Grand Targhee
On new years eve I flew into Jackson with my wife and two daughters - as we
drove up through the pass it started to snow........... it did not stop for five or six days - knee deep several days in a row. I have been to Jackson and love it - but for me with my kids Targhee with fresh powder is a complete freak show - I will be going back every year for the rest of my life - BTW - there was a band there - apparently they are a regular New Years Eve / Week band - Moses Guest - I absolutely love them. As a kid I followed the Grateful Dead out to Colorado from the east coast - kind of the same thing before it got big and crazy in the eighties - at Targhee you can leave the walkie talkie with the kids and watch the band - the place is that small. Targhee - Snow from Heaven Not From Hoses No attitude, No Yuppies, Great Snow, Great Music I almost forgot about my job, my mortgage and the kids going back to school in a couple of days - hey wheres the next show? |

Lots of building and so-called development going on at Targhee, but still low key with the greatest inbounds lift-served powder I've ever skied. I agree - Grand Targhee is the real thing. Incidently - I'm mousing on a Targhee mouse pad as we speak; my kid picked it up for me at a FIS Downhill he raced at Targhee a couple of years ago. Silliest idea I ever heard - hosting a Downhill on all that powder - the kid put himself in the Ambulance for a hospital cheakout after crashing when he went wide into the soft stuff. But he loved every second, although he only speaks of the off days when he and cronies skied the pow. |
