Day 1 at Grand Targhee (Monday 25-Feb)

We woke to 7 inches of new snow with more on the way. It snowed all day and the conditions were great. This was my 4th powder day and it was appropriate that it came here. Grand Targhee is known for considerably more snow than it's closest neighbor - Jackson Hole - on the other side of the Teton Range. Targhee is on the western side of the range while Jackson is on the eastern side so sometimes the moisture all dumps on this side and leaves Jackson wanting. However, we heard this snow fell on them also, so we hope to be skiing some of this snow when we get there on Wednesday.

I am still dealing with remnants of the flu so once again, I called it a day at about 1:00. But with no lift lines and the silence that comes with a new dumping of snow, Ken and I had a spectacular morning aquainting ourselves with the terrain that Targhee's 2 lifts had to offer. It is a rather small resort but since it is a bit out of the way, there are no crowds and it is a very relaxing resort.

The forecast predicts a sunny day tomorrow so we're looking forward to powder and visibility tomorrow. And then maybe some excitement at Jackson the next day.
