Overview: Bogus Basin, the remarkable recreation area in Boise's backyard, has grown from a small ski hill with a rope tow into a large ski destination with seven chairlifts, three lodges, night skiing and Nordic trails. Rental, repair and retail shops are on site, as are a ski and snowboarding school and tubing hill. During the summer, a frisbee golf course is set up on the thawed-out trails, and nature hikes and children's camps are offered.
