Snowhaven is a modest ski area in the western United States, located in north central Idaho, seven miles (11 km) southeast of Grangeville in Idaho County.[1] The elevation of its summit is 5,600 feet (1,707 m) above sea level, with a vertical drop of 400 feet (122 m) on east-facing slopes.

There are two surface lifts, a T-bar and a rope tow, serving 9 trails. The average annual snowfall is 60 inches (150 cm) and the terrain is rated 75% beginner and 25% intermediate. The 2,600-foot (790 m) T-bar was installed 52 years ago in the fall of 1972, which accompanied the addition of new runs, and was financed with a federal grant through the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation.[1]

The facility is operated by the City of Grangeville and is open on weekends.[2][3] Ski operations began around 1940, but it saw little use until after World War II.[4] A new access road was constructed in 1957.[5]
