A Letter from Caitlin
I am thrilled to be sharing with you our updated “flipbook” owner newsletter. Partnering with the marketing team at Noble House certainly has its perks, and I hope you enjoy the new f
Spring in the Tetons couldn’t have been better. Jackson seemed to come alive after the spring rains subsided, and I m everything it has to offer before the masses migrated into town.
I joined Terra owners, Ryan and Kristy Rans, at the top of the gondola for the start of the annual Jackson Hole Wine bites from area restaurants and sipping whites, reds, and bubbles from national vintners. The views were spectacular; however, was learning that I have a secret skill in hatchet throwing. Dress, heels, and a left-handed toss landed me a and a blush of pride. Corey Milligan, owner of Mountain Man Toy Shop and creator of New West Knifeworks, a store Moo’s Ice Cream on the Square, has a stump mounted behind his shop, so I encourage you too to channel your inner try your hand at hatchet throwing the next time you are in town.
After sharpening my axe, I found myself chasing down the rapids on the Snake River. A friend’s boat guided us throu Kahuna, and not pictured here was an epic and slow slip out of the boat. The laughs kept (and keep) coming, and sun flip flops all stayed on!
My last spring exploration brought me up a few switchbacks, over a few gentle boulders, and to Delta Lake. It is onl beaten track—the trail begins at the Lupine Meadows trailhead—but, your trail divergence is marked with a faded, sp and cairns guide you to the lake in lieu of trail signs and mileage markers. The lake is Caribbean green and The Gran and prominently at the base of the lake. Delta Lake has most certainly topped my list as places to enjoy a

Introducing It is with great pleasure that we welcome Will Farrow as Hotel Terra’s new Hotel Manager. I have had the joy of working with Will over the past 12 years through the Four Seasons and Teton Mountain Lodge, all along knowing his goal of one day being at the helm of Hotel Terra. His love of Jackson is apparent in every conversation, and this enthusiasm and energy will undoubtedly translate from our employees to our guests and to your ownership. On his days off, Will challenges himself to hike the Crest Trail, discover the backcountry (no small feat for a snowboarder), and explore new mountain bike trails. Will looks forward to increasing the service ethic and standards of the building, bolstering team confidence, and living the work hard play-hard mountain town mentality. He looks forward to meeting each of you, as he engenders the next wave of Terra culture through the building.
#7 IN THE U.S.
Hot off the Press Travel + Leisure’s Annual Top 10 List has a spot (for the second year in a row) on its ‘Top 10 Resorts in the U.S.’ list for Hotel Terra! Lucky number 7 in fact. Even Letterman’s top 10 lists didn’t make us smile this brightly. In addition, Terra ranked #30 in on their World’s Best Resorts List, and reached the 24th spot for the Best Family Resorts in the Continental U.S. Look for this copy of Travel & Leisure (worth framing) on the August newsstands.
Airlift It is easier than ever to land in Jackson. This winter seats will increase by 15%. This includes daily Newark direct flights February 6 – April 3, which doubles last year’s offerings, and Delta will have weekly JFK flights February – April 26. American will fly from Chicago and LA. LA continues to be an emerging market with all 3 carriers—Delta, American, and United—delivering direct flights.
Q2 in Review It has been awhile since we have had an elongated summer season, but with the June that we had—up a tick in leisure business and increasing 42% year over year in group business—summer is 4 months long. Our hats tip to Erik Dombroski, our new Director of Sales, as well as the lodging tax’s funds targeting off-season marketing efforts.
Q3 Pace We are pushing rate this summer, as it grows considerably over Summer 2014, and occupancy levels are holding at 2014 levels even with this rate increase. Summer pace is up 19% when compared with the same time last year. Our leisure guests continue to book with a short booking window, but do not seem to be rate resistant We therefore look forward to additional in the month for the month bookings in July, August, and September.
The Holidays in Jackson Hole The holidays are filling up. Please book by August 1 if you plan to join us over the 2015 Holiday Season. Also, mark your calendars for December 19th: the official JHMR 50th Birthday Party!
Jackson Hole’s 50th Anniversary The evolution of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort was kick-started in the early 1960’s by the passionate dream of its founders, Paul McCollister and Alex Morley. From humble and rugged beginnings, this dream was fully realized decades later with the ingenuity of a family with historic ties to the Cowboy State. In their tenure of ownership since 1992, the Kemmerer family has invested greatly in the prosperity of Jackson Hole and the state of Wyoming. With vast improvements to operations, lifts and infrastructure, they have ushered Jackson Hole Mountain Resort into its present-day luster and world-wide iconic status as “The Big One.”
