Teton Teepee open again, $19.00 a night.

**rideit** · 12-15-2008, 05:13 PM

I don't have info on whether the bar or restaurant are opening as well, but I do know they are offering bunks (dorm style) for $19.00, and private rooms for $79. They are pretty much the closest lodging to Targhee. More details to come, psyched to see this return to old school ski bummin' options. Any of you looking for an excuse to throw in a Targhee day or two into a road trip, this is a very, very fun and funky place to stay.

I have never had a night at the teepee that didn't end up with the police being called or me running from the police.

I really like the teepee

Does it still have the hot tub and the serve yourself bar?

**rideit** · 12-15-2008, 06:07 PM

I'll check in tomorrow...last I looked, the hottub was in severe disrepair. In the past, even the bunk options got you free PBR, all *night*. I don't know what the new model is, it is being run by Squeaks son, so it might be a little leaner and meaner in this economy. I'll try and get more details asap. It will have the rad fireplace, pool, poker tables, foosball, shuffleboard, internet, Sat. TV, etc, so for $19.00 (or $79.) that is a fair deal. I am not involved this year, I will report what I know soon. I would be way psyched if they got it up to full operations.

Just to be clear, this is a physical teepee, and not one you're pitching in your pants, correct?

**MuleSkinner** · 12-15-2008, 06:09 PM

Can't wait! I have missed this place dearly - heart the teepee

No, it's the one in my pants. I have foosball, a shuffleboard table, and a keg of PBR stashed behind my nuts. You should come over.

great timing on the post. I got a couple of snowboard rowdys coming out from bend and am sending them your way.

**bostonski** · 12-15-2008, 07:32 PM

That place looks unreal. I gotta add that to my hitlist.

Just gotta watch out for the "techno twins"

Can embed sorry

Whether the bar opens or not, it is the kinda place that basically would encourage y'all to brown bag a bunch of whisky, order pizzas, and rock out with the other guests. It is super-chill, I hope it continues with that vibe. I don't see why it wouldn't, the kid running it this go around is a third generation Melehes. Jaeger, BITCHES!!!

**beefcake** · 12-15-2008, 07:44 PM

how far is this from jackson?

**rideit** · 12-15-2008, 07:48 PM

Technically, it's really, really close...but there is this little Mountain Range in the way.

It is 8 miles to Targhee, and ~40 miles to Jackson (town). I bet it's only 15 miles to the Village, though. (as the crow flies)

**beefcake** · 12-15-2008, 07:55 PM

i'm staying in the actual town of jackson and i might be willing to extend my road trip and extra day or two to stay in this teepee, sounds like fun. any place where there's a bar where you serve yourself and then have a giant sleep over is my kind of place

**rideit** · 12-15-2008, 07:58 PM

It IS that kind of place.

Not many places left like that in this silly country, I reckon'.

**Boom Heir** · 12-15-2008, 08:08 PM

Too bad the reservations page on their website isn't working or I'd be booked already

**Sirshredalot** · 12-15-2008, 08:17 PM

The place is fucking HUGE. I doubt a reservation is even necessary if you don't mind the bunk room.

**Boom Heir** · 12-15-2008, 08:45 PM

$19 a night makes me not care about the bunk room. Seems like it'd be cheaper to stay there and drive across the pass than it would be to stay in town. And its gotta be what, 30 seconds from Targhee!?

**rideit** · 12-15-2008, 10:30 PM

I wouldn't count on them (anyone there) being available on-line...it's an old school deal. Pick up the damn phone n' call, whippersnapper!
(And I doubt you would need a reservation, especially since they cancelled all of them last summer, not expecting to be open...)

But stay out of the hot tub. It is in severe disrepair.

**Boom Heir** · 12-29-2008, 08:58 PM

The guy on the answering machine sounds like Sage...

**televback1** · 12-29-2008, 11:45 PM

age restrictions? i am about 6 months off 18 and I need a place for buddies to stay in February that is cheap!

**rideit** · 12-30-2008, 01:11 AM

I don't think there are any age restrictions. It's not that kind of place.

**televback1** · 12-30-2008, 08:55 AM
