Anniversary Inn
The Anniversary Inn is a romantic bed and breakfast inn tucked away under the shade trees at the end of Lusk Avenue, next to the Ann Morrison city park in Boise, Idaho. Each of the 41 luxury suites is designed around a specific theme providing guests with a unique experience (i.e. Enchanted Forest, Oregon Trail, Mammoth Ice Cave, French Canopy to name a few). If you are looking for a touch of romance, you may want to stay in one of the elegant rooms, such as the Presidential Suite or Romeo and Juliet Suite. If you are looking for a hint of adventure, you may choose to sleep in the Swiss Family Robinson Suite, where the bed is literally up in a tree house. (Mysteries of Egypt room pictured here).

Each suite is furnished with extraordinary attention to detail. Well appointed king and queen-size beds, large jetted tubs, and large screen TVs make these rooms the best place to rest, relax, and enjoy time away from the cares of the world. Guests will enjoy complimentary cheesecake and sparkling cider upon check in, as well as a freshly baked breakfast delivered to their room in the morning.

Bogus Basin
Bogus Basin is much more than the day hill skiers would expect of an eight-chairlift serving three mountains so close to a city (16 miles from Boise). It is a community-owned, full-service destination resort, and has 360-degree skiing around its highest peak, Shafer Butte, at 7,582 feet, which is reached on the front side by the Superior lift, and on the back by the Pine Creek lift. The back side is like the front, only pumped up. The other peak, 7,070-foot Dear Point, is accessed by the Deer Point lift from Bogus Creek Lodge and via the Showcase lift.

What about the name Bogus Basin? Legend has it that fool's gold, iron pyrite, was mined there and marketed to gullible city folks as the real thing. However, there was real stuff in the area, and all the ski runs are named after legitimate mines.

Bogus Basin also has a complete Nordic program, with 23 miles of groomed trails, rentals, lessons and a waxing bench all at the Nordic Center (Frontier Point Lodge).

The mountain also has two restaurants, as well as the 70-unit mid-mountain Pioneer Inn. Child care starts at 10 months. The 800-foot tubing runs give you a good run for your money. All tubers must be at least 36 inches tall. Tubing is a great kick-in-the-pants if you haven't done it in a while, especially on a groomed course without the pesky trees that normally get in the way. Even getting back up the hill is made easy, as the paddle tow does the work while you kick back in the tube and watch the scenery unfold.

Bogus Basin is usually open until 10 pm seven nights a week from December to mid-April. Discounted Season passes are available for new residents: Details on how to take advantage of this special offer can be found at bogusbasin.org under "Season Passes/Tickets".

Brundage Mountain Ski Resort
Brundage Mountain Resort is a medium-sized resort located high in the mountains of central Idaho 100 miles north of Boise, or 8 miles from McCall. It is best known for its powder-packed glades and luxuriously wide groomed runs, and has a reputation for some of the lightest powder in the Pacific Northwest, as well as one of the best snowcat skiing operations in the country. There are 44 ski trails served by 5 lifts with over 300 inches of snowfall annually.

Brundage is definitely an underrated resort. The skiing is pleasant and not crowded with occasional challenging drops but mostly cruisers. Intermediates find this mountain a real delight. Advanced and expert skiers and riders should head into the trees or chutes of the Hidden Valley area. Payette Lake, which Brundage overlooks, is beautiful and sparsely populated, with many outdoor activities. From the top of the mountain, you can see the Salmon River Mountains, Oregon's Eagle Cap Wilderness and the Seven Devils towering over Hells Canyon, America's deepest river gorge.

Summit elevation: 7,640 feet; vertical drop: 1,800 feet; skiable acres: 1,500; Night skiing: none.

Jetstream Aviation
Jetstream Aviation is an FAA certified part 141 fixed wing flight school in Idaho. They are committed to customer service in the most safe, efficient and professional environment. They tailor the training to each student, considering their background, future needs, schedule and concerns. They make you (the student) the priority.

Location
Jetstream is located at the Boise/Gowen Field in Boise, Idaho at "The Hanger" on the north side of the airport. The airspace at Boise provides the most ideal situation in the United Sates for flight training. The airspace is busy enough to learn how to fly with the "big boys" and to use proper radio techniques for flying in any airspace in the United States. On the other hand, the volume of traffic is not so overwhelming that the training is not feasible. Also, the air traffic controllers at Boise are some of the most professional and friendly people in the United States.

Training Syllabus
Jetstream utilizes the Jeppesen "Guided Flight Discovery" System. Training is recorded after every flight in the student's personal logbook and training folder. A syllabus is used for training to let the student plan for future flights and see the overall picture of flight training. Using the syllabus makes training shorter and therefore less expensive. It also nullifies the frustration of not knowing what the next flight is going to be about and what flight training is needed to finish the certificate or rating. Once again, these procedures are in place to better serve you, the student.

