Bogus Basin: The Ski Spot

Bogus Basin lies just north of Boise, and is the prime destination for wintertime fun in the area. A mere 15 miles from downtown, you’ll find yourself in the middle of 2,600 acres of slopes, including the largest illuminated night skiing area in the Northwestern United States. This snow-bunny retreat features three lodges—two downhill and one Nordic—as well as a robust selection of ski and snowboard education programs if you're new or looking for a refresher. If you’re an advanced skier, there may be a lack of intense, steep runs, but for an intermediate-level ski experience it will not disappoint. Bogus Basin can get extremely crowded on weekends, so plan your trip accordingly. As is the norm, the best deals available are on season passes, which makes the resort affordable for families who ski regularly, but single lift tickets are also reasonably priced. In the warm summer, the area is opened to hikers and mountaineers.
