A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
I have heard about Tamarack Resort for years, explored it on the map, web, trail maps, etc., and once I finally got the chance to visit from Oregon, my overall experience is that it's WAY bigger than it looks, and the variety of terrain is a perfect mix of green, blue, black, and back-country-style advanced terrain. I didn't realize how long the runs from top to bottom would be, until my legs started burning on my first T-to-B run. 2,800 foot elevation drop is no joke. The amenities, village, staff, food, accommodations... everything was top notch. I recommend getting here as soon as possible, as it's definitely poised to draw bigger and bigger crowds. It's a world-class resort, built with no expense spared, and I'd confidently say it's gotta be one of the most up-and-coming destinations in the country for year-round mountain and lake adventure.
The skiing is very good for this size of mountain. Lift tickets inexpensive. Although only one 'main' lift from the base area to mid-mountain, the overall run/terrain access is fairly good from there and on up to the top. Honest run ratings. Not crowded at all during mid-week. The base area/village is laid out nice and includes most of the basics, but they have a ways to go to be a full-scale resort. Only 2 legit dining options unless you want pizza. Seven Devils Taphouse is a good place to hang out. But they desperately need a regular bar - like a ski bar with a vibe. My experience was that service is very good. Overall good and I'd visit again.

Living in the valley for over 10 years, we have seen a huge change from a local, half open mountain to a want to be Aspen vibe. Having access to magic carpet it's awesome, but it's all about timing to get good parking or it literally can be a nightmare with a toddler. Staff is awesome, mid mountain lodge opened and is beautiful but lacks being outdoors with big tvs. Mid mountain only takes credit cards, so don't be lame like us and try to pay in cash. Bathrooms lack baskets or anywhere to hang a mitten?? We love tamarack but sure hope it doesn't turn to just be a private mountain for tamarack home owners.
Cool place, but so many things could be better.

Love this resort. The village is finally complete and adds a great compliment to the mountain. Wish there was a little more apres vibe though

Not much to do. Expensive for the size. Really poorly managed if you’re used to Utah, WY level ski resorts. If you’re going to venture all the way out there, go to another resort - not worth the trip.

I had reservations for March 5th, 2024. Ketchum received 12-16 inches of snow and it was not safe to travel to Ketchum. ID. Tamarack has a 3-day cancelation terms and did not refund my money.

I’ve been here twice in February and the snow has been great both times. Despite only having only main lift from the base the lift lines are very short. The mountain has good variety and some long lines 4+ miles. The village is very nice but small. There are only two restaurants for dinner. Seven Devils (good bar food and great drinks) or The Reserve (high end but casual steak house that books out without reservations). Ordering take out steaks, truffle fries and Greek salads from The Reserve was our go to for several nights of dinner. We stayed in Rosebury 304 and this 2 bedroom condo was incredible. Tons of space and top of the line finishes all around with fantastic furnishings.

Tamarack used to be my favorite resort to take the family. They had two really cool yurts and a free flowing lodge for when the kids needed a break. They removed the yurts and replaced it with and uncomfortable food court that looks like it should be in a mall, and have made rentals, ticket purchases and grabbing a beer very cumbersome. The terrain is fun but the #tamfam environment is gone. Such a shame!

If looking for an all around great family ski resort without long lift lines, look no further. While Tamarack has a colorful past, it's hard times are in the past. The amount of $ invested into the resort over the past 5 years is staggering - new lifts, brand new village, 7 food and beverage venues, mid-mountain lodge opening next year.

Amazing spot to visit all year round. The new Village is beautiful.
