The foothills don't always have snow on them. I wouldn't consider Boise immersed in snow. Though the average stated is at 21.4 inches, in the past five years I've only seen that amount once, the other years it has been less than that. When it has snowed here, it usually melts within a few days. It has not been hard to get around in it, at least in the Boise area, in the past five years.

I've heard the snow turns to ice in the surrounding Boise area and makes driving to work from outside of town a bit hazardous? I'm wondering how it is from places like horseshoe?

Horseshoe Bend can be tough, there's a pretty steep grade you have to go through and it doesn't get much sun till later in the day so yes it can be icy. I don't typically commute outside of the area all that much so maybe someone who does would be able to give you more detail on that. I've just noticed it a couple of times when I have gone that way during the winter months.

Yeah, the last 10 years or so have been odd.

There used to be enough snow here to close BSU for several days during the winter. As such, there used to be enough snow in the foothills to go sledding and tubing and whatever else you wanted to do.

Default Clearwater river valleys Kooskia to Lewiston

Low elevation, here in Kamiah 1200 ft. Light winter, biggest swaths of public ground in the lower 48 minutes away. Nice clean rivers flowing through town with sea run steelhead and salmon. If you like the outdoors it is a paradise. Good small town shopping in Kamiah, Kooskia, Grangeville, Orofino, Wallmart and Costco 1 hr drive away in Lewiston. Idaho Land and Home - Kamiah Idaho for property prices.

Get a map of Idaho, or download google earth, public ground is everywhere in Idaho. The Selway Bitterroot Wilderness and Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness along with the numerous national forest that border them make up a large part of central and north central Idaho, and I believe are the largest wilderness areas in the US outside of Alaska.

For more info try the area links tab on our website Idaho Land and Home - Kamiah Idaho links to local gov. and info. If you don't mind a few hunting photos mixed in I have a photo blog Idaho Outdoors that has lots of pics showing local scenery.
