Navigating with Gear: The “Ski or Snowboard Bag Problem”
Deep powder means big skis. Our team found that while Teton Pass (Hwy 22) is the fastest route from Jackson, it frequently closes for avalanche control. Check our Gear Guide for winter driving essentials if you rent an AWD vehicle; the access road from Driggs is steep and strictly monitored.

Common Traveller Questions
Where is the best place to stay?
Staying on the mountain is great for 'first tracks', but Driggs (20 mins away) offers more dining and affordable lodging options.
Is it better than Jackson Hole?
It is quieter and often gets more snow, though it has less vertical. Our team found it much less crowded on powder days.
Which airport is best?
Jackson Hole (JAC) is closest (60-90 mins), but Idaho Falls (IDA) is often easier to drive in storms and has cheaper flights.
Do I need an AWD car?
Yes. The 12-mile Ski Hill Road from Driggs is steep and often snow-packed; 4WD/AWD is highly recommended for safety.
Is there a cat-skiing operation?
Yes, Grand Targhee is one of the few US resorts with dedicated cat-skiing terrain on Peaked Mountain.
Does the resort have a grocery store?
There is a small general store on-site, but our team recommends stocking up at the Broulim's in Driggs before heading up.
