Wherever you are starting from, Grand Targhee Resort is the place to go for the perfect ski vacation. Within a national forest and close to both Wyoming and Idaho, you can even get there in five hours from Salt Lake City, Utah.

The powder you will find at Grand Targhee Resort is legendary. There's an average of five hundred inches per year! The snow is drier than most other resorts as well, which makes for some excellent skiing. The resort is so confident in their snow conditions during the year, they have a "no questions asked" guarantee. This means that if you aren't happy with the snow conditions, you can return your lift ticket to the office within an hour of purchase for a "snow check," good for another lift ticket. How can you get a better guarantee than that?

There are 2,000 acres of terrain served by lifts and two mountains to explore. Grand Targhee rated number 2 for snow and in the top three for best family resort in the Ski Magazine's survey of readers. They got a top ten for value as well.

Don't forget a family favorite: snowboarding or snowcat fun. The kids will enjoy the natural half pipes. There are even powder snowcat trips available throughout the week.

With so much for the whole family, it's a winter vacation that can't be beat. From trails for beginners to experts and ski school programs to 15 km of groomed trails for cross-country, everyone will have a great time.
