Glenwood st., Jackson; 800-753-1421 or 307-739-1570; www.alpiinehouse.com; doubles from $110, including breakfast. Olympic Hospitality At The Alpine House Teton Home, Fall/Winter 2002/2003 by Rob Marin. Guests always get the gold. Visitors to the Tetons are a mixed bunch. Some are seeking rugged adventure like rock climbing and backcountry skiing, devoting the lion's share of their trip to roughing it. Others come for the magnificent scenery or downhill skiing but want to be pampered daily with fine food, a great room and friendly local hospitality. Lodging properties in Jackson Hole typically cater to one crowd or the other, but at Hans and Nancy Johnstone's The Alpine House, both ends of the spectrum are likely to feel right at home, in large part due to the hospitality of the innkeepers themselves. A luxurious inn with an informal atmosphere, The Alpine House blends Scandinavian design, country style and an adventurous, outdoor spirit. Whether for one night or a whole week, a stay is akin to visiting a couple of congenial friends dialed in to the Teton outdoor scene;who also happen to own a great house in downtown Jackson. The Johnstones' place features a bistro-like open dining area with an enticing combination of ivory walls, warm pine trim, heavy timber beams and plenty of sunshine. Here guests can enjoy a gourmet breakfast or optional dinner during the winter season. A whimsical Viking mural, painted by local artist Greta Gretzinger and inspired by Hans' Norwegian descent, graces the espresso bar, which is only steps from some fireside reading in the intimate library. Fireplaces and down comforters warm the cozy guest rooms, which also draw their character from antiques and custom-built beds. The look and feel of the inn grew directly from the Johnstones' personalities, interests and backgrounds. Both Hans and Nancy are unfailingly personable, and they welcome guests with the decidedly faded blue-jean demeanor of grown-up mountain-town ski bums. Both learned the sport as part of active New England families; both are climbers, travelers and Olympic athletes. Hans' mother came from Norway, where children start skiing about the same time they learn to stand on two feet. She can't help it, he says of her life-long affliction. Neither could he. He grew up in Massachusetts, where his father ran a Nordic ski program and the sport was a family tradition. He began competing in high school and went on to become a five-year member of the United States Ski Team, participating in the Olympic Nordic combined (cross-country skiing and jumping) event at Calgary in 1988. Nancy grew up schussing the slopes near Stowe, Vermont, switching her focus to the more aerobically demanding Nordic combined discipline during college. She joined the Army National Guard in the 1980s for their biathlon (Nordic skiing and target shooting) training program and ultimately competed in the Olympics at Albertville, France, in 1992. She met Hans in 1986 at an annual Nordic training camp in West Yellowstone. Together they have traveled throughout Europe and Russia, ski touring and competing. Hans worked as a civil engineer when they first moved to Jackson, and although they had always thought about opening a business together, neither envisioned becoming innkeepers, despite the fact that Nancy's father had run a motel back in Stowe. We were going to open a bagel shop, Nancy says, but Pearl Street [Bagels] beat us to it.. In 1991 the pair bought a fixer-upper cabin not far from Jackson's town square. When they realized the town had designated the area as a lodging district, they decided to get into the hotel business. They had to hit us over the head with [the idea], Hans jokes. He says they only bought the property because it was the cheapest place in Jackson. The old cabin was moved to the back of the lot, and construction began on The Alpine House. The Johnstones designed their inn like a European country house;instead of following the massive log lodge trend so prevalent in Wyoming. They had raced and ski-toured in Norway together, and both were impressed with the clean lines and open, brightly lit interiors of Scandinavian country homes and ski huts. We didn't want a cookie-cutter look, Hans says. They were nervous about committing to their own business, but they also enjoyed the creativity of coming up with a unique design. It was actually pretty exciting, Hans says, though the stress was sometimes a little more than you like. Their taste is evident in the attention given to the interior of the living area, including century-old recycled timber ceiling beams and the radiant-heated, rustic tile floor. However, they did get some help from their families in furnishing the place. Hans' and Nancy's mothers scoured New England antique shops, and Hans' parents drove their finds all the way to Wyoming. They opened in July 1994 with seven rooms and scraped by for years, running the place by themselves. Nancy did all the cooking and Hans brought in extra income guiding Teton climbers (for the world-renowned Exum Mountain Guides) and skiers (for Valdez Heli-Ski Guides in Alaska). Not above the ordinary chores of winter, he even shoveled snow off the roofs of Jackson Hole homes. At times the work overwhelmed them. It seemed like a nightmare, Nancy says. We had no experience or training. We'd just wing it.. But wing it they did. In 2001 a major addition and remodeling job expanded The Alpine House to 22 guest rooms. Most feature gas-fired white porcelain stoves and beds specially crafted by a Bozeman furniture maker. Hans and Nancy moved into a separate residence and hired a staff, which has freed them from many day-to-day tasks. Now in more of a managerial role, they have some additional personal time, though they still put in plenty of hours. Typically starting work at 5:30 a.m., they might escape for a ski by midafternoon. More importantly, they can devote time...
