Tamarack, Idaho To Limit Lift Ticket, Season Pass Sales for First Time Ever

Tamarack Resort in Idaho is following the lead of other ski resorts that are limiting lift ticket and pass sales.

A trend that largely started during the pandemic to allow folks to distance in lift lines and indoor resort amenities, some ski areas started limiting the number of daily lift tickets and season passes sold. While some of those resorts have lifted the restrictions, others have continued to limit both in hopes of a less crowded ski hill.

Starting this winter, Tamarack Resort will limit pass sales and daily lift tickets on peak days. The resort hasn’t said exactly how many daily lift tickets will be available on those peak days, but once they’re sold out, they’re out.

“For the first time ever, we’re limiting pass sales to protect what makes Tamarack special: that premium, uncrowded mountain experience you love. Day tickets will also be capped on peak days — once they’re gone, they’re gone,” said the resort’s social media post.

Tamarack hasn’t specified the exact dates that ticket sales will be limited, but based on daily lift ticket prices, holiday periods and peak weekends are likely to be included.

Tamarack is also a part of the Indy Pass, which sells a finite number of passes per year. A Boundless All Season Pass, which provides access to lift services at Tamarack all year round is currently $599 for adults until October 26, 2025, and $799 after that.

Tamarack Resort sits just a couple hours north of Boise, Idaho, has 1,530 skiable acres, and receives an average of 300″ of snow a year. The mountain is currently scheduled to open for the season on November 28, 2025, conditions dependent.

Quite a few other mountains, including Jackson Hole Mountain Resort, Wyoming and Powder Mountain, Utah have continued to limit daily lift ticket and pass sales following the pandemic in an effort to better control lift lines and snow conditions.
