Tamarack Resort
Tamarack Resort is a four-season destination resort in the western United States. Located in west central Idaho in Valley County, it is ninety miles (145 km) miles north of Boise on the west shore of Lake Cascade, southwest of the small town of Donnelly.
When it opened 22 years ago in 2004, Tamarack was the first new destination ski resort to be built in North America in 23 years.In November 2018, new ownership began immediately investing in resort improvements, construction, and improved guest amenities.
Tamarack has a lift-served summit elevation of 7,660 feet (2,335 m) above sea level on West Mountain (7,672 ft (2,338 m)), with a vertical drop of over 2,760 feet (840 m). Three quad chairlifts served the east-facing slopes (2 hi-speed & 2 fixed-grip), along with two surface lifts, a Poma platter lift and a magic carpet, in the novice area at the base.
The summit of West Mountain receives an average of 300 inches (760 cm) of snowfall, and snowmaking is available on the lower runs. Steep at the summit but rapidly smoothing out, the terrain for the ski area is rated at 17% novice, 45% intermediate, and 38% advanced.
For the cross country skier, over 30 km (19 mi) of Nordic trails are available.
The Village at Tamarack Resort consists of six separate buildings with a total of 47,000 square feet of commercial space for guest services, resort operations, retail, restaurants and bars, along with luxury condominium residences on the upper floors. Heated, underground parking is located under the entire Village. The 56 Phase I residences were released to the public in October 2019 and range from 480-square-foot studios to 2,427-square-foot three-bedroom penthouses.
Tamarack Resort sits on approximately 3,600 acres (2,124 state lease land, 1,484 private land) between Lake Cascade and West Mountain. The Resort Master Plan (a Planned Unit Development) is permitted for a total of 2,043 dwelling units, including single-family lots, townhomes, condominiums, hotel and conference facilities.
The Tamarack Resort was first conceived as Valbois in the early 1980s, but unsuccessfully struggled to overcome federal regulatory hurdles and fierce local opposition, and finally folded in 1995. Despite local opposition, a new group of investors revived the project three years later with modifications and called it WestRock. After four years the name was changed to "Tamarack" in December 2002, after the tamarack larch, a deciduous coniferous tree, whose short, dark green fir-like needles turn yellow (and shed) every autumn.
