The new Idaho Potato ad on TV was shot in Wyoming - compare the photos - East face vs West face

I am seeing more and more on television the advertisement about Idaho potatoes. The ad features Denise Austin and at the end of the commercial she appears with the Tetons in the background holding a bag of potatoes that say "Grown in Idaho". I know these mountains very well as we spend our summer ballooning on the other side of the Tetons - the Idaho side around Driggs. I can say that I have flown more in Driggs in the past few years than any other place in the Rockies, so I know both sides of the Tetons. If you look up at the top of Grand Teton (13,775') which leans North- the summit of Teewinot is on the right. From Driggs, Idaho looking at the west face you will find Teewinot on the left side of Grand Teton. So the "Grown in Idaho" shot was taken in Wyoming near Jackson, not Idaho.
