After two days of hardpack at Jackson Hole, it was great to be back on a foot of fresh snow at in-bounds Grand Targhee yesterday; however, cat skiing today was incredible.
I’m probably the only one on this forum who had never been cat skiing, and now I’m kicking myself for not doing it sooner. In the past, whenever I looked over at the cat-skiing terrain from the top of Sacagawea (Dreamcatcher is the main lift that leaves from the base village), I always thought that it looked underwhelming, but it certainly didn’t feel that way when I was skiing it. Every run was untracked until the last 200 verts (we made 11 descents of approximately 2,000 feet).
I was the only non-member of a group of people who have been doing three straight days of December cat-skiing there for years, and when I asked if they’ve ever run out of untouched terrain to ski because it hadn’t snowed in the previous few days, they all laughed and said “never happened!”
