Tamarack Resort Announces Upgrades, Sponsors One Of The Biggest Giveaways In Boise State Football History,
Tamarack Resort is gearing up for the 2023/2024 winter season with several new additions and amenities to improve the guest experience. The season is tentatively scheduled to open in early December, with lift operations running from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., seven days a week.
Terrain & Lift Access
● Skiers and boarders will enjoy 60+ acres of new open terrain in the Reasons to Quit area. This brings the resort’s lift-accessible terrain total to 1,385 acres, which includes 50 named runs and six named glades and natural tree-skiing areas.
● A new interactive, family-friendly zone—Lumberjack Land—will be located just off the Waltz run.
● Beginners can hone skills and gain confidence at a 5.5-acre learning area with sculpted terrain near the Discovery chairlift.
● Guests will enjoy enhanced ski-in, ski-out lodging access with the Buttercup lift operating on weekends and holidays.
Snowmaking Capability & Enhanced Conditions
● Tamarack is increasing its snowmaking coverage by 30%, spanning 150 acres of named runs, with the addition of six new automated snowguns (TA TT10—the most efficient in the world) and one mile of new snowmaking pipe.
● The addition of cutting-edge snowcat technology (Prinoth Winch Cat and extra Winch Cat pick points) will enhance grooming on steeper terrain and give guests a smoother and more enjoyable mountain experience all season long.
Nordic Center
The resort’s new Nordic Center is in The Lodge at Osprey Meadows and will offer retail, rentals and lessons for those exploring the 20K+ trail system, suitable for cross-country and skate skiing, snowshoeing and fat biking.
Quicker Lift Access, Additional Ticket Options & More
● A new automated ticket/pass kiosk in The Village Plaza will allow skiers and boarders to skip the ticket line and purchase or reload their day ticket and then proceed directly to the lift. This season, Tamarack will introduce multiday, consecutive-day tickets to provide more flexibility for guests.
● Online reservations for rental equipment are now available on the Tamarack website.
● Visitors now have access to paid overnight camping in the lower Aspen Parking Lot.
Tamarack Resort also announces its plan to give away up to 35,000 single-day lift tickets for the 2023/2024 winter ski season during the Boise State football game at Albertsons Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 28, 2023. This event is part of Tamarack’s partnership with Boise State Athletics and marks one of the largest sponsored giveaways for Boise State football.
“Tamarack is thrilled to partner with Boise State Athletics, sponsor the Bronco Sports App and offer fans an opportunity to experience the joy of skiing or snowboarding at the resort this winter,” said Tamarack Resort President Scott Turlington. “Whether you’re a longtime skier or snowboarder, or you’ve always wanted to try a day on the slopes, we look forward to welcoming you this winter.”
The giveaway will be announced during the game, where attendees will be directed to scan a QR code or visit a website address displayed on the stadium’s jumbotron screen, taking them to an online form to complete. Bronco Sports App users will also receive a notification on their smartphone at this time, directing them to fill out the form (the Bronco Sports App is free and available for iPhone users on the App Store and for Android users on Google Play).
Upon completion of the form, attendees will receive an email containing a unique promo code
and instructions on how to redeem their complimentary lift ticket on the Tamarack website. There, they will enter their promo code and personal information to receive a confirmation email containing a QR code, which can be redeemed at one of six ticket kiosks located at the resort. “Bronco Nation has answered the call this season and created a gameday atmosphere that has been loud and electric,” said Boise State Director of Athletics Jeramiah Dickey. “Tamarack’s unique and generous promotion is just one more way to say thanks to our fans.”
In addition to the lift ticket giveaway, Bronco fans can now enter Tamarack’s Stay-and-Play sweepstakes to win one of three prizes:
• Grand Prize: Boise State-themed skis and a Tamarack Resort Boundless Season Pass
• Second Prize: A one-night stay at Tamarack Resort and two single-day lift tickets
• Third Prize: One single-day lift ticket
Interested individuals may enter only once through Tuesday, Oct. 31. Winners will be selected at random and announced on Tamarack’s and Boise State’s Facebook and Instagram pages by Thursday, Nov. 2.
Limited tickets for the game versus the University of Wyoming Cowboys are available online at BroncoSports.com, by calling the Boise State Athletic Ticket Office at 208-426-4737, or by visiting the Boise State Athletic Ticket Office, located at the southwest corner of Albertsons Stadium.
