New Terrain At Grand Targhee

During the winter, the abundance of light powder snow— averaging 500 inches annually—and virtual lack of lift lines make Grand Targhee Resort an uncrowded skier and snowboarder paradise that is recognized for its genuine Western hospitality, scenic beauty, and excellent value. And the powder days at the ‘Ghee just got a little bit more epic. Grand Targhee Resort kicked off the 2023 winter season with a brand-new lift that opens 600 acres to skiers and riders. The Colter Lift on Peaked Mountain will transport up to 2,000 people per hour, gain 1,815 vertical feet in just over five minutes, and provide access to 30 percent more skiing and riding with the addition of the new terrain. The lift is aptly named after John Colter of the Lewis and Clark expedition who famously explored the Greater Yellowstone region. Opening these additional acres, which used to only be accessible with cat skiing or by hiking when the gates were open, gives skiers and riders access to more epic terrain and even more room to explore what makes Grand Targhee so special.
