Ski Touring and Nordic Skiing - Moderate I

Join us for a relaxing ski tour (in sunny spring conditions) around the Banner Ridge Park-n-Ski area north of Idaho City.  The loop is just over 7 miles with 800-900 ft cumulative elevation gain.  Intermediate ski skills and track skis (waxable or waxless) are required.  Vehicles need Park-n-Ski passes, available in Idaho City.  No dogs, please.

Join us for a cross country ski trip on Super Bowl Sunday.  We will ski the Banner Ridge loop outside of Idaho City.  The loop is a little over 7 miles.  We will meet on the southeast side of Boise and depart by 9 am.  No dogs.

If conditions permit, dust off your touring skis and join us breaking trail on old logging and mining roads north of Idaho City if the Park and Ski areas are not groomed yet. Breaking trail is a good way to get in shape for the season and experience non-groomed conditions for backcountry skiing and winter camping (see February). We’ll tour 5 to 7 miles or longer, depending on the group. A Park and Ski pass might be needed depending on snow depth and if the passes are available. No dogs.
