So bogus is a great place to start skiing or boarding with good terrain and cheap passes. The snow is not great but the terrain on 6 and 3 definitely make up for it. I'd recommend weekdays if possible because weekends get really busy...oh and 4wd on snow days is a must!

We get yearly passes! During winter, my husband and I take our Friday dates here while the kids are in school. We take a break mid day for their YUMMY cheeseburger and share a fry. Overall, a fun day.

This was an awesome night of snowboarding at a great price. The staff was all friendly and helpful at the rental shop. Everything was clean and functioning well. The bunny hill was busy as always, but everyone was friendly. I love that its so close to the city too.

Easy drive, about one hour from Boise. This is not a huge sprawling resort, you shouldn't even call it a resort, but that means the prices are very affordable. Plenty of runs, all the rentals you might need, Nordic and Alpine skiing- great place.

Pros: Almost everything, good skiing, friendly staff, reasonable priced food and close to home Cons: Not enough grooming, often you have death/leg breaking gaps in the groomed runs. Not sure if Bogus is being cheap and not giving enough gas so the groomers can do a good job or just improperly trained grooming staff but either way be warned especially... More

Bogus is our hometown ski resort. It's very affordable, and has enough terrain diversity to satisfy every level of skier. As an added bonus, it's one of the few resorts in the west that's lit for night skiing!

We are so lucky to have this jewel. the mountain is great summer and winter. Not a fancy ski resort but great condos we had a wedding there last summer, surprisingly good bar type food in the winter and lots of beer! Worth the drive up even if not skiing.

Good terrain and finally having invested in infrastructure to provide a much better skiing experience. For years this was not the easiest place to teach beginners but it certainly is now. They need to improve the lodges. Actually bulldoze down and rebuild

Started driving - roads are good. Scenery was fantastic! Thought we would get to the ski resort, but it started snowing and road was getting slick, so didn't get to the top. Turned around and headed back down.
