"We'll live here, someday"

Bill Briggs on Snow King, community, and the early vision of life in Jackson.

A short vignette from my Snow King oral history project capturing the voices that shaped the Town Hill — and the culture that grew around it.

It's been a bad year for snow - 1963 was worse!

A little perspective from the Town Hill Archives.

Thanks to Jackson Hole Public Art for supporting this oral history project and helping keep these stories alive. Small, independently run ski areas are the heart of the sport and Snow King is one of the best.

The Allman Brothers were my first live show, Great Woods, MA, maybe 1992?? A few years later I got to see the Grateful Dead, June 15th, 1995; Highgate, VT.

Almost 35 years later my taste in music hasn’t changed much and it was a true honor to get to photograph some of the incredible musicians that are carrying forward the legacy of the music that has played such an important and consistent role in my life.

Huge thanks to @lisahadleybetts @duanebetts & @jimcann for including me and to all of the musicians for playing one hell of a show!

Some 35mm film shots from a recent 4 night trip on the Stillwater Canyon section of the Green River.

We decided to use stand up paddle boards, which are now my favorite method for multi-day river travel.

This winter myself and two friends attempted the Haute Route, which is a multi-day ski traverse, that starts near Chamonix, in the Mont Blanc valley and ends at the foot of the Matterhorn, in Zermatt, Switzerland, covering a little less than 100mi, in the high Alps.

We encountered the full range of weather, including some beautiful sunshine, but it was a late season storm that forced us to bail out a day early, into the small town of Arolla, Switzerland, where we spent the next few days sampling schnapps and skiing the local hill, that was served by a couple really sporty rope tows.

Hands down one of the best trips of my life.
