Victor, ID: when does the frost end?

Zone 5a

Typically, the last spring freeze lands around 06/13, roughly 289 days out. Fall's first freeze usually shows up around 09/09, roughly 86 days after the last spring frost.

Victor sits in USDA Zone 5a (-20 to -15°F average annual minimum). The dates above are NOAA's 1991-2020 normal at the nearest reporting station, a 30-year average, not a forecast.

Stretching the season past the first frost

With roughly 2 weeks until Victor's first fall frost, a row cover or cold frame is what stretches the last few weeks of harvest here.

Why 06/13 isn't a guarantee

06/13 is the middle of 30 years of NOAA records, not a promise. Getting tender plants in by 05/27 carries real risk, frost has hit that late in about 9 of 10 years here. Wait until 06/28 and only about 1 year in 10 sees frost after that.
