    TR: Grand Targhee Super Deep Day

    I had a sick day shredding with the family up at Grand Targhee. It was classic a classic Targhee sleeper day. Going to bed at midnight it had not even begun to snow. We rallied early though just to make a day out of it. There was hardly any fresh in the valley. By the time we got to the base we realized they had gotten a bunch more than we thought. The report said it was twelve. It skied more like 24". It was perfect for my 5 year old son Kai, who got the deepest turns of his life.

    Good form for a 5 year old. He said it felt cool having the snow hit his face.


    Dad got a little bit of the goods as well!


    The wife got some of the goods as well.

    Some of the best turns of the season for me. Hopefully we finish strong.

    We were at Targhee for the weekend taking advantage of the "ski for free with a season pass from anywhere if you stay on the hill" deal. Saturday was the best day of the season for sure.

    Watching Kai get those lines had to be one of the best things you have ever witnessed on skis. Nice going papa Todd.
