We visited Boise in July and was happily surprised to find so many summer activities happening at Bogus Basin. We rode the mountain roller coaster and one of the ski lifts, both of which were very fun. It seemed to be priced a bit high (roller coaster was $25 for one person in a car + $15 for a second person and $15 per person for the ski lift), but it was enjoyable. The views from the top of the ski lift were great and the roller coaster was certainly memorable. Each car can be controlled individually by the driver with a brake so if you get going too fast, the driver of the car can slow it down. Other activities were mountain bike trails with plenty of bikers enjoying the paths and jumps as well as a small hill where kiddos got to ride inner tubes.See more..
