Elk City is a little town of about 150 -200 people in the winter. We are a 2 1/2 hour drive from Lewiston , Id . Hwy14 ends at Elk City
We have one grocery store , gas station, small older 9 room hotel , one bar and three places to eat . I know the owners of each business.
We had the 10 speed bike riders (about a 100) here a few years ago and the whole town jumped in to make them welcome . Seems like every summer the Bikers come for 3 days from Lewiston .
We have miles upon miles of forest serviced snow coverd roads . The red river hot springs are 26 miles at the end of the road and they also have cabins . I heard they had closed but I think that is just temporary while the forestry brings in new owners . Cost was $7 for a All day pass . It is a great place and remote .
I also have furnished apartments I rent in town and my good friend has 3 cabins which two of are handicap accessible and set up for wheelchairs too .
I have 60 acres just out of town for camping or parking big rigs plus a big parking lot in town ,right on the corner where my Apartments and laundrymat are located .
With a little pre planning I know this town would bust there ass to have a jamboree here .They are looking for ways to bring folks in for business in the winter .
York Meadows , which is in town is around 100 acres and we have a ski fun day on New Years eve and the whole town shows up . Bon Fires , Snow mobiles , chili and hot dogs , and a sledding hill for the kids , Kids are getting pulled by snow mobile and skiing .
I even have a 4 person 1847 trap sleigh and could set it up for sleigh rides . The Elk herd winters just off my property at the neighbors and you can get real close to about 100 animals most days .They are fed in winter so they are not going anywhere .
The town is looking for a way to draw attention and make some money from tourist in the winter . I am sure they would bust there ass for you . The nice part is if the snow is higher it is easy to trailer our rigs to the snow line .
Hell for the really tough there is a 100 mile road to Darby Montana but I do not think any of us want to attempt that route in winter . Lots of cliffs and 60 degrees slopes where the road is completely blown in .
If the timing was right the roads will be covered and you can snow cat from your room or cabin anywhere .
