I was doing some research today and was surprised to find the amount of listings from $200,000 to $350,000 now listed in Jackson Hole.  Some of these could definitely be possibilities for first time home buyers trying to make it in Jackson or for the investor looking to rent.  Check the link below for 36 listings in the Jackson Hole area similar to this listing on W. Deloney for $299,500.

Here is your Jackson Hole Snow Report.  It's still snowing!  We got another foot of snow over the last couple of days and the forecast is for more.  Not huge dumps, but everything helps and the word is that this weekends skiing is going to be great. 

Here's a young bachelor herd of elk that has been hanging out next to my office.

We won the Idaho River Lottery! We drew the Middle Fork of the Salmon River. 

The Middle Fork of the Salmon River originates with the merging of Bear Valley and Marsh Creeks. It begins as a small, quick stream close to 6000 feet above sea level. The flow increases more than five-fold as it flows north over 100 miles before its confluence with the Main Salmon River. The upper river runs through a tight canyon covered with Douglas fir and lodgepole pine. As the canyon opens, the landscape features ponderosa pine, sagebrush and mountain mahogany. The Middle Fork travels through 3 National Forests: Challis, Payette and Salmon.

For the last 20 miles, the river tumbles through the famed Impassable Canyon, which features almost vertical batholith granite walls that tower thousands of feet over the river bed. Here the hiking trails head out past Bear Creek and only rafters and kayakers can journey through this section. As you exit this canyon, the Middle Fork meets the Main Salmon River, which journeys west and eventually joins up with the Snake River.

There are supposed to be some very nice drops and we'll be going during high water.  If you have done this section, please post some pictures or comments!
