Some big changes are ahead for Tamarack Resort.
In early March, the Boise National Forest approved Tamarack’s special use application for a possible expansion that would triple the amount of terrain for skiers and snowboarders.
Tamarack Resort has plans to build five new lifts, including a gondola that goes from the base to the summit on 2,099 acres of forest service land.
KIVI-TV reports, the plan would also feature a new year-round facility on top of Lone Tree Peak serviced by the gondola, expanded operations for hiking and biking, a new climbing route, a possible mountain coaster and projects that would protect the area from wildfires.
In the meantime, Tamarack will start restoring the old Robert Trent Jones golf course near Lake Cascade at the end of April or early May.
