I stayed here for a weekend. The room was clean. There are shops and food spots. I did a 3 mile hike up the mountain and took the ski lift down. The views were gorgeous including a great view of The Grand Tetons. read more

Hotel Grand Targhee Resort feels like a hidden gem! I stayed in the Sioux Lodge, and the room had an old casa-style charm. There was a cozy bunk bed in the corner with a partition, a main bed, dining table, and sitting area. The balcony offered beautiful views and was perfect for relaxing. It's a ski resort with lots of activities, a nice pool, bars, and a breakfast place. The last 7 miles of the drive were a bit scary--I was the only one on the road--but once I reached the resort, I was so happy I made it. The peaceful vibe, stunning views, and friendly atmosphere made it all worth it! read more

This is a cute little resort. It's probably great for locals if they don't want to make a drive to other resorts. It is very small and the mountains are small but probably good for amateur skiers. read more

I used to ski at Targhee all the time. I am from Idaho Local. I will never ski at this resort again. The fact that they raise their day passes to $170 a day is one thing. When asking them as to why they're raising those tickets up so high and they get offended and I quote "we are blocking you & your negative energy." That is their answer to someone questioning them. Far left liberal quacks. I have been skiing up there since I was a kid in the 80s. The fact that they are catering to the ultra rich just like Jackson Hole says everything that you need to know about this resort. The fact that they do not have any customer service and their excuse to raise ticket prices are to "keep up with operational costs". I have zero respect for this resort or anyone that is employed through this resort. This is what happens when you let big corporate run a ski resort. There's no snow up there this year & they think by raising their prices that that's going to pay for "operational costs". Absurd. I am 5th generation from Star Valley Wyoming. My ancestors homesteaded in Freedom Idaho and Freedom Wyoming. I am a Veteran of the United States Marine Corps who served honorably during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. read more

What a beautiful place! Nate and I stayed at Grand Targhee Resort for three nights recently for our friends' wedding. Checking in was easy and we got the lowdown on all the amenities including a few restaurants and a couple bars, a general store, gift/outfitter shop, and more. Unfortunately we never saw Willie the one-eyed cat who lives at the resort, but I'm following him on Instagram now! Our room was right in the Teewinot Lodge, which is next door to the check in lobby. The double queen room was spacious and had a mini fridge with freezer, microwave, coffee maker, dry guy for wet boots/gloves, iron and ironing board, a small fan, and a hair dryer. There was no air conditioning, but the fan was great with open windows at night. Our first evening, we enjoyed the heated outdoor pool and hot tub, and had the whole area to ourselves. We had food and drinks from the Trap Bar and the Branding Iron grill while there, and everything was great. 99% of the employees we interacted with at the resort were super friendly and kind. The views all around the resort are wonderful, and we took the scenic Dreamcatcher chairlift up to get an even better view of the mountains from up top. There are lots of activities to do, including lots of hiking and mountain biking trails, kids' activities, etc. The rooms are a bit older, so there are fewer outlets than you may be used to in more modern hotels, but we made it work. I'm so glad we got to experience this resort for a few days. There's not a ton around, but you can drive into Driggs or Victor to grab dinner or some groceries. Jackson is about an hour drive from Targhee. read more

Bad news. The primary reason for our choosing Grand Targhee was to take the Dreamcatcher Chairlift. It was June, 2025. Our intention was to take the lift for a hike and the views of the Tetons. We learned on our first morning the chairlift was out of order. Oh no. They had just opened for the season and were not able to check ahead that the lift would operate properly for their opening? They sent us NO notification that this was the case. Otherwise we would have booked a stay elsewhere. Said they posted this on their website - but why check when we had no reason to. They have refused to issue us a refund. We had to notify the desk that the lock mechanism on the door was faulty. The room- besides shabby, was not well cleaned. Sticky residue from a soft drink (?) on the table. BUT - Our main complaint was that the chairlift - the one thing we really really wanted to experience, was kaput. The manager responded to my letter saying the lodging and chairlift are two separate operations. I'm sorry, but THAT'S the big deal there - to go up the mountain on the chairlift. So upsetting and irresponsible. Terrible. read more

