This ski season started out with a very dry November, which led to a delayed opening at Grand Targhee. And then opening day wound up being the first ever single-green-run-with-artificial-snow opening that I know of. Things got a little better in December – the Dreamcatcher lift finally opened on December 3rd, but it was still the worst rock season ever.
Then in January, the snow finally came – over 8 feet of it in the first 12 days of January. The video of me powder skiing below was shot on January 10, 2020. The fresh snowfall totals that day were 28″ in 48 hours, 21″ in 24 hours, and 12″ since the lifts closed. And instead of the usual fog and clouds, the sun was actually out with a deep and clear blue sky. This was glorious fun!
