Why Grand Targhee Resort is Highly Rated

Grand Targhee Resort has claimed gold for the Best Overall Ski Resort in the World for 2025 with an outstanding 4.73/5.00 overall rating. Despite being more under the radar than other household-name US ski destinations, Grand Targhee delivers well-rounded excellence across all aspects, from its exceptional terrain variety to its consistently superb snow quality. "This is powder heaven," raves Paul, an intermediate skier from the UK, while advanced skier Aidan emphasises that Grand Targhee "has some of the best snow in the country." The terrain caters to everyone - Tyler, an advanced skier from the US, points to "awesome tree runs, cliffs and groomers" with "enough variety to have fun all day." The recent lift upgrades haven't gone unnoticed either, with Ashley, an expert skier, appreciating the "new lift is fast and comfortable" while maintaining the "family-friendly feel" that makes Targhee special.

Despite growing in cult status and popularity amongst those in the know, it maintains its authentic character, with advanced snowboarder Bryson noting, "If you want a chill experience with great terrain and snow forget Jackson H and go to Targhee." Advanced skier Jim highlights the "TOP NOTCH ski and snowboard school for all ages" and "reasonable food prices," while Ryan, another advanced skier, sums up the Targhee experience perfectly - "A great resort with consistently excellent snow, great value and never too crowded."

With over 500 inches of snow per year and an impeccable ratings profile that consistently punches aboves its fame, it may be a surprise winner in name recognition but not in the data. This authentic resort has superb ratings for value for money (4.50/5.00), quiet slopes (4.46/5.00), family-friendliness (4.72/5.00), groomed runs (4.54/5.00), powder zones (4.86/5.00), lifts (4.62/5.00) and more - a no-frills, true skier's resort!
