概要

Fifteen miles from Jackson Hole, on the other side of the Tetons, there’s a ski resort with 500+ inches of snow a year, 2,600 acres, and basically no lift lines. This week, Where to Ski heads to Grand Targhee, Wyoming.

Our guest is Gary MacKenzie, Executive Director of the Grand Targhee Ski and Snowboard Foundation, a former freeride head coach, and a Driggs, Idaho native who has skied Targhee since he was three. Gary breaks down how to ski the mountain like a local.

In this episode:

  • How to get there, and why the roads (and Teton Pass) sometimes close
  • Fred’s Mountain vs. Pequod, and the 2022 Coulter lift
  • Where to go on a deep day, and why wind is Targhee’s friend
  • Why Gary packs a 110mm+ ski
  • Tree wells, rime and low visibility: how to stay safe in 500 inches
  • Mary’s Nipple, the backside cliffs, and the backcountry options, including guided tours and yurts
  • How many days to plan for, and where to stay in Alta and Driggs
  • Why the best tip is to make a new friend on the chairlift


Grab your skis. Targhee might be your new favorite.
