Grand Targhee Expert Skiing
Grand Targhee’s expert skiing often goes almost entirely unappreciated. Despite its reputation as an intermediate mountain, adrenaline junkies will find Grand Targhee has some surprisingly fun advanced terrain. While certainly not in a class with nearby Jackson Hole, experts will enjoy that a vast majority of the terrain is not groomed.Easier single black diamonds such as “The Good,” “The Bad,” “The Ugly,” and the wide open bowls off the Blackfoot Double (Powder Cache, Lost Warrior and Raven Wood) will entertain advanced skiers, while experts looking for more difficulty will enjoy a set of steep chutes clustered around Patrol Chute.
Looking for some double blacks? Targhee’s steepest terrain requires a 30-45 minute hike up the saddle from the Dreamcatcher Quad, but Toilet Bowl and Das Boat are well worth the trek on a powder day.
