ALTA, Wyo., Jan. 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Grand Targhee Resort, located in Teton Valley, Wyoming on the back-side of Jackson Hole, has been blessed with 142 inches of early-season snowfall resulting in a 47 inch base with more snow in the forecast. Targhee is offering a “ski free” program to skiers who have bought season passes to any U.S. or Canadian Ski resort for this 2012 season. The offer is good for any skier who books three nights or more lodging through Grand Targhee’s website or central reservations.

“We respect how precious skiing and riding is to the die-hard winter enthusiasts who commit to season pass purchases,” said Ken Rider, director of marketing & sales for Grand Targhee Resort. “Weather is fickle and we realize that every resort is but one big dump away from the record conditions we all enjoyed last season. For now, we have gotten loads of snow and we want to reach out and use this early season to introduce skiers who love powder to the 2,602 acres available at the ‘Ghee. All three mountains, Fred’s, Peaked and Mary’s are open with 100 percent of our terrain. We think it’s a good time to plan a ‘break away’ to Grand Targhee for a long weekend or full week of skiing.”
