Bogus Basin Crowned Best Ski Area in the Nation for 2024

When it comes to incredible skiing and unforgettable winters, Bogus Basin is now officially the top destination in the U.S. Newsweek’s Readers’ Choice poll has named this Boise-based resort the Best Ski Area of 2024.

Why Bogus Basin Stands Out

Only 16.5 miles from downtown Boise, Bogus Basin has natural beauty and unbeatable skiing options for all skill levels. Unlike for-profit resorts, Bogus Basin operates as a 501(C)(3) non-profit, allowing it to focus on making skiing affordable and accessible for everyone while reinvesting profits into quality improvements year-round.

With 2,600 acres of daytime skiable terrain and an additional 200 acres for night skiing, this resort has something for everyone. Whether you're skiing down from one of the seven chairlifts or navigating the 37 kilometers of Nordic trails, there's plenty to enjoy. Families especially love the 800-foot tubing hill and Bogus Basin’s famous Glade Runner Mountain Coaster. Its terrain accommodates skiers of all skills, from beginners to pros seeking thrilling runs. And with one of the largest night-skiing operations in the country, you can shred under the stars while enjoying stunning views of the Treasure Valley.

A National Recognition

The title of the Best Ski Area 2024 reinforces Bogus Basin’s reputation not just as a top Idaho destination but as a destination for people across the country.
