Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area, Boise National Forest, ID | Seasonal, Operating Season

Are you a natural leader with a passion for hospitality and creating memorable guest experiences? 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 Shift Lead to help oversee daily food service operations and ensure a high-quality, guest-focused experience during the 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.

How You’ll Make a Difference

As a Food & Beverage Shift Lead, you’ll play a key role in leading staff, supporting daily operations, and ensuring that all guests enjoy a smooth, safe, and positive dining experience. You’ll coach and motivate your team, address guest concerns, and uphold Bogus Basin’s standards of hospitality, teamwork, and professionalism.

A Day in the Life

You’ll spend your day balancing guest service with staff leadership. From overseeing the lodge and stepping in for management when needed, to coaching employees and ensuring cleanliness standards are met, no two days are alike. You’ll address guest concerns in real-time, assist with staff training, and pitch in wherever needed to support your team.
