Bogus Basin
Bogus Basin is one of the best day trips from Idaho. It is a ski area in Boise County, Idaho, sixteen road miles (26 km) north-northeast of the city of Boise. Bogus is administered by the Bogus Basin Recreation Association, a non-profit organization, on private and leased land in the Boise National Forest.
Depending on the snowpack, the ski season typically lasts from the weekend after Thanksgiving through the weekend before April 15. On the 23 miles (37 km) of Nordic tracks in the vicinity, cross-country skiing is also available. Before June, or six months before the start of the season, the new pricing plan brought in roughly $3.6 million more in income from the sale of season passes.
Visits by skiers increased by 58%, from around 192,000 to over 303,000. Resorts from coast to coast reduced their pricing for multi-day, multi-area, and season passes as a result of Shirley's aggressive discounting campaign. Local ski equipment sales considerably surged as skiers improved their equipment.
