Details
Offering up a possible 20,000 vertical feet of powdery delight on Peaked Mountain, the 600-acre Targhee Resort cat skiing operation is a great way to ski some untracked lines when all of the powder at the nearby resorts has been tracked out. The guides will lead you through steep tree runs, gladed shallower runs, and expansive bowls with views of the gorgeous Tetons all around.
An average of 14,000 to 20,000 vertical feet per day is obtained by cruising an average of 10-12 runs at 2,000 feet each. The greatest vertical descent is 2,200 feet. Grand Targhee Resort operates a maximum of 2 snowcats, depending on conditions, with 12 riders per cat. You may choose from half day trips ($249/day) or full day trips ($349/day). This year, 10 new runs were added to the snowcat operation area.
Ski rentals are available, including models from K2, Volkl, Line, Icelantic and Armada. Snowboard rentals include offereings from Burton, Arbor, LibTech and Never Summer.
