ADVENTURE GUIDE
BY STUDENTS FOR STUDENTS
Winters here are brutal. Sometimes you don’t see the ground underneath the snow and inchesthick layer of ice for months. During my first winter here, the university warned students against staying outside for longer than 30 minutes— you might get frostbite.
I was unaware people could still get frostbite.
But if I had to pick anywhere to endure an unsympathetic winter, I’d pick Rexburg.
The Spirit of Ricks and America’s Family Community thaw my skeptical, frozen heart every year. When the Christmas lights go up (around mid-October) and the first snow falls (only a week later), Rexburg blooms. The events to attend, the opportunities to serve, the hot cocoa to drink, the places to explore; they all seem to expand during the half-year of winter.
More than just survive, we hope you thrive this Winter semester. Hopefully, our little publication can help you escape winter, embrace cold and find warmth in the soul of this tundra we’re calling home for a time.
Try not to slip on the ice (learn how inside!) and remember: don’t just survive.
FROM THE MEREDITHS FROM THE MAYOR WINTER SEMESTER welcome to
Dear Students:
Welcome to BYU-Idaho for the Winter Semester 2025! We hope your winter break was filled with the light of Christ and time spent with loved ones. We are thrilled to have you here on campus, and we are excited for the opportunities that lie ahead for you.
The mission of BYU-Idaho is to “develop disciples of Jesus Christ who are leaders in their homes, the Church, and their communities.” At the start of this semester, we invite you to consider all you can accomplish in your own growth and development as you further align your life with the Savior and the university’s mission.
Among the many opportunities and resources available to you at BYU-Idaho are attending weekly devotionals and taking full advantage of the free advising, tutoring, and counseling. We trust you will participate in student activities and be an active member of your YSA or married-student ward and stake. We also pray you will realize the peace, strength, and direction regular temple worship will provide throughout the semester and beyond.
Make the most of your BYU-Idaho experience this semester. There is so much available to bless you in your life and progression along the covenant path.
We look forward to growing together as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Sincerely,
PRESIDENT AND SISTER MEREDITH BRIGHAM YOUNG UNIVERSITY-IDAHO

FINDING WARMTH
Historically, the most snow falls at the end of December and beginning of January, with an average of around 7 inches in a single day, but it can be as much as 15 inches in a day.
Hourly wind speeds average at around 7 mph. Paired with the freezing temperatures, wind speeds can create very low wind chill temperatures.
The coldest day of the year is usually Jan. 1, at an average low temperature of 13° F. It only gets warmer from here!
The temperature almost never gets above freezing in December, January and most of February. Most days in winter are between 13° and 39°F
Remember to bundle up, especially if you’re walking to or from campus. Winter conditions can cause frostbite if you’re not careful.
turn up the heat with an EPIC GAME NIGHT
TIPS FOR HOSTS:
Whether it’s fantasy music for D&D or dramatic music for mafia, set the mood with music as soon as guests arrive.
Pick out games in advance.
Don’t start too late—pick a time that best suits all guests.
Keep it short.
Have treats—especially if they’re on theme.
GAMES TO TRY 2
THE QUIET PLACE GAME
No, it’s not hide-and-seek. But it was gaining popularity on social media a couple years ago.
1. Blindfolded, one person is armed with a small water gun or nerf gun.
2. Everyone else moves around the room as quietly as they can. If the ‘seeker’ hears them, they’ll shoot.
3. If you get caught, switch with the seeker.
VIKING
TIP: DON’T PLAY IN A ROOM WITH EXPENSIVE TECHNOLOGY.
THE IMPRESSIONS GAME
Can you pick your friends’ voices out of a wild crowd? Let’s find out.
1. Everyone sits in a circle and one person stands in the middle.
2. The person standing in the center will spin around with their eyes closed while everyone else switches places.
3. The person in the middle will point at someone and tell them to do some kind of impression. This can be anything from ‘sound like Darth Vader’ to ‘sound like a roll of toilet paper coming undone.’
4. The person closest to being pointed at will then do the impression.
5. The middle person guesses. If they get it right, they switch places. If they get it wrong, they spin again.
THE QUEST FOR HOT COCOA
Almost every drink place in Rexburg (of which there are many) offers hot chocolate. But here are some places that specifically focus on warm drinks to shake off the chill in your bones.
The Cocoa Lodge offers a variety of flavors mixed into the chocolate—from peanut butter and mint to bacon.
The Cocoa Bean makes your drinks in front of you using cocoa beans and local ingredients.
Starbucks just opened in May, and while known for its coffee, also sells hot cocoa.
Dutch Bros is also new and offers a variety of flavors—from candy cane to caramel.
June’s Place decorates for the seasons and serves a variety of drinks and treats.
DID YOU KNOW?
HOT CHOCOLATE AND HOT COCOA ARE DIFFERENT
Shopping SeasonallyForaging in
the Frost
ROOT VEGETABLES
Root vegetables keep well. Store in a dark, cool place, perhaps a paper bag in your pantry or cupboard.
CITRUS
Lemons, oranges, grapefruits and clementines are all in peak season in warmer areas. This can mean delicious flavors a decrease in price.
CANNED & DRIED GOODS
Stock up on soups, beans, vegetables and rice that will last longer, can cook quickly and keep you warm. Stores will often buy surplus in winter months so look out for sales as it gets closer to Spring.
HERBAL TEA & HOT CHOCOLATE
It can be difficult to hydrate in the cold, so look to drinks that will still ensure hydration but aid in keeping you warm.
PROTEIN & SUPPLEMENTS
With the start of a new year, many have made resolutions to exercise and eat healthy. This means that stores may discount protein powder, protein bars, vitamins and supplements in January.
PARKING RULES
48-HOUR STREET PARKING LIMIT - ABANDONED VEHICLES
Parking on city streets for longer than 48 hours is not permitted and the vehicle will be considered abandoned.
Any vehicle found to be in violation of this ordinance will be subject to a ticket and/or tow at the owner’s expense. This includes recreational vehicles, trailers, and any other form of a vehicle.

