Ski Group Lodging Near Grand Targhee
Targhee is worth the drive. Splitting a 20-person crew across condos isn't. A private lodge in Saint Anthony sleeps the whole group.
A ski group near Grand Targhee can comfortably stay together at Three Peaks Lodge, about an hour from the mountain in Saint Anthony. The lodge sleeps 40, exclusive to your crew, with a commercial kitchen and a hot tub. You don't stay in the base village, but your evenings allow for a level of togetherness you won’t find anywhere else.
The mountain can be perfect and the trip still sour, because half the group is in another building with another checkout and a kitchen the size of an airplane lavatory. That's how condo math loses friends.
What The Hour In The Car Buys You
One commercial kitchen that can feed everyone in the same dining space. Beds for the whole crew (sleeps up to 40). Indoor space for non-skiers and storm days. A hot tub you never have to share with other guests. And a pivot: Island Park snowmobiling is about 30 minutes from the lodge when Targhee is the wrong call. Kelly Canyon is about an hour if that is your destination.
How A Strong Weekend Runs
Name a ski lead and a lodge lead. Those are two jobs. Grocery in Rexburg or Idaho Falls on the way in, not from a resort village at dinner prices for 30 people. Set a departure time that respects winter roads. Plan one evening that isn't skiing, so the trip isn't only adrenaline.
The lodging is the winter rate for the whole house: $900 a night on fall–spring weekdays, $1,100 on those weekends, usually three nights. At a full lodge that's $22.50 to $27.50 a person per night before food and lift tickets.
Questions People Ask
Where can a large ski group stay near Grand Targhee?
Three Peaks Lodge in Saint Anthony is about an hour from Grand Targhee and sleeps up to 40 in one private lodge. You don't stay in the base village. You drive up in the morning and come back to one large kitchen, three living rooms, indoor tunnels, a castle and more things to do than you can imagine (pool, ping pong, foosball, air hockey, soft blocks, big wheels and more).
Why not split a ski group across condos at the resort?
The mountain can be perfect and the trip still feel stressful when half the group has a different checkout time and no one has a kitchen that can feed everyone. One lodge removes the sofa-bed argument and the hotel hot-tub queue.
Can the same group ski Targhee and snowmobile Island Park?
Yes. Island Park is about 30 minutes from the lodge, so a weather day can become a riding day without moving houses. Kelly Canyon, about an hour away, is the easier hill if the group includes beginners.
