This week Grand Targhee Resort put out the word about some major projects in the works on and off the mountain, with the cost totaling over $20 million in investment.Â
Aside from the installation of the new Blackfoot lift in 2017, the resort has seen little in the way of large-scale capital improvements or big base upgrades. That changed this winter as construction began on the large equipment maintenance facility on Forest Service land; the old facility roof collapsed under snow in 2019, forcing base and mountain operations to make do in temporary spaces. The new 13,000 sq. ft. structure is home to state-of-the-art systems and equipment, said resort marketing director Jennie White. The resort also purchased two new grooming machines.

Under the direction of a Danish greenhouse engineer, Thomas Larssen, Vertical Harvest was built with highly technical systems to maintain ideal moisture and temperatures throughout the microclimates and to manage the ultraviolet LED lighting for growing tightly packed plants that mature rapidly and produce high yields. A nutrient solution of phosphate, potassium and nitrogen are added to the water. The roots adhere to peat moss, coconut husks and hemp.
Integrated pest management is employed to handle insects, algae, mold and mildew. Sanitation is the first and most effective defense. âBeneficialsâ are introduced â âgoodâ bugs, such as ladybugs, eat the undesirable bugs, such as aphids. As a last resort, pesticides, herbicides and fungicides that meet or exceed organic standards are used, some as simple as sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and hydrogen peroxide.
