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.
