A very fun resort, lots of skiable terrain, powder runs, groomed runs, tree hits. It really has it all. Fun for the family or with the bros.

Nice little mountain with decent runs. One of the only options in the boise area without driving for hours so if the snow is good, this is a great option for the locals. Not a dream ski vacation destination, but worth a visit if your in the area.

Bogus is a great mountain in Idaho to go to when youre in Boise. Terrain parks are fine at best but when it snows, there is so much area of untouched.
