This year's unusually warm winter in Idaho has left the state with little snow, making traditional ski resort trips during Spring Break less appealing. However, the warm weather provides an opportunity for families to enjoy outdoor activities like soccer, football, and visits to local museums and attractions in the Treasure Valley region around Boise and Meridian.

Why it matters

The lack of snow for skiing and snowboarding could have been a disappointment for many Idaho families during Spring Break, but the warm weather opens up new possibilities for outdoor activities and exploration of local attractions that may not have been possible in a typical snowy spring.

The details

With forecasts calling for temperatures in the 80s for a few days, parks, trails, and other outdoor spaces will be dry enough for kids and families to play sports like soccer and football. Indoor attractions like the Warhawk Museum in Nampa, the Idaho Children's Museum in Meridian, and entertainment centers like Wahooz in Meridian and Pojos in Boise will also offer discounted rates and activities for Spring Break visitors.
