At the Mehen Memorial Skate Park, one generation sets the line for the next By April Thomas Whitney On any given afternoon in New Meadows, you’ll hear it before you see it — the rhythmic clatter of skateboard wheels on concrete, the hollow echo of a drop-in, the playful banter of kids daring each other to try something new. Just across … Continued
As Jess Asmussen ties up the laces on his running shoes in the parking lot of his favorite hiking trails, he takes a moment to pause and listen.

The Payette Lakes Antique and Classic Boat Society Turns 20 By McKenzie Kraemer Something is moving across Payette Lake that harkens back to the earlier days on the lake, nostalgia in tow.

By McKenzie Kraemer The barn was built in 1912. Two years later, the railroad came to Long Valley. The railroad didn’t come to Roseberry, though, and that was the whole problem. The tracks went a mile and a half west, through a wheat field and what would become Donnelly. As a result, Roseberry, which had been the … Continued
Bryce Henson has only lived in McCall for a few short years, but McCall is sure lucky he made the move to the valley. He is a man full of energy, compassion, and a north star that guides him to do amazing things when he sets his mind to it. Bryce, an electrician by trade … Continued
By a Very Good Boy (The Best, Actually) The minute we hit that 45 mph speed zone, my nose goes out the window. I cannot help it. Seriously, I physically cannot help it. There is a smell coming off this town that I cannot fully explain except to say that it is THE smell, the … Continued
By Kelli Day It was a Thursday morning in mid-March when I sat down with the Director of Bear Basin Nordic Center, Simon Ingham. We were outside the warming hut talking about Nordic skiing, McCall, Bear Basin, Little Ski Hill, and a whole lot more. It had been one of the lowest snow years on record, … Continued
By Kelli Day Imagine waking up in McCall after a night of storms dumping inches and inches (and inches) of snow on the ground. It’s the weekend, and you’re itching to get to the ski hill—gliding down the mountainside, yipping and hollering with big, gleeful grins on your face. Well, in order for that magical scenario to happen, you need more than just … Continued
By Kailey Burton Imagine yourself in the mountains, snowshoeing through quiet, deep, drifts as big flakes swirl around. Sounds peaceful, right? Now imagine you’re carrying a chainsaw and about 60 pounds of tools on your back. It’s 4 a.m., and it’s 10 below. There is no trail, and you’ve already worked a 14-hour day. You … Continued
