In this episode, the Ski Moms explore Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area with Susan Saad, Director of Community and Customer Relations. Susan shares how this unique nonprofit ski area, just 16 miles from downtown Boise, has evolved over her 10-year tenure. Susan discusses the mountain's impressive 2,600 skiable acres, making it Idaho's second-largest resort, and details the extensive improvements made possible by their nonprofit model, including new chairlifts and state-of-the-art snowmaking.
Susan highlights Bogus Basin's deep community connections through innovative programs like their extensive school outreach serving 3,000+ kids annually, a groundbreaking homeschool program with 800+ participants, and their environmental education initiatives through SnowSchool. Susan explains their commitment to accessibility through affordable pricing, including $19 night skiing tickets and various pass options for different demographics.
We cover on-mountain amenities, from the main Simplot Lodge to the popular "Beach" area known for gourmet grilled cheese. Susan shares local traditions and details year-round activities, including summer mountain biking and their mountain coaster. Her insights reveal how Bogus Basin's nonprofit status allows them to prioritize community engagement while maintaining high-quality ski operations, making it a unique model in the industry. The episode provides a comprehensive look at this community-focused mountain that combines affordable access with extensive terrain and programs for all ability levels.