I've heard so much great things about this place, yet our experience was very mediocre. Came here to ride for a day to try it out. There's only six lift chairs on the whole mountain, so not a lot of train or a big resort. The train was OK, not difficult or interesting. And on the day we were there due to a little bit of a breeze, it wasn't even that windy, they closed two of the big main chair lifts so only a quarter of the mountain was accessible via the other chairs. It was such a waste of money. Also the chair lifts are super old-school, it does not slow down for you when you're trying to get on the chairlift, and it is very dangerous. They have not upgraded their technology for many many many years. The food selection is also slim, not a lot of variety and high priced to be expected. Overall it was good to try it out once and check it off the list, but we would most likely not return. read more

My wife and I got married here just back in June and had the best experience. First, the resort was perfect for a destination wedding. The little village was a perfect place for all our friends and family to meet and hang out over the course of the weekend. The lodging was perfect for what we needed and there is quite a bit to do at the resort and in the surrounding area so nobody was bored. The wedding festivities were awesome! We had the rehearsal dinner and welcome party in the Trap Bar and it was a riot. The bartenders absolutely killed it, especially because our little welcome party ended up being a pretty big rager at the bar. But the bartenders kept everyone's drinks full and all our guests had a blast. The wedding itself was AMAZING. We got lucky with the weather, but the day of the wedding was so low stress for me and my wife...Madi and her team handled everything including putting up the decorations and pictures we brought. It allowed us to spend the day with friends and family and getting ready which we really appreciated. The lawn where they host the wedding ceremony is beautiful and then right after you have cocktail hour right there on the deck and lawn. Later you funnel down to the tent for the reception which is tucked away in the beautiful Aspen trees. And last, we were able to rent the Trap Bar after the reception for a little after party to keep the party going. Also, the food was amazing! We had multiple people tell us how much fun they had, how pretty the venue was, and how good the food was. Highly recommended for a wedding! Can't wait to come back and ski and mountain bike for some weekend trips in the future Cheers and thanks to Madi and the entire events and catering crew for absolutely killing it! read more

We really liked Grand Targhee. It's part of the Mountain Collective. So, after three days at Jackson Hole we drove across Teton Pass for two days of riding here. Deep powder for both days. This was a fun mountain to ride. Our first day was clear and we went all over the mountain checking out new terrain. By the end of that day another storm was rolling in. It was also a Saturday and we crossed our fingers on the parking lot wait line hoping we wouldn't be turned away. We were in luck and snagged one of the last remaining spots. Off to the lifts, where the lines were long. After finally getting to the summit, it was a whiteout. Wind and snow were blowing everywhere and limited visibility to just a few turns. Riders on the storm. After losing my wife in the whiteout and dealing with a nerve wracking wait to reunite, we decided to opt for the bunny chair and stuck to the lower elevations. Sadly, there were still long lines for a run that was over in a few minutes. I did love those runs through the trees and found powder stashes that newbs had overlooked. We had a great time at Grand Targhee. They could use a few more lifts and something sheltered like a gondi. read more

Skiing 5 stars Everything else 3 stars We got lucky with the weather and skied some of the deepest powder in the 3rd week of February. The amount and the quality of snow was top notch!! I'd say the only other place that compares to Targhee in terms of powder skiing is Niseko, Japan. Not only there was lot of fresh snow on the ground at the beginning of the day, it snowed throughout the day so we had 'free refill' kinda days. Amazing!!! The trees are spaced out perfectly, so it was really fun skiing in the trees (especially off the Blackfoot lift). I don't think I stopped smiling. People are super friendly and down to earth. No Vail or Aspen type attitude here. The not-so-good: The mountain is also known as "Grand Foggy" - and they aren't kidding. The top half of the mountain was pretty much invisible the whole time we were there. Low visibility lens is a MUST! Lifts - they need more lifts!! The line at Dreamcatcher (the main lift) was quite long, especially on Saturday. Yeah, I know, Saturdays are the worst ski days at any resort, but a lot of resorts have multiple lifts to take from the base area (or multiple base areas), so people can spread out. At Targhee, there is only one base and there is really one lift to start your day (ok, 2, if you count Sacajawea). From the top of Dreamcatcher, unless you go off to the Blackfoot lift, you come back down to the base area . . . to get in line at Dreamcatcher again . . . But the good thing is, even though the lift lines are long, the runs are not crowded at all. So it's not like you have to ski with a bunch of people. Parking/Traffic - horrible. We were staying at the Teton Teepee Lodge. It took us 15 minutes to get up to the mountain on Friday, but took us 45 minutes on Saturday!! The uphill traffic in the morning is pretty bad and they don't have enough parking... So keep that in mind if you're going to ski/ride on weekends. I've been to most of top 20 ski resorts in North America (it's my passion). I'd give Targhee a B+. Don't get me wrong, the skiing at Targhee is excellent. It's just that the infrastructure needs some improvement. Would I be back? Heck yeah. Already planning to stay at the Teepee lodge for a week and ski Mon-Fri next season. read more

