Targhee SnowCat Day
On Sunday we used our rain checks from Cat Skiing at Grand Targhee last year. During the past week the Tetons received about 15-20 inches of snow, with 5 falling on Saturday.
Once on the hill, early season conditions existed, but the snow was between boot to thigh deep with about 1 foot of light blower snow on the top. The cat ski area at Targhee is fairly small, so it was not uncommon to feel old tracks, but every few turns the untouched patches of thigh deep snow existed.
This summer Targhee cut a few new trails for cat skiing and they represent the steepest runs the mountain. After a few more feet of snow these trails will be completely filled in and serve up excellent skiing. Overall, most of the cat ski terrain is intermediate, but the day was enjoyable with a few feet of fresh powder.
