    What a beautiful place! Nate and I stayed at Grand Targhee Resort for three nights recently for our friends' wedding. Checking in was easy and we got the lowdown on all the amenities including a few restaurants and a couple bars, a general store, gift/outfitter shop, and more. Unfortunately we never saw Willie the one-eyed cat who lives at the resort, but I'm following him on Instagram now! Our room was right in the Teewinot Lodge, which is next door to the check in lobby. The double queen room was spacious and had a mini fridge with freezer, microwave, coffee maker, dry guy for wet boots/gloves, iron and ironing board, a small fan, and a hair dryer. There was no air conditioning, but the fan was great with open windows at night. Our first evening, we enjoyed the heated outdoor pool and hot tub, and had the whole area to ourselves. We had food and drinks from the Trap Bar and the Branding Iron grill while there, and everything was great. 99% of the employees we interacted with at the resort were super friendly and kind. The views all around the resort are wonderful, and we took the scenic Dreamcatcher chairlift up to get an even better view of the mountains from up top. There are lots of activities to do, including lots of hiking and mountain biking trails, kids' activities, etc. The rooms are a bit older, so there are fewer outlets than you may be used to in more modern hotels, but we made it work. I'm so glad we got to experience this resort for a few days. There's not a ton around, but you can drive into Driggs or Victor to grab dinner or some groceries. Jackson is about an hour drive from Targhee.

    I've heard so much great things about this place, yet our experience was very mediocre. Came here to ride for a day to try it out. There's only six lift chairs on the whole mountain, so not a lot of train or a big resort. The train was OK, not difficult or interesting. And on the day we were there due to a little bit of a breeze, it wasn't even that windy, they closed two of the big main chair lifts so only a quarter of the mountain was accessible via the other chairs. It was such a waste of money. Also the chair lifts are super old-school, it does not slow down for you when you're trying to get on the chairlift, and it is very dangerous. They have not upgraded their technology for many many many years. The food selection is also slim, not a lot of variety and high priced to be expected. Overall it was good to try it out once and check it off the list, but we would most likely not return.

    Welcome to the white room ;)

    Skiing 5 stars Everything else 3 stars We got lucky with the weather and skied some of the deepest powder in the 3rd week of February. The amount and the quality of snow was top notch!! I'd say the only other place that compares to Targhee in terms of powder skiing is Niseko, Japan. Not only there was lot of fresh snow on the ground at the beginning of the day, it snowed throughout the day so we had 'free refill' kinda days. Amazing!!! The trees are spaced out perfectly, so it was really fun skiing in the trees (especially off the Blackfoot lift). I don't think I stopped smiling. People are super friendly and down to earth. No Vail or Aspen type attitude here. The not-so-good: The mountain is also known as "Grand Foggy" - and they aren't kidding. The top half of the mountain was pretty much invisible the whole time we were there. Low visibility lens is a MUST! Lifts - they need more lifts!! The line at Dreamcatcher (the main lift) was quite long, especially on Saturday. Yeah, I know, Saturdays are the worst ski days at any resort, but a lot of resorts have multiple lifts to take from the base area (or multiple base areas), so people can spread out. At Targhee, there is only one base and there is really one lift to start your day (ok, 2, if you count Sacajawea). From the top of Dreamcatcher, unless you go off to the Blackfoot lift, you come back down to the base area . . . to get in line at Dreamcatcher again . . . But the good thing is, even though the lift lines are long, the runs are not crowded at all. So it's not like you have to ski with a bunch of people. Parking/Traffic - horrible. We were staying at the Teton Teepee Lodge. It took us 15 minutes to get up to the mountain on Friday, but took us 45 minutes on Saturday!! The uphill traffic in the morning is pretty bad and they don't have enough parking... So keep that in mind if you're going to ski/ride on weekends. I've been to most of top 20 ski resorts in North America (it's my passion). I'd give Targhee a B+. Don't get me wrong, the skiing at Targhee is excellent. It's just that the infrastructure needs some improvement. Would I be back? Heck yeah. Already planning to stay at the Teepee lodge for a week and ski Mon-Fri next season.

    Stayed at the Sioux Lodge Suites at Grand Targhee the first part of August to mountain bike. The suites are older and could use a face lift. It was still warm enough in the daytime and the evening that it was hot in the rooms because their was not AC units, we had to leave the windows opens. The problem with the downstairs is there were not screen covers and the windows opened all the way at were at ground level. The suite was nice to have a sofa couch upstairs, kitchenette with microwave and refrigerator and bathroom. The downstairs had one queen bedroom, bathroom, and another room with two sets of bunk beds. Great for large families. They had the pool open in the daytime, but it was packed with families so we didn't get a chance to try it out. They only had one lift open to access the trails for hiking and mountain biking. They did limit the number of people staying and they only offered food at a tent outside for lunch and dinner with hot dogs, brats, burger, and sandwich options and a bar with outside seating until 7- 8 pm daily. they had another restaurant open in the mornings for breakfast items to pick up and eat. The trails were the same as the year before, pretty choppy at the top half and then they started to smooth out at the lower half of the mountain. It's a nice place to come and relax if you are willing to travel in the daytime if you want to do something other than hike or mountain bike.

