OPENING DAY UPDATE:

Targhee’s motto used to be “snow from heaven, not hoses.” We retired that tagline after we installed a few snow guns, but we are still largely reliant on Mother Nature to open up the resort.

We are going to delay the opening until it is cold enough to blow snow or we get enough precipitation to open up the resort safely. We can’t wait to ski with you and we will get things open as soon as possible!

We asked local legend and Open Snow forecaster Alan Smith about the outlook for the foreseeable future….

"November has been unseasonably warm with temperatures running 8-10°F above average through the first 16 days of the month. This warmth combined with minimal natural snowfall since October has prevented an early season snowpack from building as is typical at this time of year.

Temperatures are going to be slightly cooler this week but still a bit above normal for mid November. Unfortunately the pattern has also trended drier and snow potential for the rest of this week looks minimal.

Next week (starting around Nov 24-25), temperatures are likely going to be another step colder which is good news, but snowfall potential still looks iffy, as recent model runs are backing off some on what previously looked like an active pattern. It could still end up snowing, there just isn’t a whole lot of confidence right now.

For the end of November and into early December, long range model projections look more conducive to snow which is good news. But at the same time, it’s hard to put much trust into these longer projections right now since we’ve seen similar projections over the past 2 weeks only for models to back off on the snowier projections once we get about 7-10 days out. Sometimes stubborn weather patterns like this can take longer to break down than 7+ dayweather model projections indicate."
