Holistic Healing Complementary therapies offer diverse paths to pain relief—without pills. // By Bevin Wallace My orthopedic doc said I was wasting my money and time when, after almost two years of MRIs, steroids, injections, and PT, I told him I was going to see a chiropractor for my ongoing hip pain. “There is no evidence that chiropractic works,” he said, sighing. To which I replied, “At this point, it can’t hurt.” After about six weeks of regular visits to the chiropractor, who I’d heard was a “miracle worker,” my pain was gone. I didn’t even need the daily dose…

Hot Stuff Fireplaces can take many forms. // By Lila Edythe I love my current home in East Jackson. It has lots of natural light, fun colors on the walls,  amazing decks, and all of the appliances work. And yet, several times every winter—never in the summer—I wish myself back to a mold-infested, barely insulated apartment that had a hole in the ceiling in the living room and no water pressure in the shower. Why do I wish myself back there? It had a wood-burning stove. I don’t miss the three tedious and tiring days my roommates and I spent splitting…

Still a Hoot In its 31st year, the acoustic music gathering the Hootenanny continues to delight performers and audiences. // By Jim Stanford Smoke wafted from the campfire beneath the Moose bridge late one July night in 1958 as a motley band of climbers and folk musicians huddled around the riverfront campsite of Bill Briggs. An aspiring climber and ukulele player working for the summer on a highway crew, Briggs had boiled tea in a big black kettle and poured a bottle of cheap wine from Dornans into it. When the pickers and singers arrived, about 8 or 10 in…

Old & New Mixing traditional Western and wildlife art with modern pieces can create a more interesting collection and interiors. // By Maggie Theodora “I see a movement away from art that’s expected in a home, either in tone or style,” says Chad Repinski, director of Jackson’s Diehl Gallery. “Collectors are shunning the idea of ‘matchy-matchy,’ which can free them to install art that stands on its own.” In Jackson Hole, this movement away from the expected and matchy-matchy means collectors and homes that increasingly blend traditional wildlife and Western art with contemporary/modern art and aesthetics. Twenty years ago, traditional Western…

Snake River Grill’s  Potato Pancakes This elevated, iconic take on hash browns got its first refresh in 30 years. // By Samantha Simma Years pass and seasons change, but you can always find the Potato Pancake on the menu at the Snake River Grill. The version on the menu this winter looks a little different though (more on that below). The starter is as much of an institution as the fine-dining restaurant itself. Since its founding in 1993—it’s been in the same location just off Jackson’s Town Square since it opened—the Grill’s accolades have included being nominated for Best Chef…

In the Raw Although we’re 1,000 miles from a coast, Jackson Hole takes its sushi seriously. // By Helen Olsson In the 1970s, a sushi bar named Osho opened in Los Angeles, catering to Hollywood celebrities. Over the next few decades, sushi grew in popularity, but most people wouldn’t touch a spicy tuna roll in a landlocked state with a 10-inch chopstick. Today, Jackson Hole’s robust array of sushi offerings debunks the myth that you can’t get amazing sushi anywhere but in coastal cities. Global aviation and improved refrigeration technologies continue to decrease the time from boat to plate. Fish purveyors…

Wyoming Wine The grapes come from California, but Jackson Hole Winery does everything else to make its award-winning wines in a barn in Wilson. // By Helen Olsson  During college at Sonoma State University, Anthony Schroth took a wine business class that required an internship. Stomping grapes at a Napa Valley winery planted the seed for an audacious idea: to start a winery at an elevation of 6,229 feet on his family’s 17-acre property in Jackson Hole. “I knew I wanted to have my own label,” Schroth says. The property’s 100-year-old dairy barn with Grand Teton views, he figured, would…
