JACKSON, Wyo. —  Santa is out and about today in Jackson Hole, hitching a helicopter ride with Teton County Search and Rescue to visit elementary students throughout the county. He has been spotted today from the sky and is also making a few landings to personally collecting Christmas wish-lists ahead of his busiest night of the year.
