Grand Targhee, Wyoming

Joanie and I had to go to Sun Valley for a meeting on Friday. It's about two hours east of Boise and we really wanted to see some different parts of Idaho so we drove from there to Grand Targhee in the Tetons. We showed up late Friday night and stayed right at the resort since the early season room rates were the same price as town.

I went snowboarding on Saturday, while Joanie got a pedicure. Grand Targhee is huge, they had 1500 acres open and this was before they open their other peak. They got 13 inches of snow the day before we got there and there was lots of powder left in the trees. Visibility was a bit of a problem as it snowed 5 inches on Saturday and the top of the mountain was in the clouds most of the day. You couldn't see more than 25 feet or so at the top in the whiteout.

On Sunday I took Joanie on a forced snowshoe deathmarch. It wasn't really that bad but hiking through the powder really wears you out.

We had a great time. I can't wait to go back, maybe next time it will be clear and we can actually see the Tetons!!
