There's five runs open from Shoshone lift currently. The two right under the lift are green and blue. Bring It On Home is an easy trail, with some small berms and rollers to play on. Shake Em On Down is a blue, with more spots to catch air and more challenging features like tighter spaced trees, larger rollers, and some decent sized dips that will challenge your ability to hold your line. Not too bad, really. Chutes and Ladders and Otter Slide are a hoot. Several smaller tabletop jumps you can roll or send, wall rides, and turns with big berms. Past those two is Lower Bullwinkle, which is the tail end of my favorite blue run. Big, highly bermed turns built to take at Mach Chicken, some pretty respectable jumps like tabletops and step ups, and some actual embedded rocks. All of these are a great intro to park riding, and totally doable on a longer travel trail FS rig. I prefer my Norco Sight over a DH rig on these since it's more willing to jump and is poppier over bonus features. I usually don't rent a bike unless Dreamcatcher lift is open and I want to ride the black diamond runs. They are super rugged and chock full of rock gardens and drops as big as 4'.
Most of Targhee's XC stuff is really buff on the Rick's Basin side, unless you get all the way out to the far end around Quakie. Action Jackson and Colter's on the Peaked side have some rock and root rolls, but nothing big. If you want techy singletrack, look around JH or come further out to the Kelly Canyon area.
