Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area is the perfect place for winter fun with its ski terrain, Nordic and snowshoe trails and 800 ft. tubing hill. You will be able to ski all day long since Bogus Basin has 2,600 acres for day skiing, as well as 165 acres for night skiing. In December 2017, they added Idaho’s first alpine mountain coaster called Glade Runner. The coaster travels up to 40 kilometres per hour for 1,220 metres through the beautiful woods of Boise National Forest. Riders can control their own speed by pressing the handles, which makes it the perfect winter activity for the whole family.
Sun Valley
With more than 3,400 vertical feet and over 2,000 acres of terrain, Sun Valley is a great place for skiers and snowboarders. It has two mountains – Bald Mountain and Dollar Mountain – both with various chairlifts and ski runs for different abilities. If you want to improve your ski skills, take lessons from the resort’s Snowsports School which is suitable for both adults and children. Sun Valley offers day care, so you can drop off your child for ice skating, bowling and art, while you enjoy a day on the slopes. For comfortable, stylish accommodation, stay the night at Sun Valley Lodge which includes five Celebrity Suites named after stars who have stayed there before including Marilyn Monroe and Ernest Hemingway.
