Why Bogus Basin?

Where Mountain Life Meets City Living: 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 thriving downtown, welcoming neighborhoods, and an energetic arts and dining scene, Boise pairs urban life with quick access to the outdoors, just 16 miles from the slopes.

Employees enjoy the perks of mountain life while being part of a community-oriented team.
