Are Boys Ski Trips or Girls Ski Trips Better? We Found Out at Grand Targhee

What happens at Grand Targhee stays at Grand Targhee…? Well, maybe, but last winter, during POWDER’s gear test, we had too much fun at the Wyoming hideaway to keep it all under wraps.

That, of course, translated to the heaps of gear reviews now live on our website. We didn’t only spend the week carefully providing tester feedback, though. We skied (an essential part of ski testing, as you might expect), danced, lounged in the hot tub, ate nachos, and drank beers at the Trap Bar, Targhee’s iconic après haunt. 

All the shenanigans were caught by our video team and edited together, creating the video you’re about to watch: a not-so-serious meditation on two prototypical kinds of ski trips: the boys’ trip and the girls’ trip. 

“When a massive late-season storm cycle hits Grand Targhee, two groups of skiers take on the mountain in completely opposite styles. But when the snow is this deep on the west side of the Tetons, line choices and vacation plans merge pretty fast.

From untracked powder fields, cliff hits, and tree runs to classic Targhee après-ski at the Trap Bar, this is what making the pilgrimage to the Tetons is all about.“
