Grand Targhee
A. Grand Teton view. Some days you see it, some days you don't.
B. Blue dots for the Pacific moisture channel, that flows through the Sierra/Cascade Gap uninterrupted along the Snake River Plain, until it hits the Tetons. The secret to the resort's consistent snowfall.
C. Color blind test dots for the blinding fog on top sometimes, but that same fog protects the powder from sun damage. Targhee is usually #3 in snow quality, unusual for a west facing resort. Fog is friend.
D. Grateful Dead inspired lettering to match Targhee's laid back vibe.
E. Shoshone-Bannock beadwork for the Native names of the lifts, runs and lodges. Also echoes local former Sego Ski bases.
F. Tiny blue hole for Jamie Pierre's world record 255 foot cliff drop.
G. Hike accessed Mary's Nipple and now lift served Peaked Mountain.
H. This cowboy hat honors original employee Leon "Slim" Weston. Farmer by summer, Lifty and Ambassador by winter, for 45 straight seasons!
I. In the spoon of the ski I hid a bushy black mustache to recognize Ignacio "Nacho" Orduno's 34 years of service as the resort's head chef.
J. A well hidden black "J" for Olympian Jaelin Kauf and her "Silver Jae" run.
K. Dreamcatcher shape lined up to where DC unloads on Fred's.
L. A little LOOK at another Teton Valley ski product: CAST touring bindings.
M. Founded by a group of East Idaho locals in 1969.
