It's worth buying a ticket.

Soldier kinda far unless you're flying to Boise.

Looks like a rad trip. Hope it works out for you.

Maybe hit Mt. Spokane on a blackout date? They were still on liftopia last year. Another really cool place and the friendliest staff around! On my phone now, so no pics, sorry. Will try to add more stoke pics later. Your trip is making jealous! I need to start planning one.

 

[jaytrem]

Another thought, would it be worth upgrading the indy to the no blackout version?

 

[SKI-3PO]

Tamarack is a decent blackout weekend option. It will be less busy than Brundage.

I'm a big fan of ski safaris. Instead of apres at the bar you drive. Just land and hotwire rooms as you go. Land in slc and go in the direction of the storms track. I once put 2k on a little shitbox and returned it at the airport with the check engine light on haha.

Just remembered McCall tends to have cheap airbnb/vbro rentals. I suspect it might be more of a summer retreat with the lake being right there. Definitely worth looking into. Tomorrow I'll try to find the place we stayed in last time we were there.

We put about 2k on one out of Prince George, only problem was it only included 1500. I think it was about .35 extra every mile after that. Not terrible, but we did walk to dinner whenever possible.

CDA = Couer d'Alene

Home of one of the craziest boom housing markets in America. Boise's up there too. Seems everyone's moving to Idaho.

Didn’t read all it, but came to post pics of Pomerelle. Place is Fucking cool. Little. Old school. I hit it on a random epic day coming back from sun valley

That is on my to-do list.

ya pomerelle was too far south for this jaunt.

I'm very excited to check out a new ski region, and one that is known for lack of crowds. its been fun doing tahoe, colorado, utah the past few years, but particularly co and ut are just such a shitshow every day now.
