BRUNDAGE MOUNTAIN RESORT LLC

What a fun ski hill! I had an absolute blast today! Can't wait to come back for another day.

As the author of The Most Crucial Knots to Know and The Motivated Amateur’s Guide to Winter Camping, I spend a lot of time in cold environments, and Brundage Mountain Resort is a place I keep coming back to. I’ve skied here many times over the years, and even in a lower snow year, it delivers. I was there midweek on this visit, and the conditions were better than expected. The runs held up well, coverage was solid, and the mountain felt smooth and easy to navigate. The layout is one of the strengths. It’s not chaotic or overbuilt. You can move across the mountain without fighting crowds, and it’s easy to settle into a rhythm for the day. Lift lines were manageable, and the overall pace stayed relaxed. It’s the kind of place where you can focus on skiing instead of logistics. The staff has always been friendly and helpful, from the lifts to the lodge. I made a few stops during the day. Coffee in the morning, then a burger and a beer later on, and finished with a cup of chili after a few more runs. Everything was exactly what you want on a cold day. As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series and SERA Archives thriller novels, I also notice environments like this for a different reason. Wide open terrain, changing weather, and long lines of sight. It’s easy to see how quickly things could shift out here. It ended up being a clean, enjoyable day from start to finish. Good snow, good food, and a mountain that stays consistent without trying too hard.

Definitely my second favourite ski resort! I’ve tried mountain biking here a few times but nothing beats the snow here, definitely the best in Idaho. Lift lines also aren’t as bad as most resorts.

Visited The resort for the Free Summer concert series. Loved the layout. There’s a cafe style restaurant there. It was packed with people. The music was fun. Bring your own chairs. No outside coolers allowed. Well behaved dogs welcomed.

We’re staying at Tamarack Resort and came up to Brundage for the day, my younger kids preferred the simplicity of Tamarack for beginners however my oldest loved it with the various trails and powder options. The guest services was really simple and helpful, there’s a drop off zone to leave all your gear and wash parking. I was impressed to see the ladies room stocked with hygiene products as well. Smokys bar was great to chill and hang out between runs. Thank you
