Boise Adaptive Snowsport Education

Friday Flashback! BASE found some slides from the early 1980's that showcase the most advanced adaptive ski tech of the day.....the Arroya Sit Ski. 😉😀

PS if you can help scan these slides please message us.

Here is a fun video from the Challenged Athletes Foundation weekend.

Congrats to Mike, Greg, Andy, Eran and Clancy on earning their PSIA Level 2 Adaptive certifications.

Shoutout to Mike Pape who goes well beyond being a great instructor! He gifted one of our participants this awesome ski book as he continues to help people achieve their dreams on the mountain. Way to go Mike!!

Flashback to Wayne's first day on a mono-ski and now him teaching someone 's first mono-ski lesson.

As the temperatures finally start to drop and the snow machine slowly starts up again here at Base we are full throttle! Our athletes were putting in some turns last weekend and making memories up at Bogus. As always huge thanks to our volunteers and athletes who are the lifeline of our program. Come check out our tent and say hi next time you are up at Bogus!

While BASE is mostly active here in Boise, our touch has expanded far beyond the Treasure Valley. As we began to retire our old red ski jackets, replaced by the new blue ones (which you too can wear if you volunteer with us this winter!!!) we wanted to find a deserving home for our old jackets. That home ended up being 3,500 miles away!
Venezuela, while known for being a warm country contains the Andes Mountain range in its southern parts reaching up to 16,000 feet above sea level and having temperatures that dip well below freezing.
In 2024 the UN estimated that 82% of Venezuelans live in poverty with many of these families making a monthly income of only $1.25. Warm weather clothes are out of reach for these families and that’s where we came in.
BASE sent down 130 winter jackets that are now continuing their service warming up deserving people and providing a lifeline to those who couldn’t afford them otherwise. We are so proud to be able to donate these jackets and help those in need as heart of our organization is community, connection, and compassion reaching far beyond our mountain.
Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible and we can’t wait to see you on the slopes this season!

Come join BASE at the Egyptian Theater for Teton Gravity Research’s “Pressure Drop."

Pressure Drop features the world’s best skiers and snowboarders (plus the next generation) as they chase deep powder, massive cliffs, stacked pillow lines, and iconic spines from Alaska to Norway, BC to California, and home in Jackson Hole.

This film captures that fleeting moment between calm and chaos. The instant before gravity takes over! You don’t want to miss it. It’s going to be an incredible night as we eagerly await the season! 🎿🏂