Grand Targhee Resort - Welcome to the white room ;) - Ski Resorts Near Me - Alta, Wyoming

Big fans. We've skied all over the map-- you name it. We tend to really like the mountains that aren't super grandiose because they feel warmer and friendlier, if that makes sense. We just love finding the little holes and local joints and generally have the best time there. This is more than a local joint-- yes, only 4 lifts, but decent amount of terrain being serviced by the 4. Even with our 7yo and 9yo, we were able to go up all the lifts and especially love the Dreamcatcher that takes you, on a clear day, right to the back of the Grand Teton Mountains. It's just as gorgeous as most other places we've been with those smoking views. We got lucky to have visibility at the top, as we know this is rare! The kids zone area was LEGIT! So much was done to make this a fun place for kids. There was a bobsled area, lots of tree skiing for kids, scavenger hunt decorated trees, terrain park... so much cool stuff! Unsung hero. read more

Stayed at the Sioux Lodge Suites at Grand Targhee the first part of August to mountain bike. The suites are older and could use a face lift. It was still warm enough in the daytime and the evening that it was hot in the rooms because their was not AC units, we had to leave the windows opens. The problem with the downstairs is there were not screen covers and the windows opened all the way at were at ground level. The suite was nice to have a sofa couch upstairs, kitchenette with microwave and refrigerator and bathroom. The downstairs had one queen bedroom, bathroom, and another room with two sets of bunk beds. Great for large families. They had the pool open in the daytime, but it was packed with families so we didn't get a chance to try it out. They only had one lift open to access the trails for hiking and mountain biking. They did limit the number of people staying and they only offered food at a tent outside for lunch and dinner with hot dogs, brats, burger, and sandwich options and a bar with outside seating until 7- 8 pm daily. they had another restaurant open in the mornings for breakfast items to pick up and eat. The trails were the same as the year before, pretty choppy at the top half and then they started to smooth out at the lower half of the mountain. It's a nice place to come and relax if you are willing to travel in the daytime if you want to do something other than hike or mountain bike. read more

The skiing and snowboarding is 5 stars. The lodging is insanely unpleasant. The rooms do not have any amenities like fridge or microwave unless you want to book a 2 room suite that sleeps like 8 people? The only option for small couples was the targ lodge with nothing but two beds and a tv. The beds are rock solid. You can hear everyone outside your room and in the rooms next to you. They have old heaters on the floor that kick on and kick off all night with horrible loud ticking sounds. The heat is so dry we bought a humidifier to stay here. The bathrooms are super outdated. Our tub had patches on it and the toilet took at least 5 minutes to flush and then would run for another 5 minutes. At 6 am a worker came around and started scraping snow off of the roof and in front of our door and again it was loud enough to wake us up. The only plus is there's no bed bugs. My husband enjoyed the pool and hot tub and skiing. We ended up leaving early and booking a room at a hotel in the city. For 200 a night you'd think you would be getting at least some updates facilities we spent under 200 for the new room at the hotel with king size bed, microwave, fridge and an actual bathroom. Edit: I took a video of the sound of the heater all night but it won't let me post. read more