    Came here for a ski/snowboarding trip. A really small hidden gem in this area that was wonderful for snowboarding. I think there were 4 lifts each beautifully groomed when I was there. Not packed with visitors like the bigger more popular resorts either. Easy to get around since it was so small. The actual resort was a bit outdated but only stayed there to sleep so not much to complain about. Definitely preferred this one over some of the more well known resorts

    Time on hold!

    Three un answered e mails, 2 un returned voicemails, twice on hold for over two hours and still no response from the resort. I have even tried calling the front desk and still cannot reach a single human being. Zero customer service, do not waste your time booking a room here. If they clean the way they answer phones the place is probably disease filled.

    Just one of the amazing Teton views at GTR!

    Grand Targhee is the best! Snow is consistently unreal. Never too crowded, and with new Colter lift the terrain is even more expansive. Photo: view from new lift.

    If you want to be right next to the ski lift in the winter, you're in the right place. And in summer, if you are an avid mountain biker, you have plenty of trails. Other than that - meh. I was in the Targhee Lodge and, as noted, the building is very old and rooms are not air conditioned. The only place the window opened was about 12" at the bottom near the floor. The shower stall was so small that when I had my back to the shower spray, my nose was about an inch away from the wall. People over ~5'8" will find that they need to duck to get their hair wet too. The campground is not near the lodge buildings. I did not check out the area but it looked like the camping spots had absolutely no shade. It also looks like there are no amenities. I did not see any shower building and just porta potties. Because of COVID, the food options are extremely limited. For breakfast, the choices were one of three breakfast burritos. They did say the other option was to go to their little store, buy a frozen breakfast sandwich and heat it up. For lunch, they set up a grill with brats and hot dogs. Dinner had distanced seating either outdoors or indoors - and a limited menu that did not change. So considering the limited options and high prices, if there are more than two people in the party, pay extra and reserve a townhome or condo and bring your own food to cook (you'll save money overall too). As an alternative, consider driving into Driggs, ID to eat. During the summer, they had one ski lift open to transport mountain bikers/bike and hikers to the top. So it does not go to all the trails in the area. I got one pass for the lift when I checked in. It is supposed to be for a round trip but I chose to go up and then hike down. I picked out a path for hiking only labeled as "moderate' - the Bannock hiking trail. It made no mention of possibly tricky footing. Well, it was tricky enough that it took me one hour to go the first mile - rocks and near the edge. After a while more, it got near a cross country/hiking path and started down that instead - a lot easier. But the trails are not labeled so I just kept picking different paths to get down. there are service roads that also go up to the top but these dirt roads have so much loose gravel on them that it was even more dangerous to walk on them. I was grateful that I actually made it down without falling or injuring myself.

    Great trails- here with my teammates preparing for the 50/100 pierres hole mtb race 2019

For $600-850 a snow mobile, this outfit is greatly missing customer etiquette. We were told to be ready at 6am sharp. We wanted to confirm which side of the hotel pickup was, however neither the 1800 or 307 numbers work. We called repeatedly, text the 307 number, and had no idea if we'd been scammed until the coach showed up at 6:28. Showing up late with no working phone number was shocking for an outfit that demands logistics and communication at 6am. Once the coach showed up, I asked Jeff (guide) if there's any coffee since it's a 1+ hour ride to Yellowstone and coffee shops were not open. Scenic Safari's response? "You can die for an hour in the back." A bit rude, I ignored it. For comparison, the hotel shuttle that runs FOR FREEE has coffee and hot chocolate prepped in the van. No coffee on a $600-800 per person is one thing, but "You can die for an hour in the back," has ZERO customer etiquette. We get in the coach and the man has the lights on full blast over our heads. When asked to dim them since it's pitch black outside and the contrast painful to anyone with migraines, Jeff makes the remark "lights are going off because there's someone sensitive in the back." Zero basic customer etiquette. Just turn the light off. Everyone heard the request. Three strikes before the fist 30 minutes of the trip with 8 hours to go.

I did my research of how to rent snowmobiles in Jackson but ended up finding the best of both worlds: a snowmobile tour that went to hot springs! I booked the Granite Hot Springs Tour Half Day. There were two timeslots for the tour, early morning or afternoon. I reserved the afternoon session, which started at noon. For our party of 3, I got 2 snowmobiles: one for a solo rider and the 2nd for tandem riding. I appreciated how clearly their website described of what to bring, including necessities for the hot springs like your own swimsuits and towels. A day prior to the tour, Teton Tour Co. called me to confirm my reservations and also answer any logistical questions I had. They were also able to accommodate a last minute change. My friend was staying at The Village, while my husband and I were staying at a hotel in Jackson. Teton Tour Co. was able to pick us up from both of our hotels. Our guide was Matt, and he was awesome. It was everyone's first time riding a snowmobile, and he thoroughly went over how to safely use it. The tour was such a blast! The way to the springs took about 40 minutes, including a couple of scenic stops along the way where we took pictures. The hot springs felt amazing, and it was an invigorating experience all in itself going in and out of the pool with our swimsuits in below 20 degree weather. On the way back, we hit a cool trail where we got to really rip on the snowmobiles. This was a great way to spend a snow day. I would highly recommend this tour and this tour group.
