ALTA, Wyo. — Grand Targhee Resort announced it will close for the season at the end of the businesses day today, March 15, to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

“The top priority has been the health and wellbeing of our guests, employees, and community,” Targhee said in a statement.

Lodging will remain open until 11 a.m. Wednesday, March 18. Wild Bills and the Branding Iron will also remain open to feed in-house guests who can’t leave yet. The airport shuttle and local shuttle will continue to operate on a limited schedule.

Uphill traffic is closed until further notice.

The resort is working on a departure package for all affected employees to help ease the unexpected transition. It will also automatically process refunds for future arrivals through April 19.

“We expect our team to be overwhelmed with calls, but rest assured we will work through all cancellations and refunds,” the resort said.

Snow King is still open, and JHMR is closed for the day but could open again.