"Finish Up" Courses
Jetstream specializes in "finish up" courses. There are many students who have started their training elsewhere but have not finished for many reasons including financing, schedule, and not being satisfied with the training or service that particular school or individual had offered. There are common problems and Jetstream guarantees that as a student you will be fully satisfied with the service and training offered. On your initial contact with Jetstream, a time will be set up so listen to your background, questions and goals in order to formulate an individual plan and schedule to succeed.

GPS, Personal Aircraft Training, etc...
Jetstream also provides instruction in your airplane to include certified - advanced Cirrus instruction, pilot interview - simulator preparation, certificates, ratings and biennial flight reviews. Some popular requests include: an understanding of Global Positioning System (GPS) and utilization, radio techniques and specific airstrip procedures.
The Discovery Flight special is perfect for anyone interested in flying. It includes approximately one-half hour of you flying the aircraft and as much time as needed on the ground to answer any questions about flight training, flight careers, or financing. Contact Jetstream Aviation today to schedule this great flight. The cost is only $59.00 for the flight.

Sun Valley Ski Resort
There can only be one original ski resort, and since 1936, Sun Valley has held that distinction. Born out of a desire to bring the magic of the European ski resorts to America, Sun Valley quickly became a phenomenon without peer on this continent or any other.

From the crisp air atop Bald Mountain to the quaint walking village below, there is no other place quite like Sun Valley, regardless of the season.

Bald Mountain can be accessed at River Run on the south and Warm Springs on the north. During the winter, finely appointed day lodges, a total of 14 lifts and 65 varied runs await on either side of the mountain. Bald Mountain's seemingly endless runs stretch 2,054 acres to the edges of the Sawtooth National Forest and slide another 3,400 vertical feet, top to bottom. During the summer, the world famous mountain is open to sightseers and adventurers, whether you want a relaxing day among the wildflowers, or a challenging journey through the rugged beauty of Idaho's wilderness. Baldy, as it is affectionately called, offers nearly 28 miles of hiking and biking trails. Feel free to tackle the trails yourself, or take along one of our expert guides to point out all the little things that make the Bald Mountain experience so unique.
Sun Valley has been acclaimed as the resort that offers more recreational opportunities than any other destination resort in the country. And, with the exception of the nearby wilderness adventures, every activity is located within the village or within a very short walk. The resort is a true paradise for families who want to experience separate vacations together all within one quaint walking village surrounded by the majestic Northern Rockies.

Tamarack Resort
Tamarack Resort is a new four-season mountain resort in the Long Valley of west central Idaho about 90 miles north of Boise, west of the village of Donnelly and located on the west shore of Lake Cascade in Idaho's gorgeous and largely untouched Payette River Mountains region.

Tamarack's alpine ski area officially opened with chairlift service in December 2004. The first two seasons, Tamarack offered only snowcat-serviced terrain, enough to familiarize skiers and riders with the mountain's bounty and make them want to come back for more. It now has Discovery Way, a group of dome buildings that house necessary rental, retail and repair shops, eateries, skier services, children's center, food market and clinic. Its first hotel, The Lodge at Osprey Meadows, sits nearby with luxury rooms and condos, gourmet dining, hot tub and pools, fitness center and the full-service Sante Spa. Other lodging options include a neighborhood of Hansel & Gretel cottages, each with a private hot tub, and estate homes and chalets. All are within walking distance of the village, but a free Dial-A-Ride shuttle is available with a phone call.

Tamarack has a lift-served summit elevation of 7,660 feet above sea level on West Mountain and a vertical drop of over 2,700 feet. It's above tree line, but not by much. The top third is sparsely treed, but farther down the mountain, trails lace their way through the forest. Eventually the resort plans to have eleven lifts - seven of them high-speed - and 2,100 skiable acres. Seven lifts are presently running - three high-speed quads - accessing 39 runs and several pockets of glades, one that is a grove of Tamarack trees (hence the name), where the composition of that tree species provides excellent tree skiing and riding. Grooming on the cruisers is impeccable, and improvements to snowmaking focus high-traffic areas. The resort limits Alpine tickets to 2,000 people per day. The summit receives an average of 300 inches of snowfall, and snowmaking is available on the lower runs, due to poor snow cover. The terrain is rated at 17% novice, 44% intermediate, and 39% advanced. For the cross country skier, there are over 18 miles of Nordic trails. Lodging packages include backcountry experience trips, lift tickets, and snowmobile trips.

Summertime at Tamarack is also truly a magical time. The mountains offer crystalline alpine lakes filled with trout. Trails traverse the meadow and mountain slopes for hiking and biking to your heart's contents. Summer activities (available mid-May through October) at Tamarack include golf, mountain biking, waterfront activities, guided hiking tours, rafting and fishing.

Golf
Osprey Meadows, a Robert Trent Jones II signature 18-hole golf course, opened in May 2006. The course is just southeast of the village and ski area base, at an average elevation of 4,850 feet. The back tees play at 7,319 yards, with 100 bunkers distributed on the course. Instruction at the golf course is provided by the Jack Nicklaus Academy of Golf.

Zipline Tours
