OUR HISTORY
In 1947, a visit to watch the Olympic Team Tryouts held at nearby Sun Valley, prompted friends Bob Frostenson and Harry Durall to found Soldier Mountain Ski Area. That summer they raised $10,000, began work on a base lodge, and purchased two rope tows. They cut timber, installed lifts, and built lodges by hand. The first chairlift was installed in 1971 and the second was added in 1974. In the late 1990s, actor Bruce Willis purchased the ski area. In Spring 2012, Mr. Willis donated the ski area to a 501[c]3. In November of 2015, Matt and Diane McFerran of Bend, Oregon purchased Soldier Mountain and operated it until 2020. It is currently owned by an investment group of skiers, boarders, and back country enthusiasts who have a vision of what Soldier Mountain can become.
Still a family-friendly mountain, Soldier Mountain offers back country Snow Cat skiing/boarding, overnight yurt stays and a great time on the slopes! Soldier Mountain Ski Area welcomes everyone, and we look forward to seeing you on the mountain!

SOLDIER MOUNTAIN CAT
Snowboarding Skiing
VIEW VIDEO
Ride along on a cat boarding day in Soldier Mountain’s backcountry. It’s here, in the Sawtooth Mountains, that the Soldier Mountain Guided Cat opens up a pure powder paradise in Idaho’s pristine backcountry. A team of expert guides takes a group of 12 snowboarders and skiers for a full day exploring 2,000 acres. Some of the runs we explored were Sequoia, Sally O’Malley, Big Bowl, Sucker Creek, and Nose Bowl. Special thanks to Ski Idaho for the adventure.
