Grand Targhee Resort Skiing

Located on the western slope of the Tetons, Grand Targhee Resort spans across two skiable mountains: Fred’s Mountain (summit 9,862 feet) and Peaked Mountain (summit 9,830 feet). The two mountains are linked by 2,602 acres of lift accessible terrain while Mary’s Nipple (9,920 feet) offers additional in-bounds hike-to terrain.

Averaging an annual snowfall of 500+ inches of light powder and featuring a 2,270-foot vertical rise, skiers and snowboarders will find themselves enchanted by spectacular scenery and uncrowded trails in a charming western small town. The season runs on average from mid-November until mid-April. The base elevation is 7,851 feet, and there is a total of 5 lifts. There are two terrain parks as well as Nordic trails, snowshoeing and more. The mountain terrain is 10% beginner, 70% intermediate, 16% advanced and 4% expert.

Grand Targhee Resort provides visitors with a ski and snowboard school with adult and kids programs, ski equipment rentals and sales. During the summer, visitors can take scenic rides on the chairlifts to see the surrounding countryside. There are music festivals, kids’ camps and cross-country and downhill mountain biking trails. Slopeside amenities include shopping, restaurants, rentals, guided tours throughout all four seasons and more. If you have a free day, you should spend some time in both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
