Orinda, California: What's the most family-friendly Rocky Mountain ski resort according to visitors to OnTheSnow.com, the oldest and most-visited snow sports portal on the Internet? It's Grand Targhee, Wyo. The Web site, which attracts an audited 1.2 million individuals monthly during the winter, gave its visitors the opportunity to write reviews of all North American resorts and rank them in five categories.
Grand Targhee received almost perfect scores in the family-friendly category. The ratings were based primarily on readers' average ranking, number of reviews, and specific comments made in OnTheSnow.com over the winter season.
"More and more skiers and snowboarders are relying on the word of their peers when they make resort choices," said Mountain News President and Publisher Rob Brown, whose company publishes OnTheSnow.com. "We believe the importance of reader advisories will continue to grow each year and these annual awards provide a peek into their thinking."
Reviewers were clear in their comments: "If you have youngsters in your group, Grand Targhee has the best bunny hill area I've ever seen anywhere, with a good variety of runs, tree skiing, and respectable mini-pitches where you can actually get in a few real turns." Another wrote Targhee "is a laid-back, friendly, uncrowded ski resort to hang out with friends or family."
Grand Targhee offers 3,000 acres of lift-serviced terrain on two mountains. Wide-open bowls and gladed areas offer powder-filled skiing and riding and some of the lightest snow in the world. Fun terrain for all abilities, along with a small-town feel and spectacular scenery make Targhee a popular destination.
