The Bogus Basin Ski Education Foundation is a program for people of all ages who want to compete in alpine ski racing and freeride skiing. As an organization dedicated to providing top-level coaching to athletes, participants are primarily high-school age and younger. We have adult groups as well. These participants compete as members of the Bogus Basin Ski Team. The primary function of the BBSEF is to promote good citizenship, with the emphasis on training in athletics and physical fitness.

The program includes training sessions both on and off the hill that promote activities to improve the individual’s capabilities for skiing, racing and freestyle. These activities encompass general fitness training, on snow drills, gate training, mogul training, aerial training, demonstrations, race rules, athlete responsibility, and sportsmanship.

Our main concern is the development of the athlete as a whole. Winning events is secondary to instilling a good work ethic, self-esteem, and enthusiasm. Athletes, parents, and coaches recognize that sustained interest in the program is best served by cultivating a supportive team environment based on mutual respect as well as self-motivation. BBSEF offers a variety of Alpine and Freestyle/Freeride “Team Shred” programs for ages 6 and older.

BBSEF Mission
The mission of the BBSEF is to provide competitive alpine and freestyle educational programs for the youth of the Treasure Valley.

The specific goals our organization include working to:

• Emphasize quality coaching, state-of-the-art training techniques, sportsmanship, self esteem, and enthusiasm.

• Enable athletes to achieve their highest level in athletics and education consistent with their personal goals, abilities, time, and financial forum.

• Continue to build trusting relationships with parents, athletes, and school districts.

• Be the Treasure Valley’s preferred winter sports program.

At the end of the day, it's all about smiles.
