Overall
Despite its name, the skiing at Bogus Basin is anything but... Bogus Basin is a non-profit community operated Idaho ski area with boatloads of terrain. You can ski 360-degrees from one of two summits that encompass 2,600 ac and drops 1,800 ft vertical. From Boise, you are just 16 mi from Bogus Basin but it takes a good 45 minutes, and four wheel drive, up a wild wintry road that deserves its own black diamond designation.

Bogus Basin is super close to Boise, although a windy mountain road to get there. A lot of college kids but not a tremendous crowd. They have night riding and not terrible pitcher prices for some suds. Park is fun and creative but the crew could pay a little more attention to detail and maintenance. Overall fun but nothing to write home about. ... Moreexpert snowboarder
