Information

Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area has been the Treasure Valley's winter playground for 65 years. Located 16-miles north of Boise, Mother Nature blankets the slopes of Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area with 150"-200" of natural snow. The result is 2,600 acres of skiable, snowboardable terrain PLUS Bogus Basin has more night skiing terrain (165 groomed acres)than any other ski area in the northwestern U.S. This family-friendly recreation area boasts 8 chairlifts covering 3 mountains, 54 groomed runs as well as ungroomed glades, 3 terrain parks, two alpine day lodges with food service & lounges, equipment rental shop, a retail store, ski & board school and child care. Nordic skiers enjoy 37km of groomed trails with 5km lighted at night as well as beautiful lodge featuring limited food service, lessons, a rental shop, waxing bench and fireplace. Snowshoe trail passes and rentals are also available from the Nordic Center. The Pepsi GoldRush tubing hill is open weekends and holidays. 2-hour ticket includes tube rental. Children under 36" NOT allowed to tube. The 800-foot plunge offers thrills, and the ride back uphill is relaxing. Advanced tickets strongly recommended as the 2-hour sessions sell out quickly.