Came here for a ski/snowboarding trip. A really small hidden gem in this area that was wonderful for snowboarding. I think there were 4 lifts each beautifully groomed when I was there. Not packed with visitors like the bigger more popular resorts either. Easy to get around since it was so small. The actual resort was a bit outdated but only stayed there to sleep so not much to complain about. Definitely preferred this one over some of the more well known resorts read more

This review is biased and only based on The fact went drink the summertime and only for a place to spend the night! The scenery is beautiful the staff is great customer service is awesome! However call me dumb but if you're in the Tetons it is a long way all the way over here. Only stay here if you're planning on doing the summer activities. It seems like a lot of the stores and restaurants closed a little bit early and didn't open up till later in the day. Air conditioning at all but then again it's typically a winter resort mountains open the windows. I'm sure this place is just great in the winter time they even have a laundry and they even left the heat running for us when we showed up in July which was a little bit irritating. Only other thing I can think of is it takes a long time for the hot water to get to your room depending on where your room is, but I'm also assuming that's because it's not heavily this summer as a hotel read more

Attended a wedding the first weekend it opened for the summer season. This is the perfect location for an outdoor wedding. The grounds are beautiful. The mountains make a gorgeous backdrop. The food in the trap bar, coffee shop, and catered events was fantastic. The rooms were clean and comfortable. I was most impressed with the staff. They were all friendly and accommodating. The front desk seemed happy to see us. The manager of the coffee shop and restaurant was especially gracious and helpful for me. Every staff member I encountered seemed genuinely happy to help. The wedding was beautiful and perfect. It was a very enjoyable weekend. read more

Three un answered e mails, 2 un returned voicemails, twice on hold for over two hours and still no response from the resort. I have even tried calling the front desk and still cannot reach a single human being. Zero customer service, do not waste your time booking a room here. If they clean the way they answer phones the place is probably disease filled. read more

Grand Targhee Resort - Time on hold! - Ski Resorts Near Me - Alta, Wyoming

Worst experience at a ski resort ever. We waited in line for over an hour only to be told along with our partner season pass we needed an email confirmation of the type of season pass we have. We were told to use their nonexistent wifi to find the confirmation and return to the back of the line - this was by the activities center manager who was no better than any of her staff. My husband used his pass there without issue two weeks ago. We were told that was no longer acceptable and given zero assistance. There are plenty of beautiful ski resorts in this area do not waste your time here. I'm from Idaho and I've been to Targhee many times - I may as well go stand in line at Jackson Hole or the Cottonwoods. Being treated like this is definitely not worth the drive. read more

Such a nice place to ski/board. According to Jackson locals, Targhee usually has better conditions than Jackson Hole. Well, on the day we went, they'd gotten 16 inches in the last 24 hrs and conditions were great. Now when you get a good fresh, deep coating of new snow, the plows can only work so fast to groom runs. That being said, a lot of the runs were not groomed...which was just what we were looking for! According to locals, driving the Teton Pass (WY 22) isn't much of a problem when it's snowing. They said the Teton Pass rarely closes and if it does, it's not for long. Our rental truck was a 4x4 so we weren't too concerned. Parking (midweek) at the hill wasn't a problem either. There's a few nice places to grab something to eat and or drink (see specific post for those reviews). I would have given this place 5 stars, but hill management left us stranded and walking a ways to get back to the base lodge. Apparently, they don't clear ALL runs going to chair lifts before closing it down! So be prepared to walk if you like catching last runs! read more

