Super Skiing

There’s one statistic that should stand out when you consider a trip to Grand Targhee Resort: 500 inches. That’s the average amount of light, dry powder that pummels this laid-back Wyoming resort each season, thanks to a high-alpine barrier that deposits consistent, double-digit dumps on its 2,602 acres of glades, bowls and groomed runs. From slopeside accommodations, a locally inspired menu at the Branding Iron and après music at the Trap Bar & Grill to massages, snowshoeing, fat biking and nature tours, there’s plenty for the entire family to enjoy. Kids can explore the Kids Adventure Zone and build their skills in the Powder Scouts or Mini Moose programs. Looking to spread out?
