PAIGE BRYON CURRY’S parents moved to Jackson Hole from Colorado in the early 1970s. “They were just going to come for a season,” says Curry. Except, no.

Whether you have health insurance or not, injury insurance might be worth looking into, especially if you love the sports for which Jackson Hole is famous.
