Businesses in Jackson could benefit from public money for homeschooled students. A study of trails near Snow King shows bikers and bears can coexist. We talk with Jackson filmmaker and pro skier Vanessa Chavarriaga Posada about her own ambivalences with a majority-white sport. And we get inside the mental, emotional calculations for an age-old Jackson question: Do I deserve to live here? 

Featured music: “Here Comes the Rain” by Henry Pepin and the Moguls.
