Tamarack Resort is a popular ski destination in Idaho, with 2,800 acres of terrain and over 40 runs. The best trails are considered to be the black diamond runs off the Summit Chairlift, such as Temptation and Upper Bliss. An interesting fact is that the resort was originally planned as a private ski resort called Westrock, but the development failed and it was eventually taken over by the state. A specific suggestion for beginners would be to start on the Magic Carpet and Buttercup runs. For apres ski, the Fern & Feather is a cozy and rustic bar that serves tasty cocktails and local beers.
