Powder day on Feb. 17, 2019 at Grand Targhee!
Targhee got 14 inches in the last 24 hours, with 9 inches after lifts closed yesterday. Better yet, it was fluffy powder, 6% according to the mountain snow report. Given that it’s a holiday weekend, there were lots of local families in addition to travelers. Locals have been skiing fresh snow all week with a storm total of 41 inches.
Bill and I opted to ski off the Sacagawea lift first thing in the morning because there was quite a line. Unusual for Targhee but not unexpected.

Fluffy snow everywhere!
We used our all-mountain skis, 85 underfoot for me, 90 underfoot for Bill
I found untracked powder after lunch, knee deep, below some trees in the Painted Pony area
Blue sky most of the day, but snowed for a little while right about the time we went in for an early lunch around 11:30
Clearing up at 1:00
