Grand Targhee Resort, WY; The ‘Vibe’ Abides!

Brought to you by Grand Targhee Resort

Laidback Hootenanny; those two grin-worthy words provide solid primer on the Vibe that thrives at Grand Targhee Resort.

Targhee Vibe is founded on family, on free-wheelin’ spirit, and on the colorful characterful roots which got people skiing in the first place. 

Families ski the Ghee to enjoy each other, the snow conditions, and to just plain revel in an ‘ol fashion good time. That’s an unspoken truth of Targhee, and it’s been in place since the resort’s Opening Day in 1969.

Grand Targhee has safeguarded wild spirit for more than fifty years by blending seamlessly history, tradition, and rascally thrill. Boiled down to the basics, Targhee Vibe is 2,500 vertical feet of friendly neighborhood skiing along the backbone of the Tetons, on some of the best snow to fall in North America.

What makes the Vibe unique is its people and the culture they live by. With the stunning Teton Mountains as backdrop, it’s natural that the Vibe is outdoor-oriented and surely welcoming of originality. And when it comes to wavy turns through high crystal seas, it’s tough to beat Targhee’s snowpack…or its hospitality.

Grand Targhee is a ‘must’ destination when planning your next big trip, because around these parts, rowdy fun and genuine respect intertwine within a wide-open garden that’s perfect for growing the Vibe among your own tribe.  

“Escape the crowds,” said one Targhee local. “Get back to the way skiing and snowboarding are meant to be experienced. It’s alive and well here, at Targhee.”

The free-spirited locals who call the Tetons and Targhee home look beyond conventional approaches to find their own best version of skiing–and living. Targhee Vibe is an emblem of that mindset. It stretches from fireside to summit, and along every deep line in-between.

Beyond lifts or lodges, Targhee’s vibe naturally extends all the way to the carpark, where the art of the tailgate rises to a shine. The lots where cars are left transforms into Valhalla of comradery, BBQ, and wandering old mutts trawling for a pat.

And then there’s Trap Bar—the Trap, for short. This rockin’ slopeside speakeasy is arguably the crown jewel of Vibe at the Ghee. And it draws headliner traveling musical talent with its central stage and cozy atmosphere.

It’s the kinda joint where a fella dancin’ with his own crutches for a partner fits right in on the floor.

On the chairlift or at the street corner, shared greetings are as warm as they are genuine, thanks to the Targhee Vibe. And no two passersby stay strangers for long. The community at the Ghee is all about person-ability, good-natured heckling, and raucous, booming laughter so deep, it’s conceivable to hear the good times echoing across the ski area on any given ski day. Here the lifties know you by name, the bar staff remembers your bevy, and best of all, the kiddos are learning to carry on the tradition by simply enjoying each new ski day.

Be it Nordic skiing, Alpine, Climbing, Boarding, Fat Bike touring, or live music, dance classes—in ski boots, when it comes to the grandest aspects of Teton lifestyle, they’re found at the only resort with the Targhee Vibe.’
