Mountain Ranges

BOULDER MOUNTAINS (6) | 400 inches a year

The Boulder Mountains can be seen along Idaho highway 75 north of Ketchum. Their big wide open faces make them a great backcountry skiing objective, but are also prone to lots of avalanches with no safe zones. The major skiing objectives would be:

Galena Peak - 11,153 ft
Silver Peak - 11,112 ft
Easley Peak - 11,108 ft
Boulder Peak - 10,981 ft

Due to the proximity to Ketchum and Sun Valley, Idaho. These mountains are a great backcountry skiing option during safe cycles.
