Yay for JetBlue. Boo for the fact that they don’t fly to Jackson Hole. Nevertheless, being tightly tied to the travel industry, interest perks when we hear of, well, good perks like this!
According to www.Gadling.com, JetBlue is waiving bike fees for the month of July in celebration of Tour de France. Such a treat will result in a $50 credit towards say, your gas money to get you from Salt Lake City (the nearest JetBlue stop) to, say Jackson Hole Wy. If you decide to take the trip, we’ll let you park your bike for free and (speaking of perks) all of our awesome hotels are conveniently located along the smoothest of bike paths…not to mention that said bike path connects to the south entrance to Grand Teton National Park…just one mile away. Take a tour!
By far the best way to start your day. Terra Cafe breakfast. Not an early riser? Terra Cafe is open for lunch and also serves delicious pastries and snacks! If you’re there before 11:30, make sure to try the Veggie Wrapsody (pictured above)-and wrap yourself in some serious taste. Good for you too!
Smoked Pheasant Ravioli~Fresh Bacon~Fried Green Wyomatos~Gnocci~Flank Steak Salad~Roasted Beet Salad~Wyomato Salad…..and a whole world of entrees and decadent desserts.

Tomorrow night at the Center for the Arts…an awesome film documenting the evolution of downhill mountain biking here in Jackson Hole.
Friday, June 19: Gravnetic and KGB Productions present “Freedom Riders” Gravnetic and KGB Productions’ new film offers a look at the evolution of freeriding and the progression of trail building in this country. From its days as an activity reserved for the few who rebelled against the spandex clad status-quo, to the multimillion-dollar mainstream sport that it is today, see the true inside story on a group of riders that would never see their passion die. In addition to the film, the benefit will feature a huge raffle, beer from PBR and the Snake River Brewing Company, and an afterparty with a DJ, pizza and drinks at Café Ponza. Doors open at 6:00 p.m. for the 7:00 p.m. screening, 7:45 p.m. for the 9:00 p.m. screening. Tickets cost $10 and are available at the Center Box Office, 265 S.

Indulge In The Ancient Thai Massage: Herbal Poultice
This weekend’s Spa Deal Alert is extra sweet, because it affords the opportunity for longer, restorative treatments (like the herbal poultice pictured above) for the price of a 50-minute treatment. Book a 50-minute treatment and upgrade to an 80-minute for free!
Deal Day: Saturday, May 30′th
Deal: Complimentary upgrade from any 50-minute massage or facial to an 80-minute at Solitude Spa or Chill Spa
Deal Password: “Bliss Out”
And don’t forget, when you book a special Spa Deal Alert, it comes with the entire package. We’re talking sauna, indoor and outdoor Hot Tubs. AND wherever you book, either Chill or Solitudegets you time in either spa’s lounge (healthy snacks? delightful beverages? anyone?) as well as a little something surrounded by serene Alpine views…rooftop Hot Tubs! Spa guests may also take advantage of TML’s state of the art fitness facility with cardio machines, weights and indoor swimming pool.
Before you skip this as “just another travel deal” – as I almost did – consider the combination of mountain air, spa treatments and the taste of champagne. The “Ultimate Chill” package from Hotel Terra Jackson Hole includes all this within a LEED-certified eco-boutique, so you don’t need to feel guilty while enjoying this touch of pleasure.
Get your weary arms, legs and back rubbed back to normal (or better) at the Chill spa, and treat your skin to an organic sugarcane and green tea scrub and a cucumber mint body masque. If you can find a better way to spend an hour and a half, I envy your creativity. Wash down the experience with a split of Veuve Cliquot, and step outside to enjoy the clear Wyoming air.
The catch? You have to go between May 22, 2009 and the last day of September. Pull the trigger, and you’re looking at two nights for $688, sleeping in an all natural Terra Bed.
You can enjoy Jackson Hole if you’re not a hiker or a climber. If you’re traveling with an “outdoor type,” you’ll have a way to spend some time on what you enjoy. Sip that Veuve while your better half is trudging along the trails.
