If you’re in search of a laid-back ski vacation with virtually guaranteed powder, then Grand Targhee should be top-of-mind. Grand Targhee is located in the heart of the Teton Mountains, and experiences a whopping 500 inches of legendary powder a year. Grand Targhee consistently ranks as one of North America’s top resorts for powder hounds; in fact SKI magazine once called it "a place that dumps.”
The resort is just 12 miles from Driggs, Idaho, and a quick 90 minutes from Jackson Hole airport or Idaho Falls airport, making it an incredibly accessible ski vacation. Those on a budget looking for uncompromising on- and off-mountain quality will be pleasantly surprised on a Grand Targhee ski vacation. While the resort still retains its cool, blasé vibe, Grand Targhee has experienced some recent upgrades, including a new road and new detachable quad chairlift, which accesses an additional 500 skiable acres on Peak Mountain and brings Targhee’s total to 2,602 acres.
Grand Targhee skiing is spread over two mountains: Fred’s Mountain and Peaked Mountain. The terrain features everything - powder bowls and well-spaced, intermediate glades to tight, technical trees. Intermediates will be pleased to learn that 70 percent of Grand Targhee’s terrain is meant for them. There’s nothing like Grand Targhee’s fresh corduroy after an overnight snowstorm. More advanced intermediates or those looking to try powder skiing will love Grand Targhee. Since crowds are minimal, it’s easy to find fresh tracks and none of the runs are too steep. Expert and extreme skiers and snowboarders looking for adventure will rejoice in Grand Targhee’s cat skiing, sidecountry and backcountry skiing options.
