Idaho is not a headliner for western skiing like
Colorado and Utah. As the license plate indicates, Idaho is more about
“famous potatoes.” Our Idaho family ski trip revealed that Idaho is
not just the origin of skiing; it is skiing in its essence.
Idaho has 18 ski areas, from lesser known family resorts like Bogus Basin
and Soldier to world class resorts like the famous Sun Valley.
Our family editors
explored five Idaho ski resorts,
Sun Valley, Brundage,
Bogus
Basin, Soldier and
Tamarack. We gave big thumbs up to the potato-growing,
powder snow state where the chairlift and the ski vacation week originated
in the late 1930’s. Idaho should be on every skier’s map – but it’s not. You
will find wide open slopes, un-crowded mountains and spectacular scenery that
goes on for miles, from Oregon to Wyoming. You will also find Idaho people
are as warm as the ski slopes come spring time, and as genuine as the
fresh water lakes and rivers that grace the mountainous state.
