“We are thrilled to be moving forward. It is time for Grand Targhee to become a creative and inspirational leader in the worlds of mountain sports, culture, activities, and events,” said owner Geordie Gillett.
Physical and environmental factors will have a substantial role during the development of the conceptual plans. The resort has been gaining national interest for its significant sustainability programs implemented over the past three years. Therefore, the sustainable design and construction of future buildings, as well as protecting the environment and the wilderness, will guide this process, resort officials assert.
Based on the completion of the land-use plan, resort officials estimate that real estate opportunities could take nine to 18 months before they are available for release.
“Teton Valley residents and visitors have a deep passion for Grand Targhee Resort, we understand what makes us special, and we are committed to preserving and enhancing our unique family-style atmosphere," Gillett said. "The Teton Valley residents that founded Grand Targhee in the late 1960s set out to create a recreation area that would benefit the local communities, and we will continue to honor that mandate. Generations of families have honed their skiing and riding skills on Fred’s and Peaked Mountains for 38 seasons, and we look forward to enhancing the overall experience for our guests with the development of an environmentally, economically and socially sustainable resort.”
