What's it like at Grand Targhee resort?
Grand Targhee is a small resort just over 90 minutes drive from Jackson Hole. It receives 500 inches of snow a year. That's over 1/4 more than Jackson and it is quiet! There is a fair mix of terrain at Grand Targhee, but it is the powder than is the main attraction. If it has dumped at Grand Targhee then there is stacks of the stuff waiting for you and you will hardly have to wait or cross anyones tracks to enjoy it. There is accommodation in the modern village at the base of the resort, or in Teton Village which is linked to Grand Targhee by a regular bus service.

Visitor Reviews of Grand Targhee
Greg Robinson from United States writes:
I went to Targhee and bought 3 full-priced lift tickets. I learned after the fact that my local season pass entitled me to Mountain Collective benefits. The Activities Center was unwilling to provide a refund. Interestingly, the two people I spoke to both had very different reasons for why they wouldn't refund me, neither of which were honest or honourable.
I was stupid for not reading the fine print, they were greedy and unethical.
Despicable Customer Service.
Targhee used to be a great mountain when its prices were competitive and they offered Snowcat skiing. Now lift tickets cost almost as much as Jackson Hole ($135 vs. $200), as does the food and lodging. Jackson Hole is an infinitely better mountain, and Jackson or Teton Village, WY are infinitely better places to stay than Victor or Driggs, ID.
Don't waste your time and money at Targhee, they certainly don't deserve it.
