Snowy Adventures: Pebble Creek Ski Area

If you love outdoor adventure, January is your month. Just 30 minutes from Northgate Apartments is Pebble Creek Ski Area, a local gem for skiing and snowboarding. The mountain offers over 1,100 acres of skiable terrain with breathtaking views of the Portneuf Range.

Beginners can take lessons on the gentler slopes, while experienced skiers can explore more challenging runs. The lodge at Pebble Creek is the perfect place to warm up with hot cocoa between runs.

Not a skier? No problem — simply enjoy the snowy drive up and take in the mountain views. Pack a picnic, bring your camera, and soak in the serene Idaho winter landscape.

For a true day trip, combine skiing with a visit to nearby Lava Hot Springs. Few things feel better than hitting the slopes, then soaking in natural hot pools while snowflakes fall around you.
