Tamarack Campervan Skiing
A two hour drive North from Boise is Tamarack Resort. This beautiful resort boasts excellent skiing and snow boarding and some great views of Lake Cascade. One of the best parts of the resort is the lack of lift lines. Every time we have skied at this resort, we have never had go wait in line to get on a lift. The resort is ideal for intermediate skiers and riders. There is a great beginner area right near the lodge and you will find no line at all on most days. More advanced skiers and riders will find the most challenging runs off of the summit.
With a heated van (like our Wandervan), it is possible to park a campervan overnight in the Aspen Parking lot right near the entrance. We recommend first checking in with the information desk since there may be a small fee. Otherwise, near by Brundage Mountain Resort allows overnight parking in their lot for campervans. If you need another place to park overnight, you can try the West Face Snowmobile lot right across from the Bear Creek Lodge.
Recommended Routes Advanced Skiers and Riders:
Adrenaline and Funnel: Start off Canoe Ridge from the top of the Summit chair. You might have a drop off to get onto the ski run and then you will have a nice steep run in a large snow bowl.
After You and Me First: To the south of the Summit chair you will find the other advanced bowl this one has some nice ski lines tucked into the trees down the center. These lines are often overlooked on powder days so you may find some fresh stashes.
For those not into skiing or riding, there are plenty of other winter activities to explore and the Village Food Hall has some great food and drink options.
Campervans available for rent in Boise, Salt Lake City, Portland, and Coeur d’Alene.
