Grand Targhee
Wyoming
While Jackson Hole steals the spotlight where Wyoming skiing is
concerned, vetted skiers harbour a soft spot for nearby Grand
Targhee. Next to the Idaho border, this resort sits on the western
side of the Teton mountain range – which means its slopes get first
dibs on storms rolling in from the Pacific Coast. Powder is
probable most days and you’re likely get pristine runs all to
yourself (albeit ones that aren’t quite as challenging as Jackson
Hole’s). True, fancy lodgings and restaurants are better in Jackson
Hole, but there’s no reason you can’t hit up both ski resorts in
the same trip. Only an hour apart via the Teton Pass, regular
shuttles run to and from the Jackson village.
