What Tamarack Resort does

Tamarack Resort is a privately-held, four-season destination resort located on a 4,400-acre footprint in Donnelly/Tamarack, Idaho, approximately 90 miles north of Boise. The company operates skiing and snowboarding (1,610+ skiable acres, 2,800 vertical feet), an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II-designed championship golf course (Osprey Meadows, ranked #1 in Idaho by Golfweek), and a new marina on Lake Cascade (47-100 slips). Ancillary operations include lodging (Village Condos, Lodge at Osprey Meadows, cottages, chalets, estate homes), F&B (The Reserve, named #1 Ski Restaurant in North America by USA Today 10Best for three consecutive years), The Spa at Tamarack, a private membership club, and Tamarack Sports School year-round instruction.

Revenue is generated through eight primary streams: ski operations and season passes, golf green fees and packages, marina slip rentals ($3,000/season), real estate sales ($1B+ cumulative since 2008 via Tamarack Realty), managed vacation rentals and property management services, F&B, spa services, and private club memberships. Pricing spans homesites at $330K to estate homes at $3.15M+, season passes at $499-$999, and packaged stays (Stay & Golf from $279/person). The resort serves affluent outdoor recreation enthusiasts (skiers, golfers, lake users), families and groups, and resort real estate buyers seeking a maintenance-free mountain lifestyle.

The business is vertically integrated through two wholly-owned subsidiaries — Tamarack Realty, LLC (real estate brokerage and property management) and The Club at Tamarack (private membership) — plus a custom home-building partnership with Alturas Homes. The company has invested $200 million in a completed transformation and expansion spanning golf restoration, marina construction, ski terrain expansion, and a multi-phase real estate development pipeline. GTM is direct-to-consumer via website, call center, and on-site sales, supported by an 86,000+ prospect database and 230,000+ newsletter subscriber base.
