Who We Are

BASE is a 501(c)(3) organization that provides winter sports sessions to individuals with physical or cognitive challenges. We operate out of Boise, Idaho, and we facilitate our winter sports activities at Bogus Basin, a ski mountain just 16 miles up the road from Boise.

We are a 100% all volunteer run organization and are committed to providing top a quality snowsport experience. We are inspired each day by the commitment of our volunteers and the joy that snow sport recreation brings our participants.

What we do

BASE facilitates several ski and snowboard adaptive modalities, including stand-up sessions, sit-ski sessions, 3-track stand up sessions, 4-track stand up sessions, and more. We teach these sessions to individuals with physical or cognitive challenges and tailor our approach to the unique needs of each individual participant.

We use adaptive equipment, like sit-skis, bamboo poles, tip tethers, radio communication systems, and tetra-skis, to teach individuals how to stay active and enjoy snow sports in a personalized way that complements their unique challenges and abilities.