If you want to be right next to the ski lift in the winter, you're in the right place. And in summer, if you are an avid mountain biker, you have plenty of trails. Other than that - meh. I was in the Targhee Lodge and, as noted, the building is very old and rooms are not air conditioned. The only place the window opened was about 12" at the bottom near the floor. The shower stall was so small that when I had my back to the shower spray, my nose was about an inch away from the wall. People over ~5'8" will find that they need to duck to get their hair wet too. The campground is not near the lodge buildings. I did not check out the area but it looked like the camping spots had absolutely no shade. It also looks like there are no amenities. I did not see any shower building and just porta potties. Because of COVID, the food options are extremely limited. For breakfast, the choices were one of three breakfast burritos. They did say the other option was to go to their little store, buy a frozen breakfast sandwich and heat it up. For lunch, they set up a grill with brats and hot dogs. Dinner had distanced seating either outdoors or indoors - and a limited menu that did not change. So considering the limited options and high prices, if there are more than two people in the party, pay extra and reserve a townhome or condo and bring your own food to cook (you'll save money overall too). As an alternative, consider driving into Driggs, ID to eat. During the summer, they had one ski lift open to transport mountain bikers/bike and hikers to the top. So it does not go to all the trails in the area. I got one pass for the lift when I checked in. It is supposed to be for a round trip but I chose to go up and then hike down. I picked out a path for hiking only labeled as "moderate' - the Bannock hiking trail. It made no mention of possibly tricky footing. Well, it was tricky enough that it took me one hour to go the first mile - rocks and near the edge. After a while more, it got near a cross country/hiking path and started down that instead - a lot easier. But the trails are not labeled so I just kept picking different paths to get down. there are service roads that also go up to the top but these dirt roads have so much loose gravel on them that it was even more dangerous to walk on them. I was grateful that I actually made it down without falling or injuring myself. read more

**VETERANS STAY AWAY** I reserved a room here, along with two other rooms in other locations, through Expedia for a family vacation to both Yellowstone and the Grand Teton National Parks. Sadly, my aunt passed away suddenly in Oregon, to which the services were during our planned vacation week, so we had to cancel the trip. The other two hotels we had booked, were fully understanding, and refunded my money, and even gave condolences. NOT THIS ONE. They first lied ("Charles F."), and told me that Expedia had a strict cancellation policy, and to contact them to try to get a refund. Which I did, but then Expedia came back and stated that the hotel had refused the refund when the Expedia agent contacted them. I contacted the hotel, and, then they doubled down and said it was a non refundable booking and that they would NOT refund, regardless of the circumstances. I explained again that it was an unforeseen family emergency and that I was a disabled combat veteran, and that this was unprofessional conduct. Then, they again refused. HORRIBLE! This was during peak summer tourist season! So what they ended up doing was - ripping me off, and then they rebooked the room and double profited off of it! I'm still pissed about this whole thing, as any veteran or person would be. Financial greed exposed! read more

My original post was three pages long; I went through our entire experience but realized that my life now is more important than stressing over this situation any longer. Good luck trying to plan a wedding here if you aren't local. Communication through phone calls and emails can sometimes go over a week without response. Then there is Suzanne Rees, the Wedding Coordinator. There were numerous accounts of Suzanne being rude and disrespectful towards the bride and groom, along with all twelve "guests" whom were all immediate family members that can attest to such. She made comments such as "this isn't my first wedding" and "this isn't your wedding". We were an inconvenience to her. Not a good feeling, especially as the bride! My wedding was at 3:30pm and she arrived at noon to set-up. She did not try to get to know me, nor what vision I had for my big day. Her arrival time would not have sufficed for the amount of work that needed to be done. Myself and three other family members decorated and merely finished by the time she had arrived. Not to mention she nearly knocked over our florist when she kicked out a table from underneath to attempt to replace the broken one. She radiated tension... Not okay. Never got a congratulations from her either, and she disappeared as soon as her "shift" ended without one word. We were of zero importance to her and she made that perfectly clear. The resort itself caters to skiers/bikers first and foremost. There are no king-sized beds on the entire property. No elevators. No carts for help with luggage (the property is built on an incline). The "honeymoon suite" is a family cabin with bunk beds and a small queen bed up another stair set inside the room (once you've climbed the three flights to get to the fourth floor first). Remember, no elevators. Our patio screen had spider webs covering it and our shower head did not work properly. Nothing "honeymoon" about it. Oh and don't even bother showing up early because check-in isn't until 4pm. And don't even think about asking for early access to the "honeymoon suite" to put in the bride and groom's luggage. Some of my family missed out on photos because they had to stay back and move our stuff since our wedding was at 3:30pm and we didn't have access till after 4pm. Bottom line is that Suzanne Rees has no business being in the wedding field. The resort is basically a ski resort that dabbles in weddings. It is in a beautiful setting and the photos up the lift have such potential. Was it worth the stress and headache? Yes, but because our families made our wedding special, and I credit them for that. This review serves as a warning to any bride/wedding party considering this as their venue. I also posted my review (full story) on Wedding Wire but the resort disputed it. I guess they didn't want people knowing just how terrible our experience was... read more

