Couloir, a new on-mountain restaurant opening in June
(Teton Village, Wyo., April 23, 2007) Couloir is far from ordinary dining. It's a total dining experience like no other in Jackson Hole. A friendly greeting and an exciting eight minute gondola ride start the experience. Breathtaking views entertain diners as they quietly ascend nearly 3000 vertical feet to Couloir, located at 9095 feet, high in the Tetons. Warm hospitality, a beautiful atmosphere, magnificent scenery, fine western cuisine, and superb service await the Couloir diner. The Executive Chef, Wes Hamilton has created an extraordinary Western menu (sample menus - lunch and dinner) to excite any palette. He cares about his diners and will consistently keep the menu fresh reflecting the seasonality of Jackson Hole. Recently returning to Jackson, where he previously led kitchens at the renowned Jenny Lake Lodge and Four Seasons Resort, Wes and his team will be offering a five or three course fixed price menu each night that matches the magnificence of the surroundings . From the moment guests step off the gondola, they will sense JHMR's concern for protecting the fragile environment with attention to recycled products, renewable lyptus woods and solar enhancement in the sustainable building design . The menu will reflect high quality organic ingredients, produced locally where possible. "We anticipate Couloir will give our guests something new and memorable to experience. "We are very excited to be able to offer our guests this distinct level of service that has previously been unavailable on-mountain," commented Jerry Blann. "It is part of our long term capital investment plan to provide unparalleled guest service year round at the Resort." Jackson Hole Mountain Resort is third party ISO certified as a "green" company, the second of only two ski resorts, and one of the smaller companies in the US, to achieve this recognition. ISO 14001 certification is the most widely known and respected environmental stamp of approval, which demonstrates responsible management of our environmental impacts.
