Caldera House, nestled at the base of the southernmost flank of The Teton Mountain Range, is the newest luxury ski lodge to open at Teton Village in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. With $100,000,000 invested in the project and some big names behind it, Caldera House is destined to be Jackson Hole’s most sought after ski-in-ski-out, luxury ski lodge accommodation.

“We deliberately tried to provide not just a great place to stay, but a world-class restaurant, lounge, bar, and retail experience — all available without stepping foot outside of the building,” said Caldera House owner Wesley Edens.

And not going outside might come in handy if one of the Teton’s infamous blizzards happens to strike without warning during your stay.

Read on for a first-look gallery of this stunning ski lodge with common areas and two luxe suites designed by Commune Design out of LA, and just try to contain your envy.

Caldera House’s Old Yellowstone Garage restaurant sports throwback style with burnt orange crescent booth and bank seating, tan leather-upholstered chairs, and a distinctly 1950s French mountain restaurant feel.

Yellowstone Garage’s bar is clad in copper with the same tacking complementing the stools. Sidle up to this pretty penny for a Manhattan cocktail apres ski.

Caldera House definitely didn’t skimp on style when it came to the design of the alpine club and ski locker room.

Each of the eight suites (yes, only eight) features floor-to-ceiling windows, mudrooms, laundry rooms, and balconies with Solus fire pits and gas grills. Patios are also equipped with in-floor heating for year-round use.

All suites have their own living rooms and kitchens, along with bedrooms in two- and four-room configurations.

This particular suite’s living room has taken on a retro-modern design sense with wire-framed chairs and a corner fireplace.

This kitchen’s black cabinet walls, offset by the lighter wood floor, are reminiscent of the birch, pine, and silver maple forests of the surrounding areas.

Hexagonal tile is old news as evident by this abstract-tiled bathroom.

Low ceilings and even lower seating give this kitchen a hominess that is polished a bit by the marble-sided kitchen island.

Cream and calm define this space — a play on the grasses and prairies of Wyoming and the Yellowstone Caldera influenced the styling of this suite’s living room.

This is the American West’s answer to the classic European four-post bed.

Simple, refined, and full of light. For the person who can still manage to cook a meal after a full day on the slopes.

‘The Brutalist’ director Brady Corbet says he’s made no money promoting the film
The director said that he makes more directing commercials than he does making movies.
Adrien Brody in The Brutalist

It can be wonderful to get nominated for a bunch of awards, but The Brutalist director Brady Corbet said that it's not exactly a profitable one. In an interview on WTF with Marc Maron, Corbet said that he hadn't actually made any money promoting the movie.

“This is the first time I’ve made any money in years,” Corbet said, saying that his first real paycheck in a long time came from directing three advertisements in Portugal. “Both my partner and I made zero dollars on the last two films we made. Yes, actually zero. So we had to just live off of a paycheck from three years ago and obviously, the timing during an awards campaign and travel every two or three days was less than ideal, but it was an opportunity that landed in my lap, and I jumped at it.”

John Malkovich said that he rejected Marvel movies prior to ‘Fantastic Four’ over low pay
He explained that Marvel movies took a lot of time, and he wanted to be paid accordingly.
John Malkovich in Fantastic Four

Over the course of its 15 years of existence, Marvel has lured a number of surprising actors into its orbit. We live in a world where Angelina Jolie and Harry Styles have both appeared in Marvel projects (actually the same one).

John Malkovich was one of the last Marvel holdouts, but that's changing with The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In an interview with GQ, Malkovich explained that he had been approached to do Marvel projects in the past, but had always turned them down.
“The reason I didn’t do them had nothing to do with any artistic considerations whatsoever,” Malkovich explained. “I didn’t like the deals they made, at all.”
He explained that he simply wanted more money to work through the conditions required to make a movie on this scale.
“These films are quite grueling to make…. If you’re going to hang from a crane in front of a green screen for six months, pay me. You don’t want to pay me, it’s cool, but then I don’t want to do it, because I’d rather be onstage, or be directing a play, or doing something else," he continued.
Malkovich is, perhaps unsurprisingly, playing villain Ivan Kragoff, also known as Red Ghost in the film. He explained that working on the movie was actually like stage work in some respects. "It’s not that dissimilar to doing theater,” he said, “You imagine a bunch of stuff that isn’t there and do your little play.”

The Manual’s Top Cigar Brands Sampler Deal: 10 for $19.99, While Supplies Last
10 premium lined up

Full disclosure: I don’t smoke cigars. But my partner? Big cigar guy. And after years of watching him geek out on blends, wrappers, and ratings, I know a good deal when I see one. While supplies last, Cigar Page is offering 10-pack samplers from La Aurora, Olivia, and Rocky Patel. We included Cigar Page as one the best places to buy cigars online and now they have a banger of a deal: 10 premium cigars for $19.99 plus free shipping. Even I know that’s a score.

As someone who has been buying stogies for a very particular cigar smoker, I’ve spent enough time listening to his running commentary to recognize these are tried and true winners: Olivia, La Aurora, and Rocky Patel. Each cigar is made with premium long-filler tobacco – this is a big deal – and some are rated as high as 95. High ratings, low price? Seems like a win-win to me.

There are four different sampler sets, each with its own mix of flavors. The ever-so-lovely walking chimney in my life loves to break down all of the little details, subtle notes, and complexities – spicy this, creamy that – but I know they sure smell great and he’s always in a good mood after lighting one up. He has raved about La Aurora’s 107 Ecuador for its smooth, mellow vibe and swears the Corojo 1962 brings the perfect punch. Then there is the Connecticut 1987 – it’s like kicking back with a good book and a glass of wine – pure relaxation.

As for Oliva and Rocky Patel, I hear about them A LOT, in fact, feels like they’re part of the family. When he’s pulling out one of those, I know it is a special occasion, or perhaps just a Tuesday that needs upgrading.
