Why Bogus Basin?

Where Mountain Life Meets City Living: Enjoy the rare opportunity to work at a four-season mountain recreation area while living in Boise—one of the fastest-growing, most livable cities in the U.S. With a vibrant downtown, walkable neighborhoods, and a thriving arts and food scene, Boise offers urban amenities with small-town charm, just 16 miles from the slopes.

Mission-Driven, Community-Focused: As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Bogus Basin is dedicated to providing accessible, affordable outdoor recreation, education, and community programming year-round. Every dollar earned is reinvested into the mountain and its people; not shareholders. Our values of kindness, respect, professionalism, and fun shape a workplace where everyone is welcome.

Unbeatable Access to the Outdoors: Located in the Boise National Forest, Bogus Basin offers year-round activities; from skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing and tubing in the winter to mountain biking, hiking, and scenic chairlift rides in the summer. Employees enjoy the perks of mountain life with none of the resort town isolation.
