The best place to find out what is so special about mountain living is of course, from a local. Special it is, but as we all enter different stages of life, we will inevitably experience shifts in priorities, and sometimes that means questioning the lifestyle choices that we have made.
I was reminded today by the article Yes, we are all tourons , from High Country News of the fact that we are all a little clueless when it comes to stepping outside of our own comfort zones.
In addition to all of the outdoor recreation in this area, seeing live music at an outdoor arena amongst the Tetons can be ski town living at its best. Personally, live music (good live music) transports me to a different world completely … a world, if given the chance, I would frequent often.
With a huge shift in recent years from winter based ski towns to four season resorts, summertime in the Rocky Mountains is the place to be. We now have quite a bit more entertainment to experience, and many more year round jobs. I am not sure that I can say that the traditional off season here in Jackson Hole still even exists. There seems to always be something going on in and around the valley these days.
