  • Grand Targhee Resort to Replace Blackfoot Chairlift (Alta, WY – April
    Contact: Jennie White Marketing & Social Media Grand Targhee Resort (o): 307-353-2300 x 1328 [email protected] Grand Targhee Resort to Replace Blackfoot Chairlift (Alta, WY – April 13, 2016) Grand Targhee Resort is excited to announce that the Blackfoot chairlift will be replaced with a new Doppelmayr fixed grip quad chairlift this summer. The Blackfoot chairlift has been an iconic piece of Grand Targhee Resort’s history since 1974, when it was installed. This lift accesses over 500 acres and 1,200 vertical feet of terrain. The lone double chair is due for retirement and with this, brings a new chapter in Grand Targhee’s history. The old Blackfoot chair, manufactured by Riblet, was built in 1974 and had a 960 passenger per hour uphill capacity. The total ride time was about 12 minutes. Moving forward, Blackfoot will be replaced by a Doppelmayr fixed grip quad with comfort bar and foot rests that can haul 1,800 guests per hour. The total ride time will decrease to 7 minutes. In the event of a power outage the new lift will be able to run off of diesel power. Construction on the lift will begin immediately with the goal of having the new Blackfoot lift ready for opening day of the 2016/17 winter season. “The entire resort team is excited to replace and upgrade the Blackfoot chairlift,” stated marketing & sales director, Ken Rider. He goes on to say, “The resort ownership and entire team is committed to the guest experience and reinvesting in the resort with ongoing improvements. This is the largest and most visible of many recent

  • Request for Qualifications GTR.Docx
    Request for Qualifications Consulting Services: Analysis of Ski Resort Expansion Socio-economic Impacts Teton County, Idaho is seeking a consultant to perform an analysis of cumulative socio-economic and infrastructure impacts resulting from ski area development at Wyoming’s Grand Targhee Resort. Background The Grand Targhee ski and summer resort is located on the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in Teton County, Wyoming, just east of the state boundary with Idaho. Surrounded on three sides by federally designated wilderness and the rugged peaks of the iconic Teton Range, the resort’s only road access is via Teton Valley, Idaho, which straddles the state line. Grand Targhee management has proposed transforming its base area, a 120-acre private inholding within the National Forest, into a major, self-contained destination resort, including real estate sales and significantly expanded commercial activity. They are also proposing a 35% increase to their Forest Service special-use permit area and a doubling of present skier capacity. Impacts on public services, transportation infrastructure, local labor supply and housing will fall largely on the communities within Teton County, Idaho, yet tax revenue from this development will flow exclusively to Wyoming. This analysis is meant to supplement a NEPA Environmental Impact Statement study, currently in progress, that focuses on new resort development on Forest Service Lands. Grand Targhee’s Master Development Plan proposes a number of new lifts, increased snow-making, new summer trails, extensive terrain modifications, two on-mountain restaurants, several small warming huts and expansion of the resort’s operational boundaries. The goal of the analysis for which we are hiring a consultant is to consider the cumulative impacts of development at the resort’s privately owned base area--approved by Teton County, Wyoming in 2019--in addition to the proposed ski infrastructure improvements and expansion that fall under NEPA.
