| The Idaho Skiers & Snowshoers Coalition came together in 2004 to fill the need for an effective statewide voice speaking for backcountry skier, snowboarder, Nordic skier, and snowshoer interests to public agencies and political representatives. ISSC advocates for protecting, preserving and improving quiet winter sports opportunities in Idaho’s great outdoors. ISSC provides a forceful, unified voice for thousands of Idaho winter enthusiasts. | ![]() |
| Please join and support the local grassroots group that defends the areas you ski, snowboard, or snowshoe, whether you live or visit there. Local groups need your financial support and membership to have a stronger influence locally and statewide. Democracy depends on participation! Powder to the people! | |
