Best Ski Resort for Expert Skiers in Wyoming: Grand Targhee Resort - Experts Rating
Expert skiers at Grand Targhee rave about the resort's incredible powder. One Snomad community member liked the "steep and fun terrain" that's usually not overcrowded. The mountain gets an "insane" amount of annual snow, creating amazing conditions throughout 90% of the season. Users particularly praise the off-piste options and tree runs, with one describing it as having "big mountain terrain with small mountain feel." The backcountry access receives special mention, with Eliot noting the "endless powder" and "loads of cliffs." Despite being less known than nearby Jackson Hole, experts consider Targhee a hidden gem with some of the deepest powder days you'll experience.
#2 Jackson Hole - Experts Rating
Jackson Hole leaves experts grinning from ear to ear. "It's like nowhere else I have ever skied. It's not about the runs, it's about infinite lines on a Mountain," shares Dave, a skier who reckons it's ruined typical resorts for him. Another expert simply declares it "BIG!!!" with an "incredible" mountain. The extreme terrain gets snowboarders buzzing too – "STEEP everything is" explains Sampson, who plans to retire there. While the tram queues can frustrate (one user mentions hour-long waits), and it's definitely pricey, Jackson's challenging slopes deliver what experts crave: genuine adventure on a mountain that doesn't hold back.
