Brundage
With an annual snowfall of up to 400 inches and uncrowded slopes, Brundage's powder lasts for DAYS!
There's nothing more invigorating than a morning of fresh powder on the pristine slopes of Brundage Mountain or Tamarack Resort. Brundage normally operates from mid November to mid April and is known for no lift lines, consistent snow and a true home town mountain experience.
Brundage Mountain seasons passes are a smokin' deal! Check the website for pricing details and information on Brundage/Bogus Basin Combo passes.
Brundage offers cat skiing and snowmobile tours and rentals on 17,912 acres of Payette National Forest. A recent and long awaited land swap with the U.S. Forest Service placed 388 acres at the resort's base under Brundage ownership for future commercial and residential development. Stay tuned.

The Little Ski Hill
Many of McCall's Olympic athletes as well as many locals got their start at the Little Ski Hill. Built in 1937 as a winter diversion for local forest workers, the Little Ski Hill is open from Tuesday through Saturday and offers a single T-bar.
The Little Ski Hill offers individual/family passes for Alpine skiing and season passes for Nordic skiing at Little Bear Basin and is also a participant in the PRIMO Season Pass for Nordic skiing at several McCall area venues.
The Payette Lakes Ski Club has maintained a non profit organization to manage and fund the club. Check their website for hours of operation and season pass information.
Backcountry Skiing
For the more adventuresome skier who seeks thousands of acres of untracked powder, Payette Powder Guides offers the ultimate backcountry ski experience including winter yurt rentals and avalanche classes. Check their website for reservation information and updates about their 2009 introduction of Lick Creek mountain biking tours.
