 6 p.m.,) are $500. Buy them via at tclibfoundation.org (or the link in our Instagram bio).

While “Alice meets Elton” is how RMC describes the party’s décor and vibes, the official theme for this year is “Luma.” “We’re doing unique plays on colors and textures that we haven’t done before,” said Lanae Dunn, RMC’s senior operations manager.

“It will really allow guests to show their personalities with attire that you wouldn’t normally get to wear in Jackson, or really at formal events anywhere. You’ll have the chance to walk on the wild side,” Dunn said. Both men and women should think sequins, velvet, jewel tones, vibrant colors, and feathers. Find outfit inspo in our carousel.

The entertainment at this year’s benefit will be “enhanced” over what’s been seen at prior benefits, too Dunn said. Previously, benefit attendees have watched aerialists and belly dancers, retreated to ho**ah lounges and grabbed flutes of champagne from anonymous hands emerging from a living wall. “We’re working closely with our entertainment partners to develop things that no one will have seen before,” said Camryn Anonson, creative services manager at RMC. “We pride ourselves not just on the level of luxury, but of creativity.” One benefit in the early 2010s made it “snow” inside the Four Seasons’ ballroom.

A new restaurant opening during the off-season? A restaurant serving authentic Mexican eats and with a name taken from a Hebrew name? Meet Jireh’s Tasty Cravings, which longtime local Marcela Badillo recently opened in Grand Teton Plaza. (Jireh appears in Genesis and is most often translated as "The Lord will provide" or "The Lord is my provider.")

The restaurant serves tortas, quesadillas, gorditas, chilaquiles, carne asada taquitos, fresas con crema (strawberries with cream), esquites (street corn), agua fresca (fruit juice) and milkshakes . The milkshakes are Mexican-inspired, including a Gansito flavor, which includes a blended Mexican snack cake.

“We want to share with our community, our white community, what we have from where I came from,” said Badillo, who is from Tlaxcala, Mexico.

Jireh’s is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Have plans for tonight (11/7)? From 5–7 p.m. at the National Museum of Wildlife Art, enjoy Pairs (Pears) & Prosecco. Celebrating the opening of the museum's “Two of a Kind?” exhibition, which is curated around artwork sharing visual or thematic elements, the event pairs fresh pear frangipane tarts from Salt Maven Catering and sweet Prosecco from TLS with the artworks.

“Two of a Kind?” takes a deep dive into the museum’s permanent collection, and even borrows some pieces from other museums to pair up sets of works that “go together” on one level or another. The goal is to provoke viewers to reevaluate their own preconceptions.

While many of the 340+ species of birds identified in Jackson Hole have begun their migrations south, last week great blue herons were still to be spotted at Oxbow Bend.
