Idaho’s ski areas are scattered across the state’s rugged mountain ranges, offering a mix of historic resorts and smaller community hills. The best known is Sun Valley Resort near Ketchum, one of the first destination ski resorts in North America and the site of the world’s first chairlift, installed in 1936 on Proctor Mountain. Other major resorts include Schweitzer Mountain Resort near Sandpoint and Brundage Mountain Resort near McCall, both known for abundant snowfall and expansive terrain. With numerous smaller ski areas serving mountain communities throughout the state, Idaho offers a wide range of skiing opportunities in scenic and relatively uncrowded settings.
