Basecamp: Jan 15-19, 2026
Immersion: Feb 20-22, 2026
Join us for the CAF-Idaho Downhill Ski/Snowboard Basecamp, an immersive winter experience for up to eight participants. This multi-day program combines on-snow skill development with hands-on workshops—guided ski and snowboard sessions, equipment care, strength and recovery training, and snow science instruction.
Whether you want to refine your technique, learn to maintain your equipment, or better understand mountain conditions, this basecamp provides a well-rounded, high-energy winter progression in a supportive, small-group setting.
Experience required: Some prior experience on the mountain is required for this basecamp.
Dates: January 15–19, 2026 and February 20–22, 2026
Location: Bogus Basin (on-snow) and Idaho Outdoor Fieldhouse (classes/recovery)
Capacity: Limited to eight participants
Led by experienced coaches and instructors, this program offers a structured progression to help participants build skill and confidence on the mountain. Each day blends time on snow with sessions focused on recovery, equipment maintenance, and safety.
We prioritize an inclusive and supportive atmosphere where athletes with physical disabilities can connect, learn from one another, and explore their potential in a safe and fun environment.
