"We warmed up with a few laps on the Colter Chair, reveling in the speed of the snow on the groomers. Each turn produced a billowing cloud of ice crystals, which hung in the air kind of like a dust cloud on a mountain bike trail. Brief ventures into the trees yielded a few soft turns, but there was no question that Teton Valley had skied the midweek storm like it was the last of the season."
"Grand Targhee is one of those magical ski areas that can still hold soft snow for days after a storm, especially if you know where to look. As the laps stacked up, the cold slowly worked its way through all of our layers, inviting us to look towards the Après portion of the day."
"The Trap Bar in Grand Targhee's base area may be one of the best ski bars I've ever been to. The ambiance is always lively, there's been a band nearly every time I've been in there, and the Targhee Fries always hit the spot after a long day of skiing."
Grand Targhee experienced low single-digit temperatures with squeaky snow conditions following a recent storm. Skiers found excellent powder on groomed runs like the Colter Chair, where each turn produced billowing ice crystals. Tree skiing between the Colter and Blackfoot Chairs yielded soft turns, though midweek skiers had already tracked much of the fresh snow. The ski area's ability to preserve soft snow days after storms makes it exceptional for powder seekers. With 257 inches of seasonal snowfall and an 83-inch base depth, conditions remained strong. The day concluded at the Trap Bar, known for its lively atmosphere and quality food.
