I made it up on Saturday. The trees do such a good job blocking the wind once a person muscles their way from the parking lot onto the trail. The only wind I ran into was down on the Pole Creek trail, an out of the way section near the Happy Jack Snowsports area. I've had wind hit me on the Summit Loop also but the rest is wonderfully protected. Dogs are an issue at times. On some trails dogs are prohibited. You'd have to check the maps. Glad you made it up.

Trails in great shape, lots of skiers and skaters. Unfortunately lots of large dogs whose owners failed to announce their presence coming up from behind!

And sorry, I've never been to Grand Targhee so don't have any personal knowledge. Roger Colleen – Thanks for the comment.

Looks like you guys had a blast! I should get my kids out there...Good point about the long and brutal winters, we should be showing our kids that its better to get out and enjoy what we've got rather than complaining about the cold all day. I was doing a bit of searching and I wonder if you have any advice on traveling to this place in Idaho? http://www.grandtarghee.com/winter/nordic/index.php Wow! Looks like you guys had a blast!
