Pebble Creek is one of the last ski resorts in the area to open, but Kmetz says the timing isnât unusual.
âItâs a fairly average open date,â Kmetz said.
Kelly Canyon Ski Resort near Ririe opened on Thursday, while Grand Targhee Resort in Alta, Wyoming, and Pomerelle Mountain Resort in Albion were both able to open some features in late November.
Teton County, Idaho, has a seat at the table in discussions over the sweeping expansion proposed on public land at Grand Targhee Resort.
Because the Caribou-Targhee National Forest granted Teton County cooperating agency status on Dec. 8, a county representative will be a member of the interdisciplinary team that is going through the Environmental Impact Statement process and examining the impacts of the lift additions, infrastructure improvements, boundary adjustments, and new trail development laid out in the Grand Targhee Resort Master Development Plan.
The master development plan includes the addition of around 1,200 acres on the south and west side of the resortâs 2,500-acre special permit area, as well as restaurants on the summit of Fredâs Mountain and at the top of the Sacajawea lift, to name just a few proposals. This comes in tandem with the resortâs already-approved residential and commercial development planned for the private land around the base area.
