Great ski area, and very affordable compared to Jackson. Some terrain off the Sacajawea lift is fun and rowdy. Every time I've stopped here, the snow has been excellent. Other areas of the mountain have some exceedingly flat traverses or poor layout. Dining choices could be expanded as well. Overall, I'll keep coming back here.

I am an avid snowboarder and I ride across the country. I love Grand Targhee and rode there extensively this season. The one thing that bothered me the most was the snowboard shop staff named Brett. I purchased a goggle lens (grand foghee) and the plating came off after one day. Brett, even though there is a sign saying returns 30 days, declined the return the next day citing abuse. Turns out, Burton knew about quality issues and after much help from Heather, the item was returned the next day. A few days later, the boa broke on my brand new boots and he declined to fix the boot citing no parts. Well, I am not sure what's worst, Burton or Brett but the combination was unbearable. Not sure why someone like this works in customer service/sales but that's not my problem, I just had two days of drama where I couldn't ride...while paying for lift ticket.

I recently went here for a skiing trip and had a great time the mountain is beautiful with the view of the Tetons and the powder was great but wind blown in some spots. It wasn't to crowded and the service was great. the lodge is very clean and it feels like a great environment to be in. I would definitely rate this as one of my top favorite ski resorts

From a beginner level snowboarder.
Pros: not crowded on trails, friendly staff, nice tavern. If you want an easy experience where you can park and be on the slopes in less than ten minutes it fits the bill.
Cons: relatively small and shorter runs. I found a lot of the runs too steep for me, but i imagine this wouldn't be an issue at all for people who go routinely

From a standpoint of traveling all over the US, I would rank the resort as alright but nothing special. Rooms are a little better than a Motel 6 but it is clear that a lot of visitors pour through the doors but not much is done to update or freshen up the property. The Grand Targhee Lodge Loft Suite which is suppose to sleep eight can barely accommodate 6 and not six adults. The price is a out of range for what you get. The positive side is the skiing. AWESOME. The activities, bars, restaurants are convenient and easy to walk to from the lodge. I am not sure how terrible it would be to drive up everyday from town but the parking lot is empty at 6 am and by 0730 it is packed. I think I will try staying at a more reasonably priced hotel in Driggs or Jackson and take advantage of things the towns have to offer.
