Spring skiing at it's best. Nice groomers in the morning and awesome corn snow in the afternoon. Once the snow is soft ski middle earth to the trees. Follow thru the trees over to the Sacajawea quad. That run alone is a blast.

Just returned from two days at Targhee. Had a fantastic time even though there was no new snow. We came in a day after 8 inches and there were still pockets of good snow. Apparently it stays a few days unlike larger resorts. Skied high speed groomers the 2nd day as the crust was frozen hard off trail. You can ski the whole place in a day but can have fun over several days. We stayed at a rental between Driggs and Victor. I would agree that there doesn't look like much to do after the 6:00 pm.

My God I love not having to fight for scraps of powder. Week dyas w/powder are THE best if you can get 'em.

January and February are almost always guaranteed powder months! Bring the fattest skis you got and rip it up!

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OVERPRICED, outdated and nothing to do after the lifts close.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 :)
written Feb 22 2011 - 08:02 PM
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.

Love it there. The mountain is pretty easy, not any real difficult runs. Typically plenty of snow. I've been going there for almost 16 years now. Still one of my favorite places. Now I'm bringing my kids and they like it too.

Great Mountain, lots of snow, low crowds. It tends to get crud/cement in the large proportion of ungroomed and partially tracked areas when it hasn't snowed in a while. Even better place for snowboarders than skiers, so I gave snowboarding a shot. Great learning area for boards.

This is an awesome mountain. Highly recommended. - George Yuri Peek, Skiing for 19 years.

Grand Targhee is the best mountain in america as far as I'm concerned. It has everything you wuold be looking for in a mountain. We took the Sacajawea lift and went over to the double black diamond runs. I have never had so much fun dropping off of 40 to 60 foot cliffs. The people you meet out there are friendly and the employees are great you cant talk to them about anything and they will have you laughing. I come out there every year and it just gets better. For a fun mountain and a great time check this place out. It will not disappoint.

What an Epic day ! Went Fri, Jan 21st- good visibility till noon then some fog...but the 6" was absolutely awesome! Met some great locals, no snobbiness and best of all- NO lift lines. I'll be back, Targhee.

Targhee was great, but only bit of advice would be, the signs that say, "Cliff Area" really means there are cliffs on that run without really any chutes that are really wide enough to make a turn on to get down.
written Jan 24 2011 - 09:28 PM
The most beautiful ski day ever, fresh powder unlike anywhere else I have skied. I could ski every day at Targhee. I loved my visit to the town too, less pretentious than the yuppy ski towns. Super friendly people and affordable food & lodging. I am going to Targhee to ski from now on!

Some ski areas you can make do with sunglasses. Not here! It's very foggy more often than not and some good goggles are essential! But dress warm, wear goggles, and get over to Blackfoot! It's wide open and it's easy to get first tracks in the morning.

Great mountain; plenty of snow, close parking, good deals... made even better with Liftopia! Be sure to get down to Sacajewea chair.... great terrain. Oh, and dress warmly!!

Targhee was AWESOME as usual! Invest in some boot heters if skiing in late December!
written Jan 03 2011 - 01:42 PM
If you get there early, go to the activites center (right on the stairs) to pick up your Liftopia tickets. Targhee always was great powder if you look around for it. Thanks for saving me some green Liftopia!

Great mountain. There was so much snow while we were there. Teton Springs Lodge and Spa is a gorgeous resort, close to the mountain and great value. Unbelievable rooms. They have heli-skiing!!!

If your thighs can take the burn...Targhee's deep wet snow will have you begging for more! If you want to see the beauty and granduer that is Grand Targhee go up when there is fog in the valley.
Don't be afraid to venture over to the old school Blackfoot lift....some of the best un-tracked powder over there.
