Review:
Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area is a ski area located northeast of the city of Boise. Opened in 1942, the ski area currently has seven chairlifts for downhill skiing and 23 miles of Nordic trails for cross-country skiing. With 2,600 acres of forested land, the ski area is made up of landscaped areas, bowls, glades, and runs.
One of the ski areas begins at the summit of Shafer Butte. At nearly 7,600 feet, this is the highest point of the Boise Ridge mountains. Summer activities include biking, camping, disc golf, hiking, horseback riding, and more. The ski area also hosts special events like weddings. It is open every day from late November until early April.
