As the weather warms in the Treasure Valley and the days are a little longer, Tamarack Resort enters one of its most underrated seasons: spring. At Totally Boise, we love this time of year at Tamarack, when you can ski in the morning, relax in the sun by early afternoon, and get a taste of those first summer activities starting to come alive.
Spring at Tamarack is all about transition: softer snow, sunnier days, fewer crowds, and a resort buzzing with end-of-season energy. Whether you're chasing corn snow, cheering at the Pond Skim, or getting a head start on warm-weather fun, here’s your Totally Boise guide to spring at Tamarack Resort.
Spring Skiing: Bluebird Days & Soft Snow
If you’ve never been spring skiing at Tamarack, you’re missing out. The days are warmer, the snow is soft, and the mountain vibe becomes laid-back and fun.
Layers come off, sunglasses come out, and locals soak up the sun between laps. It’s the kind of skiing where you end up staying longer than planned because everything just feels…good.
Why we love spring skiing at Tamarack:
- Fewer crowds

The Pond Skim: Tamarack’s Most Legendary Spring Event
If there’s one thing everyone at Totally Boise looks forward to each spring, it’s Tamarack’s annual Pond Skim, the ultimate end-of-season celebration.
Costumes, sunshine, cheers from the crowd, and skiers and snowboarders sending it across an icy pond? It doesn't get more “spring skiing” than that.
Whether you’re participating or spectating, it’s one of Tamarack’s most fun and energetic events of the year.
Late-Season Mountain Fun
Even as ski season winds down, spring brings extra sunshine and long, perfect afternoons for exploring around the resort.
Here are a few ways to enjoy the shoulder season:
Trail Exploration (Early Season Walking + Snowshoeing)
As the lower-elevation trails begin to melt out, it’s a great time to explore the edges of the resort, walk the snow-free village paths, or take in those bright green early-spring views.
Lakeside Relaxation
Lake Cascade begins to thaw and sparkle this time of year, providing a beautiful backdrop for a slow morning, a picnic, or a sunset hangout.
Fat Tire Biking (as conditions allow)
Depending on the year, you’ll still find snow-packed trails perfect for biking into early spring.
Soaking Up the Village Vibe
Grab a drink, lounge on the patio, and enjoy that warm sun on your face. Spring afternoons at Tamarack Village feel like a preview of summer.
