When Treasure Valley residents need to make a brief escape, there’s a hinterland hideaway where mountains, forests and lakes seem a world apart from the daily runaround. It’s a place where outdoor rec- reation and small-town charm go hand-in-hand with open air concerts and fine dining. Better yet, it’s less than a two-hour drive from Boise. McCall has always been the mini-break of choice for many across the region, making it a popular destination for all sorts of adventures. We at Boise Weekly love it so much that we decided to dedicate the following pages to summer in McCall. Whether you’re looking to cruise some epic singletrack or if your idea of cruising comes more in the form of stroll through downtown, we’ve got you covered.

Boise Weekly's Guide to McCall

TRANSCRIPT

Page 1: McCall Guide 2013

When Treasure Valley residents need to make a brief escape, there’s a hinterland hideaway where mountains, forests and lakes seem a world apart from the daily runaround. It’s a place where outdoor rec-reation and small-town charm go hand-in-hand with open air concerts and fine dining. Better yet, it’s less than a two-hour drive from Boise.

McCall has always been the mini-break of choice for many across the region, making it a popular destination for all sorts of adventures. We at Boise Weekly love it so much that we decided to dedicate the following pages to summer in McCall. Whether you’re looking to cruise some epic singletrack or if your idea of cruising comes more in the form of stroll through downtown, we’ve got you covered.

Check out our full calendar of events to find even more excuses to head to the Long Valley—as if you really needed any more.

Winter’s end once meant the end of ski season—and a dormant ski hill—forcing recreationists to eagerly await the next dusting of snow. Now, lift-served moun-tain biking not only means ski areas can fill their off-seasons, but mountain bikers have easy access to more singletrack.

Only a few hours outside of Boise, Mc-Call offers more mountain biking than its famous snow flurries and ski lodges might suggest. Serving the small mountain town is the Central Idaho Mountain Biking Association, CIMBA, which boasts 80 members, according to President Brett Shepherd.

“Overall, the mountain biking scene in McCall is still strong, despite people leav-ing the area and the economic struggles we’ve had in this area. And I think it has a lot it can do to bring visitors to the area with the trails that we do have,” he said. “We have a strong set of trails up here for people to enjoy.”

Founded in 1997, CIMBA offers educa-tion for new riders and spearheads trail building across the McCall area. In 2012, CIMBA hosted seven trail days, compris-ing an estimated 373 volunteer hours.

“We’re fortunate with the Forest Service and just the people up here. There are some professional trail builders that kinda guide folks like me—who have never built a trail before—on what to do and how,” said Shepherd.

Shepherd also works as IT director at Tamarack Resort—which plans to run its lifts, servicing 30 miles of trails, for special events during this summer’s mountain biking season. Nearby, Brundage offers its mountain’s 7,640-foot summit as a picturesque starting point for more than 20 miles of singletrack trails, crisscrossing the hillside.

According to resort spokeswoman April Russell, Brundage’s easiest downhill track, Elk Trail, offers seven miles from summit to base.

“The trick is, if you’ve never ridden a bike off a bike path, you probably won’t find it to be a beginner trail,” said Russell. “But if you ride a bike up in the [Boise] Foothills, do it, for sure.”

After reaching bottom, hoist your bike and your duff onto the Blue Bird quad for a speedy trip back to the summit—and the start of round two. What’s more, Boise-area mountain bikers can make the quick jog to Valley County, spend the day cruising from hilltop to base, and be back in time for supper.

Fred Maupin, whose many jobs at Brund-age include managing mountain bike operations, spends much of his summer doing the same. He said he’s often in the bike saddle after the mountain opens for the summer.

“I usually ride every day that we’re operat-ing,” said Maupin.

This year’s season opens Friday, June 28—with free chairlift access offered during opening day celebrations—through Labor Day, Monday, Sept. 2.

“This year we’re looking to have the whole mountain open, easily, with the quick snowmelt we’ve had; unlike two years ago when we opened and it was two weeks before we had trails to ride,” said Maupin.

Much like the mountain’s ski trails, begin-ner routes are marked as green on the trail map, more difficult trails as blue and the most advanced trails, with switchbacks and features for advanced riders, stand out as black lines. Maupin describes Hidden Valley and Zorro as downhill race courses, but other trails provide more cross-country riding.

“Grouse Trail, Growler and Black Bear Loop, are all more cross-country-type trails. They reach out a little bit further around the mountain, especially Black Bear Loop. That’s probably our most cross-

What do you do with a ski hill in the summer? Ditch the skis and boards for wheels.

country, loop-focused trail.”

Elk Trail is a popular, mature trail, according to Maupin, but features enough turns and change in elevation to keep both hardcore

mountain bikers and novices interested. While a pro might traverse the seven-mile stretch in 45 minutes, families tend to take their time.

“I’ve seen mom and dad come up with [kids] as young as 4 or 5 years old, and

spend three hours coming down that trail,” he said. “The kids were giggling and happy when they got to the bottom.”

Brundage also offers cross-country and downhill bike rentals for men, women and children. Giant Glory, Reign and Kona bikes are offered in the Brundage fleet, available individually as a package for prices ranging from $35-$99. Lift tickets are available based on frequency, with a summer-long lift pass available for $99.

Fourth of July weekend in McCall is one of the area’s busiest times, with Treasure Valley residents escaping the heat at home by heading to the forested shores of Payette Lake.

The town always throws out the welcome mat with a day of events and fireworks (see Page 4), but this year, Boise-based CT Touring is adding a two-day music festival to the mix.

“Most people leave the Treasure Valley and head to McCall or Sun Valley, so we thought we’d head to where the people are,” said Kristine Simoni, marketing and entertainment director for CT Touring.

What’s being billed as the McCall Music Festival will kick off on Friday, July 5, at the Manchester Ice and Events Centre (200 E. Lake St., McCall), where Big Head Todd and the Monsters headline the show, which also features Idaho faves country rockers Reckless Kelly and Mc-Call-based Jeff Crosby and the Refugees.

The tunes will veer more toward rock on Saturday, July 6, when ’80s legend Pat Benatar takes the stage with Neil Giraldo. Celtic-tinged rockers (and regular Boise visitors) Young Dubliners will open the show, along with So Cal-based Stone Stanley.

“They’re different styles of music, so each night can appeal to two different types of

music lovers,” Simoni said.

While the company has staged shows at Brundage Mountain Resort in the past, this is the first time it has worked in the ice rink. It also means the company will be bringing a full stage, lighting and sound system from Boise for the event.

Because of the layout, there will be about 2,000 seats available for each show. Advanced two-day passes went on sale in April, but Simoni said individual day tickets are now available and any remaining seats will be sold at the door. Two-day passes cost $79 or $119 for the VIP section, where concertgoers will have access to a bleacher-style seating area and a private bar. Individual day tickets cost $39.50 or $59.50 for VIP.

If large indoor concerts aren’t your thing, there’s still a way to get in on the music in a more intimate setting.

McCall Brewing Company is hosting a pair of “official” afterparties following each concert. On Friday, Stone Stanley will perform at the brewpub following the Big Head Todd set, and on Saturday, Young Dubliners will move straight from the main stage to the brewery.

Tickets for the ice arena shows are avail-able at ticketfly.com.
