As stated if you were buying or building a place in the mountains what areas would you look at? Necessities are snowmobiling, snowmobiling, and hunting!! let me know your ideas that seem to always have snow!

I'd build one where we ride, hunting, sledding, fishing, hiking, skiing, hour and a half from the house. Now if I were independently wealthy and had a private jet somewhere in Canada would be the place. More snow, longer season, epic places to ride.

Thats not much info to go on. "the mountains" is a pretty big place. Are you just talking about a vacation home during the winter or are you talking about a year round place to live and work, or is work not part of the picture?

If it were me I'd look into someplace in wyoming. Based on the fact that we have the least amount of liberals and smallest population. When I think of living in the mountains I think of isolation. Western wyoming is getting more popular but I bet there is some good land to buy, for a pretty penny.

I suggest a nice dose of radiation for Teton county, in order to save the State!

I second Wyoming. 300" annual snowfall and prices that have not blown completly insane yet. However, some residence forget there zip code is Wyoming and think it is Colorado when pricing there property! But I guess you can always make offers

NOOOO! That place sucks!!!!!

 

[jerrydecoy]

I'd take one in the mccall area. Revy would be mandatory. Bozeman area would be great! If El Niño stacks up the sierra's wold be good! Alpine Wyoming!!northwest Montana, north idaho, Sicamous Bc!, ! I guess I'd take one in any of the western states and Bc!!!! I doubt you could go wrong with the mointains darn near anywhere in the west!!!

McCall, Idaho area has endless outdoor opportunities! This area has some of the best snowmobiling terrain and conditions but it's also a great area for hunters (hunting is a big industry in Idaho)! Then there's lots of single track for dirt biking and mountain biking, lots of roads for razoring and routes for quads. And we're only 45 minutes to 1.5 hours from the "whitewater capital of the world" (Salmon River / Riggins & the Snake River) where the jet boating and rafting as awesome and again, a lot of hunting!

Pick a place where you can get a job that supports your habit. I'm near Sheridan and no its not the craziest best riding but mineing has good pay and I don't have to take a plane to go visit where I grew up in minnesota

How about this place in Island Park Idaho. We have shot elk out our back door, has the best trout fisheries in the state, and EXCELLENT snowmobiling. Take a look at Ipcabinrental.blogspot.com and make me an offer.

 

[minet]

I just bought a place. Its far from me but its also far from everyone else.

Priest Lake Idaho. Recreation all year and still relatively remote. Conservative politics.

Alpine WY.

I have wondered the same too! Me being use to traveling long distances, I would pick a centralized location. For me it would have to be the Alpine WY area. It's a great area plus other areas are close, by my standards. Idaho is right there. Other areas that are close but not limited to are, Jackson, Togwotee, West Yellowstone, Island Park, The Bighorns, Snowy Range, Cooke City, much of Montana, Colorado and Utah. It's also a great summer location. And if you are really good. California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, Arizona are not that far away.

go high fast, mentioned Priest Lake ID. That destination has been in our cross-hairs for years as a snowmobile trip.

I have a place in Alpine. My parents live there. Ok, you can hate me now...

Honestly though, if you're not sledding, hunting or skiing, it can be a fairly boring place to live at. No decent employment there either.

 

[Pro-8250]

Yeah I can understand that. I just thought the Alpine area not necessarily Alpine would be a good central location. I would still live here. That area seems to have so much to offer, summer and winter.
