Under-the-Radar Ski Destinations in the Mountain West
Ski destinations such as Park City and Jackson Hole often come with long lift lines, steeply priced passes, and soaring costs for lodging and real estate, pushing skiers to explore quieter mountain towns for a more serene experience on the slopes and a deeper connection with nature
Enter Teton Valley, one of the last unspoiled ski destinations in the West, just over the hill from Jackson Hole, offering exceptional snow, winter activities, access to national parks, and a lesser-known ski mountain, Grand Targhee Resort.
At the heart of this growing hub is Tributary, Teton Valley’s luxury residential community in Driggs, ID, which is a quick 20-minute drive to Grand Targhee Resort, which has been operating in the area since 1969. As a perk for homeowners, Tributary offers access to a members-only ski lounge at the base of the Grand Targhee for residents to warm up and enjoy refreshments, in addition to shuttle transportation from the development to the mountain. Tributary offers residences that range from 3-6 bedrooms, which all have unbeatable views of the Tetons and Teton River and exclusive resident access to the community’s luxury amenities.
Just over the hill from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, sits the Rocky Mountain West’s last best-kept secret, Tributary. The four-season, private club community that spans 1,500 acres is a basecamp for adventure-seekers, offering a one-of-a-kind setting rich in wildlife, fly fishing ponds, 500-acre fen-designated wetlands, and charming mountain culture. Tributary’s residences offer a sense of refined luxury in a sophisticated mountain-modern setting, with prices starting at $3 million. Tributary homes are complete with timeless features, including open floor plans designed to invite the outdoors in, local materials, exposed craftsmanship, and contemporary interiors. Residents have access to the following amenities: newly remodeled 18-hole David McLay Kidd-designed golf course; wellness facility; clubhouse with restaurant and bar; pool/hot tub; seven fishing ponds; a two-mile, elevated boardwalk; trails for cross-country skiing; kid-friendly snowmobile track and ice-skating rink; archery and tomahawk-throwing center; a members-only ski lounge at the Grand Targhee Resort base which is a 20-minute drive, and more.
