Are you a friendly, detail-oriented multitasker who thrives in a fast-paced environment? At Bogus Basin, the largest nonprofit Mountain Recreation Area in the nation, we offer a unique space where community meets the mountain. We're seeking a Winter Food & Beverage Cashier to help process guest transactions and support lodge operations during the busy winter season.

Why Bogus Basin?

Where Mountain Life Meets City Living: Work at a four-season mountain recreation area while living in Boise—one of the fastest-growing, most livable cities in the U.S. With a thriving downtown, welcoming neighborhoods, and an energetic arts and dining scene, Boise pairs urban life with quick access to the outdoors, just 16 miles from the slopes.

Mission-Driven, Community-Focused: As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Bogus Basin is dedicated to providing accessible, affordable outdoor recreation, education, and community programming year-round. Every dollar earned is reinvested into the mountain and its people, not shareholders. Our values of kindness, respect, professionalism, and fun create a workplace where everyone is welcome.

Unbeatable Access to the Outdoors: Located in the Boise National Forest, Bogus Basin offers year-round activities: skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and tubing in the winter; mountain biking, hiking, and chairlift rides in the summer. Employees enjoy the perks of mountain life while being part of a community-oriented team.
