The Ski Resort

The Grand Targhee Resort is located in Wyoming in the western USA not far from the city of Alta and the national parks Grand Teton and Yellowstone. Four chair lifts and a magic carpet take winter sports enthusiasts up the mountain. The longest of the almost 100 runs is about 4 kilometers long. Two snowparks are also available for freestylers here on the border to Idaho.

The resort is especially known for its generous cat skiing possibilities. Just under a quarter of the resort is reserved exclusively for this. And there is enough snow here: Due to its altitude between 2400 and 3000 meters, the ski area is one of the most snow-sure in the USA. The ski season runs from the end of November until well into April.
