## Quick Summary

<p>Grand Targhee gets 500 inches of annual powder while Jackson Hole (30 miles away) absorbs the chaos. That ratio of snow to crowds is the whole appeal. Sioux Lodge sits a 60-second walk from Kids Club, lifts, and lessons, with boot dryers in every room. Best for ages 3 to 12. Kids 6 to 12 ski free with lodging, and rooms run $200 to $250 a night (genuinely rare for ski-in/ski-out). The catch? Strong teen skiers will exhaust the terrain in three days, and evening entertainment tops out at the heated pool and s'mores.</p>
