Snake River Sporting Club Mountain Lodge at Teton Village Welcomes Executive Chef Bernie McDonough

Bernie will act as the new Executive Chef at the restaurant in the 2,600- square-foot Snake River Sporting Club Mountain Lodge at Teton Village, a ski- in/ski-out Members' Club just steps away from the mountain's tram and gondola. The Mountain Lodge provides full concierge service, such as valet parking, boot warming and ski-tuning, as well as fine-dining -- all in a personalized intimate setting.

"Bernie joins Snake River Sporting Club with a wealth of knowledge, incredible depth of innovative experience, a great attitude and energy," says Peter Pollak, Managing Partner, DPS Sporting Club Development. "His extensive culinary training is showcased time and again through his dynamic American flavors and global market basket of ingredients."

Trained under the prestigious Brennan family, and having had short-term apprenticeships with numerous certified master chefs and James Beard award winners, Bernie is an invaluable addition to Snake River Sporting Club. Bernie began his culinary career as a prep cook at 45 South in Savannah, GA. By the age of 23, he was named Executive Chef and has since been awarded one Mondavi Lifetime Achievement Award and a place on the medal-winning U.S. Culinary Olympic Team. Bernie has been featured alongside celebrity chefs, Emeril Lagasse and Gunter Seeger, on the PBS Holiday Special, Wining and Dining with Yves Durand -- A Southern Holiday Celebration. More recently, Bernie's breadth of culinary skills can be viewed in his new collaborative cookbook with 10 Speed Press, Savoring Savannah, distributed internationally worldwide.

"Teton Village is a hub for outdoor enthusiasts providing myriad activities year-round; and the Mountain Lodge is a perfect oasis for our members," says Neal Vohr, General Manager, Snake River Sporting Club. "This lodge raises the bar for Jackson Hole and Bernie's addition to the culinary team further guarantees its place as a world-class ski and outdoor destination."

Snake River Sporting Club will release thirty Mountain Lodge memberships (sixteen of which have already been sold pre-season). The luxury lodge will offer full access to members during the winter and will host private parties and special events throughout the rest of the year.
