Grand Targhee Ski Resort is only
12 miles away with 2,000 vertical feet of skiing. It
has some of the best snow in the Rockies, over 500
inches a year of dry powder. It is slated to expand
greatly over the next couple of years, which leaves
us with mixed emotions as being minutes away from a
destination ski resort is always good for property
values but we wonder if Grand Targhee will be able
to maintain it is friendly down home feeling. Grand
Targhee offers a terrain park for adventurous snow
boarders plus one of the best beginner ski programs
we have seen. We buy a family pass here every year.
Snow King Ski Resort offers long
steep runs that end almost in downtown Jackson. Talk
about your après ski, save me a saddle in the Cowboy
Bar! Snow King is far more than just a Ski Resort
with a beautiful indoor ice arena and figure skating
club. It offers year round activities; our favorite
is the summer time Alpine slide.
Outside Magazine has called
Jackson Hole Mountain Resort the seventh best ski
resort in the world. We do not know about that but
we do know you had better like “steep” and you
better ski inbounds if you want to get home intact.
It is truly a “big boy” ski resort with 4,139 of
vertical feet. This is where the beautiful people go
to ski, but you had better be good.
Darby Ranch is surrounded by
Cross Country Skiing, indeed the perimeter riding
trail easily converts to a Cross Country Skiing
trail. Want a longer run? The road into Darby Canyon
is not plowed in the winter, making it private and
perfect for serious Cross County Skiers. |
