Blizzard Mountain is part of the Pioneer Mountains which are a subset of the Rocky Mountains.[4] The mountain is situated immediately northwest of Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve, 24 miles southwest of the town of Arco, and can be seen from Highway 20. The Blizzard Mountain Ski Area is six miles (9.7 km) east of the summit. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3,300 feet (1,000 meters) above Cottonwood Creek and the Snake River Plain in three miles. This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[3]
