Winter
Recreation
Get outside under our sunny
blue skies. If gravity moves you, try our feather-light
powder and short lift lines. With over 16,000 acres in
16 downhill areas, there's something for every taste and
ability. Our 46 Nordic ski areas offer lots of room to
glide, and Idaho's more than 7,200 miles of groomed
snowmobile trails will get your motor running. Take in a
festival or winter carnival, try ice-skating, or go
tubing with the kids. Your adventure is waiting - for a
lot less than you think.
Ski Alpine: Idaho
is blessed with some of the West's driest powder. Try
our long, perfectly groomed runs, and
died-and-gone-to-heaven backcountry skiing. Check out
our world-class resorts and value-priced regional hills.
You'll find a family-friendly wonderland without the
crowds. Strap on the sticks, it's time to catch the
powder hounds.
Ski
Nordic:
Idaho's trails run through National Forests, State Parks
and ski resorts. In addition, the Idaho Department of
Parks and Recreation offers thirteen separate trail
systems across the state - several with overnight yurt
lodging. For a small fee, this Park N' Ski program
offers a permit for annual or temporary parking at the
trailheads. Stretch out, take a deep breath, and get
reacquainted with your sense of wonder.
Snowmobiling:
Idaho has more groomed trails than any other western
state - and some of the most spectacular scenery you'll
ever see. You can run free through freshly blanketed
valleys, across frozen lakes, and wide-open plains. Gas,
food, and lodging are nearby in friendly Idaho towns,
and many resorts and guest ranches welcome snowmobilers.
We're on the way to Yellowstone, so skip the crowds and
crank up the fun throttle. For more information on
Idaho’s snowmobile opportunities contact the Idaho
Department of Parks and Recreation 208.334.4199,

Additional Winter Activities:
Warm up your winter in Idaho. Light shows and winter
carnivals run from December through March. Many resorts
offer sledding and tubing fun, and ice-skating can be
found both indoors and out. Try a horse-drawn sleigh
ride or take a hay wagon to a yurt for dinner. Idaho is
a winter wonderland, so get outside and play. |
