Hit it on a blue bird powder day, it was amazing! The next day another storm moved in and you couldn't see the lift in front of you, apparently this happens frequently at the start of storms. I agree with the earlier posts about lodging, we stayed at the hill, won't do it again. Found it to be way over priced and dated. With the easy bus and car options from Driggs and Jackson being only an hour away we will stay in one of the towns when we return, and we will return!

Don't plan on renting boots if you have an AT set-up... Forced into renting skis & boots. Had to pay more money to get four buckle boots though paid more for the "demo package." Boots didn't fit right and had to return after an hour of skiing. Rental techs never asked why I didn't like the boots, were downright rude and will never go to this resort again. Waste of time & money.

Skiing is Great--especially on a good powder day, which there are usually many.
Don't even think about staying in the lodging at the resort--
OVERPRICED, outdated and nothing to do after the lifts close. Save your money and stay in Driggs--at least they have morethan 1 resteraunt to eat at, and the rooms are 1/2 price, with a 15 minute drive to get to the mountain.

Laid back with no crowding. Great instructors and good value at ski school. Special thanks to George.

This mountain has Epic views and terrain to keep anyone occupied for weeks. The crowds are non-existent and the Trap Bar is a blast. We opted for the host tour and were the only participants - so we got a locals only tour of the terrain secrets. We had so much fun, we're headed back next month.

Targhee is very organized with liftopia - you dont need to print out copy which helps when on vk

I have lived in Driggs now for two years and could not be more addicted to Targhee. The conditions are epic every week and the beer is nice and cold. Plus this year they will be bring back the terrain park! If you have not been here it is more then worth the trip. Awesome.

Loved, loved, loved Targhee! No lift lines, amazing views, phenomenal snow and really nice people. Definitely bring your goggles. We were there March 9-16th and we had the perfect weather. Not too cold, mostly clear days but definitely some foggy ones too with snow. So glad we went over to Sacajewea. Initially we were thinking it would be too advanced for us but it was perfect! DON'T waste your money on the sleigh ride to the Yurt dinner. Food was terrible and the sleigh ride was around the property so we passed the maintenance areas...it was kind of a joke. We will definitely be back to Targhee though!

32" inches in two days was epic!! amazing!! This Saturday, though, was pretty windy!! Avoid going up Dreamcatcher in bad wind would be my advice :)

If there is bad weather, avoid going to the top of the mountain, instead take the traverse trail to the Sacajawea lift. This slope is more sheltered from fog and wind.

Great skiing here. Moguls, intermediate runs for my daughter, open spaces and my favorite, trees. Just one thing.... the fog rolls in quickly. It started out a warm sunny day and ended up colder later and very foggy. Go prepared for all types of weather.

I loved the conveyer belt on the beginner hill that shuttles skiier to the top of the beginner hill. It was so much easier and convienent for my little one than the tow rope that we used at other ski hills. It was so nice while trying to teach my 4 year old how to ski. This mountain is totally amazing. So many different options. My husband and older kids loved the entire hill. We had a blast. I would highly recommend this hill to everyone.

Its a fun hill. When we first got there I could only see about 3' infront of me. I really did have my head in the clouds. The sun did come out and the views were great. There is a cliff ban that runs the lenght of a ridge if your into flying. If not lots of great cruisers and the snow was great.

Tip: Bring goggles, snow is deep.
Was easy getting our Liftopia tickets and starting the day. Great amenities only compliment the mountain, making our stay that much better. As far as the slopes... deep powder, fast groomers, and excellent views, all followed by a stay in the Resort hot tub. Targhee is a hidden gem, well worth the travel.