Performances are happening all the time in Rexburg. Attend one and chat about it over a treat afterwards.
Cozy up with some board and card games. Add a little winter charm with a mini hot chocolate bar or a cheesy Christmas movie.
Explore a book store. Buy books for each other or find one with a cover that reminds you of your date.
Warm up at hot springs. Heise is within a 30 minute drive from Rexburg. Goldbug is several hours away, but it’s a popular hangout spot for BYUI students.

These might freeze your date a bit, but you can always warm up with some cider afterward.
Go on an adventure and hike through the snow
Just make sure to wear warm boots!
Ice skating is a classic activity for the winter. Rinks have already opened for the season.
Grab a flashlight and explore the ice caves. These get coated with ice early in and the adventure leads up to a slide at the end.
Unlock your inner child and play in the snow. See who can build the best or most unique things out of snow, have a snowball fight or build an igloo.

Be safe, and stay warm out there! 1 2 3 4 5
Wear heavy jackets and coats with long sleeves, as well as long pants.
Don’t forget hats, gloves and scarves.
Wear dark colors because they absorb more heat.
Wear winter boots of any type, especially when walking through snow.
Be sure to check the outside temperature before you go out, and dress in layers accordingly.
HOW TO NOT FALL ON YOUR BUTT
WADDLE LIKE A PENGUIN: Short, shuffling steps, knees slightly bent, arms out for balance.
BOOT UP: Leave the Vans and Forces for the spring.
VIKING TIP: COWBOY BOOTS ARE NOT WINTER BOOTS
TAKE IT SLOW: Walk carefully, test for ice and avoid rushing.
VIKING TIP: FACE FRONT AND DON’T LET ANXIETY OVERWHELM YOU
CHARGE UP: Keep your phone charged for emergencies.
FALL, GET UP: If you fall, get up.
VIKING TIP: SCREAMING HELPS MOTIVATE PASSERSBY TO HELP YOU UP
Campus Shortcuts: AVOID THE COLD ON YOUR WAY TO CLASS
The skybridge connecting the BYU-Idaho Center and the John W. Hart Building is much faster than going around both buildings.
The David O. McKay Library is still under construction, but the west side allows access from the Jacob Spori Quad to the Hyrum Manwaring Student Center.
Walking through the Manwaring Center allows close access to the BYU-Idaho Center, the library, the Joseph Fielding Smith Building, the John Taylor Building and the Spencer W. Kimball Building.
Other easy-to-navigate buildings include the Eliza R. Snow Center and the Ezra Taft Benson Building. Cutting through these buildings will save time and energy on your way to class.
VIKING TIP:
Some areas, such as the Thomas E. Ricks Gardens and the north side of the Snow Center don’t get much sunlight, so exercise caution when walking there. The snow and ice doesn’t melt in those areas as much as others.

