Grand Targhee is one of those places that is a bit out of the way and very much a ski hill for the locals, the dedicated, the aged and people who just like to ski! We didn't queue for a lift all day and on many occasions were the only ones on the run. In fact it was quite annoying when someone else dared to drop in on your run. My knee held up okay, so that was a bonus. When you stop for morning tea it is entertaining to watch all the locals, who obviously have their tables, know everyone and are there for a chat as much as a ski. Many people just leave their belongings on a hook or under a table in the eating area and trust that they will still be there when they come back. A real family skiing area. Apart from all of that, it is just a really nice place to ski. The snow was good, the skies were clear till lunch time and then it snowed all afternoon.
We had a spa this afternoon, in the open air with the snow falling, always special. Then went out to the local Trap Bar, where they had open mic (don't worry, we didn't sing) till 6.00. By 6.30 we had eaten tea and were back home ready for a good night's sleep. Lots of skiing to be had tomorrow, hopefully on fresh snow.
Got to go up the lift that wasn't open last time we were here - opens up lots of area - only 3 main lifts but heaps of places to ski - did a few runs after Margo called it a day - thought about a repeat of a tree run I did with Casey and Marnie but remembered how long they were stuck under a tree - they came out laughing but on my own it wouldn't be the same.
Spa was hot but the jets were grass - no power at all. Margo can't walk very fast but can still ski so all good - anyone wanting a stock market tip - buy into companies selling strapping tape for knees - Margo will ensure a positive share price!
