Blizzard Mountain Ski Area is a modest ski area in the western United States, in central Idaho. It is located in the southern tip of the Pioneer Mountains in southwestern Butte County, 18miles southwest of Arco. The elevation of its lift-served summit is above sea level, with a vertical drop of 710feet on a treeless, northeast-facing slope. The summit offers a sweeping view of the vast Snake River Plain to the east, south, and west.
There is one platter lift, and the area operates on Saturdays, conditions permitting.
The community-run ski hill is just north of the Craters of the Moon National Monument, about 4miles north of the visitor center. The base area is 6miles east of the summit of Blizzard Mountain, which rises to at the border with Blaine County.
