Planning an Eco-Scape in Jackson Hole
Hotel Terra, skier's dream and Jackson Hole's green darling, has begun its campaign to lure the winter-ready among us to Wyoming with a lineup of green theme "eco-scapes."
The posh property, which blends rustic appeal with admirable LEED Silver certification, offers an impressive array of green efforts in addition to chic accommodations and superb location. Included in my list of favorites are 90 percent, naturally-lit hotel interiors; 100 percent offset electricity; guest-accessible water stations for aluminum bottle refills; and clever, eco-chic design components (like those recycled seatbelt chairs in the photo below).
Opened last year, the 132-room hotel is tempting travelers with a bevy of packages for the looming season:
Winter Eco-Scape: A four-night package with one day of private guided skiing or ski lesson, a snowcoach tour in Yellowstone, lift tickets to Jackson Hole Mountain Resort for two and a 50-minute spa treatment at Chill Spa, where only 100 percent natural products are used. Starts at $598 per night.
Backcountry Eco Adventure: Jackson Hole is known for its pristine backcountry skiing, and Hotel Terra is known for helping to preserve the very same environment. With this package, you'll get a recycled 2010 Mountainsmith backcountry pack and an apres ski recovery massage; starting at $529 per night.
Ski Green: Combining AAA Four Diamond luxury with sustainable operations, Hotel Terra offers a ski vacation at a whole new level of eco luxury. Rates, which include breakfast and daily ski tickets, start at $234 per night.

Thank you for giving Hotel Terra the attention it deserves, Jackson Hole needs it's hospitality industry to not just talk about sustainable practices with offsets and recycling.
