Skiing near Boise Idaho?
I might end up in Boise on business in a couple of weeks. I might be able
to extend my stay a day or two. Any recommendations? I took a quick look at Sun Valley, which appears to be about 3 hours by car. I'm an advanced skier, but have never skiied out West. -GT |

Sun Valley is a hike, although it would probably be worth it if you could get in 2 days of skiing there. It's interstate to Mountain Home, then a fairly hairy stretch, then dead straight unoccupied federal highway. Check out Bogus Basin and Tamarack. Bogus is the local area for Boise. The skiing is pretty good -- better than anything on the East Coast, that's for sure. If you're flying through Salt Lake, you might consider spending your extra time there. -- dhs |

I haven't even checked where my connections would be. The nice thing about Salt Lake is that it has fantastic skiing within a short drive of a major hub airport. I'm in New York. It's easier for me to get to Alta or the Canyons than to anyplace decent on the East Coast. And the skiing .... -- dhs |
