Each year for the past 15 years I have attended two or more Road Scholar (Elderhostel) downhill ski programs each year. Consistently, this program at Grand Targhee has been the best of any of them. The snow quality and quantity is almost always superior to other ski resorts. The ski instruction is outstanding, the meals are great, and the ski-in, ski-out Alpine-style lodging is wonderful. If you want to choose a program that will give you the best chance for a powder experience, this is the one.
