Grand Targhee Ski Experience

Grand Targhee Resort takes great pride in its charming western hospitality, great value and commitment to protecting the natural beauty and resources surrounding the resort. The area is nestled in the western slope of the magnificent Teton Mountains, nearby Jackson, Wyoming. It’s an area brimming with breathtaking views, stunning natural scenery and dramatic vistas from atop the Tetons. The full-service resort provides guests the comforts of home with the luxury of a high-end ski vacation.

The resort normally gets an astounding 500+ inches each season which means powder runs start in mid-November and continue on well into April. This fantastic resort spans two mountains, has more than 2,500 acres of lift-served land plus an additional 500 acres of backcountry. The 70+ trails are catered to all ability levels of skiers, 10% is ideal for beginners, 70% is reserved for intermediate levels and the remaining 20% is advanced/expert terrain. There are over 15 kilometers of Nordic skiing trails and snowcat and backcountry tours available as well.

The Grand Targhee Ski & Snowboard School offers PSIA/AASI instruction at a tremendous value. Beginners rave about the Start Me Up package which utilizes patient and experienced instructors, beginner-specific equipment and carries out the lesson in a relatively remote area of the resort, far from the crowds. Children really enjoy the Mini Moose and Powder Scouts programs which guarantee a great student to teacher ratio and specialized instruction. Intermediate riders and skiers can book the Early Tracks program which gives them unbridled early access to the mountain before anyone else. For more advanced skiers, there is a fabulous Junior and Masters Race School also taught by experienced professionals.

The lift ticket deals are extensive at Grand Targhee and many guests save money on buying multi-day and multi-mountain passes, plus it’s a great way to see more of the surrounding area. However, guests may prefer to stay at Grand Targhee as it is decidedly less crowded and busy than neighboring Teton Village. The slope side lodging at Grand Targhee is top-notch and offers its guests many amenities including daycare, ski and snowboard storage and much more. Book early to receive the best rates on the plenitude of ski and stay specials offered during the season.

There is plenty to do off the slopes as well, Yellowstone National Park makes a great day trip, or stay nearby and take a horse-drawn sleigh ride, a variety of snowmobile tours, spend the day racing down the tubing hill or relax in an outdoor heated poor or hot tub. For the budding botanist, Grand Targhee partners with the Caribou-Targhee National Forest to offer wonderful and complimentary guided snowshoe adventures for those interested in the flora, fauna and geology of this beautiful region.

There’s plenty to see and do in the area and guests who choose to make Grand Targee Resort in Wyoming their vacation destination will be absolutely thrilled with the affordability and enjoyment to be found in this uniquely beautiful region.
