(EMAILWIRE.COM, August 10, 2009 ) BOISE, Idaho—Nordic, backcountry, and snowcat skiing; mountaineering; snowshoeing; snowmobiling; sleigh rides; sledding, and hot springs are just a few family activities to experience in and around Boise this winter. Families, couples, and solo travelers can take advantage of the Bogus Basin Mountain affordable winter getaway for all ages this year, with the Stay and Play offer. Buy one alpine or Nordic ticket, get the second one FREE with an overnight stay at participating Boise area hotels (many of which offer complimentary ground transportation from the airport). The special does not outline blackout dates, but some restrictions may apply.

Winter celebrations include Christmas in the City, a wonderful downtown event, complete with Santa and 250 shops for nifty finds (Boise – November 28 – December 25), plus a tree lighting. The Idaho Botanical Garden hosts Winter Garden Aglow (November 26 – January 2, 2010), spectacular display of color and over 250,000 lights in the Garden.
