TRAVEL: Wydaho PowderHouse ~ The Teton Experience, Local Cuisine, Friendly People....

This year I invite new cultures to experience Grand Targhee and our quiet corner of Idaho!



The deal is to ride powder, make new friends, see a new place, and share good times.



Here are some images from last year in Teton Valley!

Through a partnership with my long time Friend "Nobuyuki" from Niseko, Hokkaido; Japan who works for Gentemstick Snowboards and myself, a long-time Powder Bum. We welcome you to come relax and Enjoy Idaho!

This concept will allow small groups of International travelers to book one of a kind hosted winter vacation experience here at Grand Targhee in Teton Valley.



Grand Targhee boasts over 400 inches of snow average annually and is virtually unknown!



It will be on a small scale maybe 4-6 groups of 4-8 people for durations of a week or two!



The focus will be riding Powder, Eating well, Relaxing, and Soaking in the culture!



This program is built to ambassador new International visitors to Grand Targhee and provide a premium experience here on the Wydaho side of the pass!



Day trips will be offered as need to Jackson, Granite Springs, Yellowstone, and snowmobiles can also be accessed for day rates.


We get the groups familiar with the area, local amenities, and handle lodging and ticketing and other needs for them.

We work with local business in the community and are grateful for their participation in the form of coupons or offers of deals for the travelers for rentals, food, activities, etc!



Check back soon for Location and Pics of the House! We will post rates and date availability soon. We look forward to a great season again here in Teton Valley!



How to Get Here:

We will post airline suggestions soon but check from Tokyo to LAX OR SEATTLE then to Idaho Falls or Jackson direct, A 4X4 rental care is highly recommended.

RESORT UPDATE: Mary's Nipple at Grand Targhee

If you ever find yourself in Jackson Hole, Make sure you make the trip across the pass for some uncrowded lines at Grand Targhee resort. At some point in your ski bum life you must hike to the summit of Marys Nipple at Grand Targhee Resort and feast your eyes in the Grand Teton and its younger sisters, Mt. Owen, The Middle.

Marys nipple got its name from the resorts original owners and planners!

The West side of the Nipple offers some great side country access to some of the best powder available in the Northern Rockies.

The slopes are short but incredibly sweet, some shots of up to 1100 vertical can be lapped countless times with a short boot pack to the summit.



Grand Targhee recently added an Avalanche Beacon farm to encourage the safe use of the backcountry accessed in there backyard!
