Vocabulary
as jet‐setting as ...
Hi everyone,
I have some parts that need to be clarified. (I marked them in bold.)
I have some guesses but hope to hear your opinions for sure.
Would you take a look at them and let me know what could be the best probable meaning in the context?
Thank you~

Jackson is as jet-setting as Wyoming gets. The handsome town – which many people incorrectly call Jackson Hole (the ‘Hole’ actually refers to the entire valley) – is set against a stellar Teton backdrop. It’s the kind of place where cowboy meets couture, where moose, elk and bison cruise the valley floor and powder hounds swish down world-class ski slopes. The vibe is playful and slightly glam, but never pretentious. Wander into the Mangy Moose Saloon, packed with ski-bums, tourists, hipsters, ranchers and even the occasional movie star, and you’ll get the idea. Jackson buzzes year-round, and summer visitors can hike, bike, raft and roam to their heart’s content.
