SnowCat Adventures

One of the hallmarks of the Grand Targhee experience is a SnowCat Adventure on Peaked Mountain. For you and just eleven other skiers/riders, a huge powder reserve of 1,000 acres awaits and up to 20,000 vertical feet in a day. Come follow our expert guides through expansive north-facing bowls, mellow, gladed cruisers and steep treed pitches, with breathtaking views of the Tetons all around – one of the greatest thrills in North America and best cat skiing in Wyoming. Check out the video.

TEN NEW TRAILS off the top of Peaked Mountain accessible only via the snowcat program.