FOOD INSECURITY & RESOURCES
Food insecurity is the consistent lack of nutritious food. It is not knowing where your next meal is coming from, or knowing you’re going home to empty cabinets. It’s a common problem to have in college when your time and resources are spread thin.
If you or someone you know is experiencing food insecurity, there are resources available to help.
TALK TO YOUR BISHOP.
He can help you identify resources including a food order from the Bishop Storehouse.
He and your Relief Society president will help you make a self reliance plan and can create a food order.
Food orders can be picked up from the Idaho Falls Bishop Storehouse, or locally in Rexburg. Your ward can provide specific details about pick-up options.
THE FAMILY CRISIS CENTER FOOD BANK
is open on Wednesdays and Fridays from 12 - 1 p.m. Those struggling with food insecurity are welcome once a week to pick up a box of food.
Make sure to bring a photo ID and leave time to fill out a short questionnaire the first time you go. More information can be found on the Family Crisis Center website.
THE REXBURG MOBILE FOOD PANTRY
is open on the 3rd Tuesday of every month to anyone who needs food assistance. Directions on how to line up and where can be found on their Facebook page.

Tips for navigating Rexburg’s snowy roads
The snow makes for an unpredictable companion when driving in wintry conditions.
Here are some tips to stay safe on the roads:
PASSING PLOWS:
• Don’t pass on the right: Plows have a wing plow on the right side, so passing in the right lane isn’t recommended.
• Check where the snow is going
• Watch for puffs of snow: If you can’t see a plow, but see a unusual cloud of snow, there’s probably a plow behind it. “When in doubt, don’t pass,” according to the ITD.
DRIVING:
• Slow down: Make sure to reduce speed when turning, braking or accelerating.
• Keep following to a distance: Stopping times are significantly longer on icy or snowy surfaces.
• Plan ahead: Use the Idaho 511 website or app, the IDT website or other resources to check for potential weather changes or roadblocks.
MAKE SURE!
• Clear snow and ice off the windshield: In Idaho it is illegal to drive with a blocked windshield or windows. Taking the extra time to scrape the car could save you a ticket.
• Keep a safety kit in the car: In case of emergencies, it’s helpful to keep essentials like an ice scraper, flashlight, first aid kit, jumper cables, blanket, water, snacks and tire chains.
“The career center is committed to empowering you to develop your own plan to find and get a great job.”
- The Career Center Website
• Pedestrians: Make sure you are being extra mindful of cars and ice when crossing the street. The ice can make it hard for cars to stop in time if there’s not enough warning.
MAKING THE MOST OF DEVO
BYU-Idaho’s Tuesday Devotionals offer spiritual refreshment, community bonding and valuable insights. These weekly events feature a range of speakers, from Apostles to professors, sharing inspiring messages, life stories and gospel truths.
ARRIVING EARLY
To make the most of devotionals, arrive by 11:15 a.m. for a good seat (perfect for bonding with roommates, classmates and even long-time crushes).
TAKING NOTES, TAKING A BREATHER
Take notes and reflect on the messages. Devotionals aren’t just a spiritual boost—they’re a break from the busy college life, leaving you feeling spiritually nourished.
WRAPPING UP
Whether you’re attending for the deep insights or just hoping for a few laughs (hey, we’re not judging), BYU-Idaho devotionals offer a little bit of everything: spiritual refreshment, community bonding and some top-tier anecdotes that’ll probably make their way into your future “how I survived college” speech.
