Mountain to Main Street: A Boise Winter Day
Most ski days end in a ski town. A Boise ski day can end in a city. That’s one of the things that makes winter here different. Bogus Basin is just 16 miles north of Boise, close enough that a morning or afternoon on the mountain doesn’t have to take over your entire day. You can ski, snowboard, or tube, then head back down and trade your boots for something a little more comfortable.

Here’s a quick rundown of the latest updates affecting local diners.

A new Idaho park opens near Boise. Here's what it offers for kids and more
A 50-acre park near the Western Idaho Fair grounds officially opened to the public Friday. It was the culmination of over five years of effort by Ada County commissioners, who celebrated the opening. In a world dominated with screens, nature has “real and measurable positive impacts,” Commissioner Rod Beck said at Friday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. Though “there was initially talk of stores, housing and other development” on the property, “this board determined to do something meaningful that would have a lasting legacy and enhance all that is good about Ada County.” The project, which cost roughly $42 million, finished ahead of schedule after mild weather allowed work to continue during the winter, Beck said. The park sits on the site of the former Les Bois Park, a racetrack that fielded horse races for decades until a 2015 law banning certain gambling machines ended live contests. In the years after, developers and officials imagined different futures for the site, like putting Garden City’s downtown at Expo Idaho, according to previous Statesman reporting.