This particular mountain is unique and rare on its own. Compared to most resorts that gouge you for the expensive part of your day and gouge you for the food you eat, it couldn't be more like the best and perfect mountain to ride as both a beginner or expert as a skier or snowboarder. The staff are always pleased to help and make every experience memorable. I would recommend Ski Trainer Mark as he's always going out of his way to make your experience more fun. This mountain is the "Hidden Gem" of all the resorts combined. Whether just leaning to ride or have been riding for a few years, you will find something special that will leave you saying "I love Targhee" read more

The good old days are gone. I've been skiing Targhee for 30 years and buying season passes for most of the past 15. Not sure I'll do it again. With global warming, the frequent days of massive powder dumps are over. And with the collectivization of inter-area passes, the crowds and congestion make it undesirable to ski there most of the time. The mountain itself is still stunning with a lot of room for skiers and riders, but the infrastructure (parking, lift service) creates a bottleneck that I'm now unwilling to deal with most days. read more

Oh the Ghee! Best hidden ski gem! I don't want to say to much good about it. I don't want it to get too crowded! No lines, no waits, so don't come! Oh wait, the chair lifts are slow and it does get cold there, so don't come! read more

This review is not really about the resort but of the area a little farther (East?) up the Hill where people go to camp and hike into the Targhee and Tetons. The "back side" of the National Park accesible from Driggs, ID is much less crowded than the areas that people flock to from Jackson and there are multiple hiking trails mostly only visited by locals well worth exploring. read more

This place was pretty disappointing for the price you pay & the amount of noise you deal with. I grew up in a tourist town, so I know about dealing with tourism. The views are a slice of heaven though thats a plus. The staff was cleaning a room next door to us & made no attempt to be quiet, or talk quietly about how they were being moved around due to Covid, or how poorly other staff were doing, & playing music pretty loudly while cleaning. $80 for a meal on site is a bit steep, $30 to ride the lift. I guess people will pay it. read more

I grew up skiing Targhee so I'm a little biased. However, I've skied all over the northwest and this hill is amazing. They have improved it so much over the last 20 years and given access to areas that we use to have to hike or Cat Ski to get too. If you're here in the summer they make it a great place for family or big groups. The bars and restaurants are nice. They have biking, disk golf, swimming and a ton more. When all else fails take he chairlift ride for $15 and snag a great view! read more

Grand Targhee Resort - View from the top of the hill. Chairlift ride is $15 to the top. This is in the summer FYI. - Ski Resorts Near Me - Alta, Wyoming

This skii resort is amazing! No lines, tons of fresh pow, and you can always find a patch of untracked snow. I was up at Targhee with a friend and his family who live in Star Valley, WY. They kept telling me how awesome this resort is. It is very much a hidden gem. I guess being two hour from the closest airport makes this resort somewhat of a locals resort, but if you are willing to risk the mountain passes then you will not be disappointed with Targhee. I was up there at the beginning of 2010. I was fortunate enough to get several amazing bluebird days with awesome views of the tetons from Teton Vista. I demoed a couple pairs of skiis including a pair of incredibly wide Völkl powder skiis and man, did they come in handy on the 17" of fresh pow!!!! The pro shop was very helpful and lets you try as many skiis as you want. The food selection is somewhat limited at the lodge, but who cares... I want to ski not eat! I highly suggest this resort to any serious skiers. Bring your powders skis and getting ready for some serious powder! read more

Grand Targhee Resort was the most convenient ski resort I've ever been to. The operation they are running at this ski resort is a well oiled machine. With free parking, no lift lines, and excellent food and drink with easy to find seating, Grand Targhee sets a high bar for other ski resorts. I was pleasantly surprised, as this feels like the first ski resort I have been to this season (I've been to three different ones) that actually is limiting the number of people who can come each day in order to be covid safe. read more

