About Bogus Basin
Bogus Basin rises above Boise as a nonprofit-run mountain, with 11 lifts, including three detachables, spreading skiers across 82 named runs and a 1,790-foot vertical drop on Shafer Butte. It's part of the Powder Alliance, so passholders from sister resorts get a few discounted days here. Camping is available nearby, and the close proximity to Boise makes it one of the most accessible city mountains in the Rockies. Recent lift upgrades, including new fixed-grip replacements for two aging chairs, keep the uphill capacity fresh for a mountain that sees heavy local traffic.
