The Ritz-Carlton, the Pioneer Inn Condos is not. If you are looking for over the top luxury and pampering, head over to a Sun Valley resort. These are privately owned homes, clean and comfortable. My family has spent the past two years between Christmas and New Year's day here (in Unit 208/209), and we have loved it! We stop at Albertston's for groceries (and the state-sanctioned liquor store) on West State Street in Boise before heading up. We stop at the Bogus Basin office at the base of the mountain to get weekly lift tickets (but they can also be purchased at both the JR Simplot and Pioneer lodges). We have stayed in the same unit twice, and it is clean, spacious, has an incredible view, and is quite literally located on the Buttercup run. Does it have a Westin Heavenly bed? No, but the mattresses are surprisingly comfortable and the kids love the bunk beds. Is there a spa? No, but there is a hot tub. Is there room service? No, but all of the appliances work and the lodge is a one-minute walk. As far as the bathrooms - this is a private condo, so while there are towels, you need to bring all of your own toiletries (including a travel hair dryer). The decor is mountain rustic - not necessarily what I would choose for my own home, but there have been many times I have questioned the decorating taste of high end hotels. And there is Wi-Fi in case you need to check-in at the office. The unit is also just steps from the upper (quiet-ish) Pioneer Lodge, which has reasonably priced burgers, grilled chicken sandwiches, as well as HOT soup and chocolate (not to mention a full bar). There is a Pepsi-sponsored 800' tubing hill, which is a total blast. Ski lessons AND babysitting (do not forget your child's immunization records) are available down the hill at the JR Simplot lodge. People are simply friendly. I live near Oakland, California, and it's faster for us to go through airport security, fly to Boise and drive 40 minutes up the mountain than it is to drive to Tahoe during the winter season. Granted airfare is a bit more expensive than gas, but given the location of the condos RIGHT ON THE SLOPES, the room price can't be beat - and the lift tickets are CHEAP compared to Tahoe as well.
One note: Because the condos are 40 or so minutes up the mountain from Boise, make sure you bring along entertainment - especially if you have kids. We like to bring little plastic shovels for the kids to dig out front, or play on the deck. My six-year-old son skiied a couple of times and went down the tubing hill, but I think his favorite activity was shoveling snow out on that deck.
One more note on parking: During heavy snows, the management will call and have you move your vehicle to avoid it being snowed it. This should not be thought of as a hassle, but, rather, as a favor.
Anyway, if you are looking for a reasonably priced place RIGHT ON A SKI RUN, with NICE people, I would highly recommend the Pioneer Inn Condos.
