Snow Sports in Idaho

Nothing compares to snow sports in Idaho and winter sports enthusiasts look forward with anticipation each year for winter to arrive.
Snow Sports in Idaho

With 18 ski resorts throughout the state totaling more than 28,000 vertical feet of snow-soaked terrain, alpine skiers and snowboarders alike have no shortage of runs to choose from. Whether at world-famous Sun Valley Resort just three hours from Boise or Bogus Basin Ski Resort a short 40-minute drive from town, you can be skiing during the sun-filled days of winter and relaxing with friends around a fire pit that evening.

Snowmobiling is such a big deal here it’s common to see vehicles with a pair of skis in tow daily throughout the winter.  From groomed snowmobile trails to untouched snow with vast dramatic landscapes, Idaho’s backcountry transforms into a winter playground for snowmobile devotees.

Tubing is a family favorite and you don’t have to travel far if you live in the Treasure Valley.  Bogus Basin, just 16 miles from Boise city limits, has a fantastic tubing hill.  Gateway Parks transforms Eagle Island State Park in Eagle, Idaho, into a hometown tubing hill.  Both Bogus Basin and Gateway Parks require reservations, it’s that popular, so be sure to plan ahead.

Nordic skiing and snowshoeing are other winter favorite snow sports in Idaho.   Let’s face it, Idahoan’s love winter and with this much majestic beauty and nature calling, it’s easy to see why.

Meet Andrew Coleman

My wife and I have been married for 17 years and I’m the lucky father to 4 wonderful kids! My background is in physical therapy in many different settings. I worked as a physical therapist assistant for 7 years and still maintain my license today. With the changes in the field of PT I thoughtfully and prayerfully made the decision to become a REALTOR. My father has been a broker in both Oregon and Idaho for over 20 years. He’s been a valuable resource as I continue to learn this field. His approach is down to earth being from a farming community but he’s known across the valley for honesty and integrity…for just being himself. Watching his career I knew that I would still be able to help people and provide great customer service as a REALTOR.
