Wild ducks spend the winter on naturally warmed waters.

Snowmobiling is our biggest winter sport with over 600 miles of groomed trails and endless ungroomed trails. Several Hill Climbing contests are put on over the winter. Several Guest Ranches offer snowmobiling right from the front door!

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.

All about Southeast Idaho Nordic Skiing!

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 on many of the area snow covered hills and mountains. Some 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 Rentals and Ranches provide a cozy, warm place to sleep.

So ditch the crowds and let Southeast Idaho show you what winter recreation was meant to be!

Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo Cowboy Classic at Pebble Creek

Winter brings the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo to Holt Arena at Idaho State University. 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.
