The Nordic and Backcountry Skiers Alliance of Idaho

We work cooperatively with local and state snowmobile groups and the US Forest Service to resolve any user conflicts that occur in the Valley. The Winter Coalition, a collaboration of skiers and snowmobilers, wrote the landmark ‘Snow Pact’ agreement in 2000 designating motorized and non-motorized use zones in the north Valley. The Snow Pact is recognized by the Forest Service and incorporated into their winter management plan.

Please complete the Incident Report Form below to tell us about your ski experience in general or as it relates to other user groups (you can also download the form to print and mail it to us). Your participation will help the Winter Coalition and Skiers Alliance maintain “peace” in the Valley and ensure a high quality ski experience.
