How to Beat the End-of-Winter Blues in the Treasure Valley

For some, winter in the Treasure Valley is their favorite time of the year, while others are happy to stay inside next to the heater and wait it out.

Whether you’re clinging on to these last few weeks of winter, or you’re looking for ways to make the days fly by, here are some things to do in and around the Treasure Valley.

Enjoy the Powder While It Lasts

If you’re a skier, snowboarder, or just enjoy a leisurely ride on a tube, Bogus Basin is likely your second home during the winter. But your second snow-covered mountain home is shutting down soon, however, with Bogus Basin typically calling it a season around April.

The good news is—depending on when you're reading this—you may still have a month or two left to shred up the slopes and enjoy the powder. Don't be sad when the snow melts away though—Bogus Basin is open in the summer for all of your mountain biking, hiking, and mountain coaster needs.

 Take a Dip

Idaho is well-known for its extensive network of usable geothermic hot springs spread throughout the state. While these hot springs are accessible year-round in many cases, there's nothing quite like relaxing in a natural steaming pool while icicles hang from nearby trees. Visiting hot springs is really the best of both worlds for snow-lovers and the cold-averse alike. While the winter enthusiasts will enjoy this chance to get outside and enjoy the frigid mountain air, others will have a hard time leaving once they feel the steaming water hit their skin. Whichever camp you belong to, search around to find theone that’s closest to you or make a day trip out of it. 

 Sip Warm Drinks

Whether you’re not a fan of the cold and need something to warm you up, or you’ve been in the snow all day and are ready to unwind, stopping in for happy hour in Meridian is sure to satisfy. There are tons of different cocktails, wines, beers, and hot drinks to make you feel nice and cozy during these end-of-winter weeks. Stop into your favorite bar and grill or try something new to keep it interesting.

 Get the Gang Together

Getting all of your friends or family together to celebrate a special occasion or just the end of the workweek is a great activity regardless of the season. It’s also a great opportunity to reminisce on the fun you’ve had during this past winter and make plans for your adventures once the weather warms up. Look for places to eat in Meridian that cater to parties and large groups, and enjoy a nice meal and drinks with some of your favorite people.

The Delicious Emergence of Fusion Sushi in Idaho

Image
One of the best things about Idaho, particularly the Treasure Valley, is how many surprises it still holds, even for longtime residents. A great example is the quality, variety, innovation, and most importantly, deliciousness of the cuisine supported by the Gem State. Part of our state’s reason for culinary excellence is likely a result of its diverse history of incomers. Idaho and, again, the Treasure Valley specifically, has hosted large populations of Chinese, Basque, Irish, and Hispanic immigrants (among a number of others). That rich cultural, social, and historical legacy is no doubt responsible for our modern-day community being so receptive to both excellent food and culinary inventiveness. The Treasure Valley is now home to a thriving fusion movement and some of the most exciting examples of it are Asian fusion restaurants. It’s why the prospect of looking for the best sushi Meridian Idaho offers is now not only reasonable but will also yield some incredi
