HOW DID CHAMBER DAY AT BOGUS BASIN BEGIN?
In 2013, Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area was struggling after several years of lacking snowfall. The Boise Metro Chamber rallied it's members and the community for a day of support that February. Since then, it's become a fun, annual tradition providing Chamber-members and local businesses with the opportunity to support this valuable community asset and network with fellow Chamber members in a nontraditional business setting.
