Wade McKoy was a recent college grad from Mississippi when he first saw the Tetons in 1974.

His trajectory from liftie to world-class ski photographer is, in many ways, the story of the ski industry itself, and that of Jackson Hole.

In advance of his first book documenting 45 years behind the lens, McKoy talks about the early days of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, what it was like to photograph legends like Pepi Stiegler and Doug Coombs and the impact of tourism and climate change on the region.

McKoy’s book, “The Arc of Skiing Jackson Hole,” is available to order online at WadeMcKoy.com.

Following the annual report card for the region’s housing supply, housing czar April Norton is back to delve into the good, bad and hopeful on Jackson Hole housing.

The good: Last year almost 300 people got affordable homes and deed-restricted units made up 63% of the county’s new home construction. In the last 10 years, five homes have been built for every new person added to Teton County’s population.

The not so good: The value of a free market home has gone up 260% in the last decade. And with a steady job increase, less workers actually live in the county.

Norton, director of the town and county’s housing department, is back to talk state of the county’s housing with Jackson’s former mayor, Pete Muldoon.
