Best Ski Resort for Off-Piste in Wyoming: Jackson Hole - Off-Piste Rating
Jackson Hole's off-piste terrain is legendary among our community. One Snomad user described it as having "infinite lines on a Mountain" that has "ruined skiing typical resorts" for them. The terrain offers exceptional variety with steep tree lines and sick cliffs that keep even expert riders challenged. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said they "can always find a powder stash or two in the trees" even when it's not actively snowing. The mountain's vastness means you could "spend a month there without touching the same snow twice," making Jackson Hole's backcountry access a true powder paradise for those seeking challenging terrain.
#2 Grand Targhee Resort - Off-Piste Rating
Grand Targhee is a powder paradise for off-piste enthusiasts. Our users consistently rave about the exceptional freeride terrain, with one expert skier describing it as having "loads of cliffs and endless powder." The resort gets hammered with consistent snowfall, creating what another user calls "some of the deepest days of my life." Tree runs are particularly celebrated, with advanced riders loving the powder stashes among the glades. As one Snomad community member puts it, "This is powder heaven." If you're looking to escape the crowds of nearby Jackson Hole for untouched lines and quality off-piste, Targhee should be top of your list.
#3 Snowy Range Ski & Recreation Area - Off-Piste Rating
Off-piste at Snowy Range offers mixed experiences for adventurous skiers. While not extensive, the terrain provides some enjoyable options between the trees. A Snomad community member who's an expert skier mentioned that despite not having "the tree runs and powder everyone is looking for," it still delivers decent off-piste adventures. Another advanced snowboarder highlighted the backside of the mountain as "cooler and quieter" for those seeking less tracked areas. Some users note that fresh powder can be found almost weekly during winter, making for occasional good off-piste days despite the resort's modest size and primarily groomed focus.
