I flew Idaho Peak around 1993 or 94 and it sounded like there had been a few flights before me. That first flight I flew into a snow storm in October which dropped 5cm of snow on the peak. A couple of years later we had the first Idaho Peak Fly-In with 20 pilots. I can't remember if it was that year or the next when we had several pilots getting to around 13-14,000 ft and I ended up flying to Nakusp ( about 50km ) with some 6-7 km glides between thermals. I think it was that year we also flew from Idaho Peak across Slocan lake (in the picture) to the other side and returned and climbed back to cloudbase.
