October 5, 2010 – 11:22 am

Focus is on ‘little’ news during height of season

August 6, 2010 – 3:39 pm

It has been 10 days since my last post here at Teton Realty Today, easily the longest stretch of inactivity since beginning this site late last year. Why the lapse in content?

April 12, 2010 – 10:05 am

Every morning, hundreds of Alpine, Wyoming, residents make the scenic 35-mile drive through the Snake River Canyon to Jackson to work, play, attend schools, shop or visit.

This was taken from Teton Village last weekend before taking a few runs at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. I’ll be out and about all day at open houses and with clients, so see you [...]