BUYERS BEWARE: this hotel has beautiful scenery on the outside, but the rooms on the inside are not as described and pictured on the website. My mom and I came to stay here and were placed in a musty room on the first floor. Everything in the room looked as if it had not been replaced since the 60s. We felt unsafe keeping our window open as we were on the first floor. When asking to upgrade (and offering to pay more) they told us nothing was available. We asked if we could get a refund when we found a different hotel to stay at and they said "no but we'd like to make this right so the next time you find yourself in the Tetons please reach out directly and we will place you on the 2nd floor". In addition, every restaurant opens at 8:30 am (too late if you're going to national parks) and closes by 6 pm (except their "fine" dining place). Do not waste your time or money here. It's a shame that such an unprofessional place takes up such beautiful landscape. read more

Grand Targhee will always have a special place in my heart since I was 2 years old learning how to ski. At that time they only had 3 chairs and all were two person chairs and nothing like what we have the luxury riding these days. The mountain is a hidden gem just located a couple miles outside the small town of Driggs, Idaho. The snow is perfect at this mountain, fluffy and soft. When compared to similar ski reports in California, Nevada, Colorado and Montana; Grand Targhee has affordable lift rates. During the high season (holidays) adult ticket prices are $95 for a full day and regular price is $90. With all the upgraded chair lifts, skiers have the ability to ski many runs and cover a ton of terrain. The crowds are minimal and if there is a crowd the lines move quick. The entire resort looks great with has many activities besides snow skiing and snowboarding, such as snow biking, tubing and cross country skiing.

Spent two days at the resort this summer intending to use the bike park, however, operations were closed due to rain and management wouldn't accommodate an adjustment to shorten the rest of our reservation, or offer any discount, due to the resort closure. Understand weather is unpredictable but all operations and trails were shut and we were spending hundreds of dollars just to be there and do nothing. They're in the service/hospitality industry, but you would never know it based on how they treat their customers. Just beware if you plan an expensive vacations that they really don't care about customer satisfaction, or return customers. Won't go back unless there is an ownership change and/or they dramatically improve their customer service. read more

This place gets 450 in of snow a year. And by 450 in, it actually means 550 in. And it gets crowded during a pow day. And by crowded, I mean 50 people at first chair. The Jackson blowhards will call it "low angle pow." And that actually translates to, "I've never been there." Six inches at Jackson transmogrifies into one foot at Targhee. Make sure you bring a pow board to make sure you get your face shots. In response to Star S' criticism, I've been to NZ, every resort between Vancouver and Calgary, every spot in Tahoe, Big Bear, every resort off I 70 in CO, every resort in VT, Jackson and many that I am forgetting, and heli a few times. Targhee holds it's own against the big boys. If you are going to a ski resort for the food, drink your merlot in your UGGs whilst paying $100 at Vail to ride the bunny slopes. Targhee, for what it is, a secluded family run resort, it's the best one I've been to hands down. read more

Took a break from Jackson Hole and made the trek (1hr 15mins) over the Tetons to Grand Targhee while on vacation. What a phenomenal place. The drive there from Jackson was pretty scenic in itself but nothing could beat the views at the resort. Do not come here anticipating the epic runs delivered by Jackson Hole. There's a quaintness to this mountain that was synonymous with the New England mountains I'm used to riding. Plenty of parking was available right at the base of the lodge. We took advantage of their midweek "two-fer" (two lift tickets for the price of one). Despite not being as large, elevated, or promoted as Jackson Hole, I can honestly say I enjoyed my time here even more than JH. It was just the perfect mix of intermediate and challenging terrain. The best part was that the place was SO quiet I felt as though I had rented the entire mountain for myself that day. One of the mountain hosts indicated that the low attendance was due to the week's low temps. Either way it made for an excellent day of no waiting in line and no dodging others on the runs. I can't say enough good things about this unique spot and would encourage anyone vacationing in Jackson to make the short trip over the mountains. read more
