All about Southeast Idaho Snowmobiling!

Skiing
and Snowboarding brings an honest challenge at Pebble Creek Ski Area. A new Terrain Park is popular with snowboarders. It's just a short hike from the chair lift to ski the powder of the ungroomed back side of the mountain.

Hundreds of miles of groomed trails for Cross Country Skiing or Nordic Skiing are found at Soda Springs, Bear Lake, Lava Hot Springs and on Scout Mountain south of Pocatello.

You can plan multi day ski trips that include overnight lodging in the yurts along the Portneuf Range Hut System.

Snow Shoeing
offers a chance to enjoy the scenic beauty of the Highline Trail or the Bear River countryside where natural geothermal water rises to make steam for nesting waterfowl.

Ice Fishing
on Bear Lake and our many reservoirs is a popular pastime.

Sleigh Ride anywhere and on Montpelier's new hill with a tow rope. Many towns have their own Ice Skating Rinks.

Hot Pools at Lava Hot Springs, Riverdale Resort, Downata Hot Springs and Maple Grove Hot Springs invite you to soak, relax and warm up after an  exhilarating day of playing in the snow.

Our many Hotels, Bed & Breakfasts and Vacation Ranches provide a cozy, warm place to sleep.

Thursday of the rodeo the contestants head up to Pebble Creek Ski Area to put on the Cowboy Classic, which is riding a saddle attached to a barrel that has snow skies bolted to the bottom. They are required to ride the barrel over two jumps and very few make it to the bottom without falling off.
