The Southern Idaho region boasts a beautiful four-season climate with sunny and dry summer months and a chillier winter season—perfect for snowy adventures. In fact, our region’s winter months range from 37°F in the day to 21°F at night and see an average 11 in. of snow annually.

Whether you’re a fan of the cold or prefer to stay warm, Southern Idaho offers something for everyone. Here’s a sample of the “Cool Things” to do in our region in winter:

Hit the Slopes – The well-groomed slopes at beautiful Pomerelle Mountain or nearby world-class Sun Valley are perfect for skiers and snowboarders alike.
Take a Turn on the Ice – Whether you can glide like the Olympians or you’re just a beginner, Southern Idaho offers skating spots like:
  • Sun Valley’s indoor and outdoor ice rinks for all ages—and you might even run into an Olympic skater or two.
  • Hailey’s Campion Ice House offers skating classes, hockey games and public skating times for everyone to enjoy.

Melt Away the Cold – Defrost in the most relaxing way—soak in natural 90°+ natural hot springs at several nearby locations, including Miracle Hot Springs and Banbury Hot Springs. Enjoy the warmth of the hot springs, book a trip to the spa or get a massage or relax at the nearby camping sites. 

Snow Shoe on the Moon – Take snowshoeing to another planet by trekking through the marvelous Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve.

“I live in Southern Idaho, because it’s a great place to live, work, play and enjoy life,”
​Brooke Lawley, 
Glanbia Foods.
What makes Southern Idaho so special?

With great places to work, eat and play, and ways to get involved and make a difference, the quality of life in Southern Idaho is unmatched. There’s endless opportunities for outdoor life—in all four seasons—like kayaking, white water rafting, skiing, swimming, hiking and BASE jumping.

We offer a little bit of everything for everyone.

Take it from Miles Daisher, BASE Jumper & Red Bull Air Force Member: “Just 3 minutes from my house and we’re at the bridge, ready to fly.” In fact, in the Summer of 2017, Miles set the world record for most BASE jumps in 24 hours – 63 to be exact.
