![]() Members of the Boise Ski Club, owners of ski shops, and a group of local influencers got together and decided to open Bogus Basin, a name that had been around since Idaho’s great gold rush. There was about 25,000 people that lived in Boise and some of the people in Boise saw Sun Valley opening, the little ski hill up in McCall, and they said well you know if we open a mountain to ski on we can boost our local economy,“ said Susan Saad with Bogus Basin. “We were in the middle of the Great Depression. The resort actually opened during the middle of World War II, but the idea for Bogus Basin came about years earlier. For generations, the North Star has lead Boisians up the winding road to hit the slopes at Bogus Basin. It’s hard to think of a time when Boise and skiing didn’t go hand in hand. ![]()
