Bogus Basin Recreational Association

Boise, ID • On-site

Full-time

Posted 23 days ago

Job description

Job Type
Full-time, Part-time
Description
Why Bogus Basin?
Bogus Basin is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit mountain recreation area located 16 miles from Boise. We provide accessible, affordable outdoor recreation, education, and community programming year-round. Every dollar earned is reinvested back into the mountain, our people, and the community we serve.
The Bike Park Staff position supports the construction, maintenance, operation, and guest experience of The Basin Gravity Park, Bogus Basin's hiking trails, and cross-country mountain bike trail network. This role combines trail work, daily inspections, signage maintenance, on-bike trail presence, guest service, and safety support.
Ideal candidates are 18+, comfortable riding downhill and cross-country trails at an intermediate level or above, and prepared for physically demanding outdoor work in a mountain environment.
Position Overview
The Bike Park Staff role changes seasonally.
During build and repair season (April through mid-June & Labor Day through mid-November), staff focus on trail preparation, repair, improvement, and construction. Work includes brush cutting, raking, resurfacing, drainage and erosion repair, shaping berms, rollers, and jumps, supporting reroutes, and helping build new downhill mountain bike trails.
During the summer operating season (mid-June through Labor Day), staff focus on daily grooming, morning trail sweeps, signage checks, guest support, trail condition reporting, and riding trails to monitor operations and maintain a visible staff presence.
Build and repair seasons are labor-intensive. Staff should expect long days of manual work, including up to 10-hour shifts with a one-hour lunch break, up to five days per week. Weekend availability is required.
Essential Duties
  • Maintain, repair, and improve The Basin Gravity Park, hiking trails, and cross-country mountain bike trails.
  • Perform trail work including brush cutting, raking, resurfacing, erosion repair, drainage work, and feature maintenance.
  • Shape and repair bike-specific features including berms, rollers, jumps, drains, and wood features.
  • Assist with trail reroutes, reworks, and new downhill mountain bike trail construction.
  • Install, inspect, and maintain trail name, wayfinding, safety, liability, and operational signage.
  • Complete daily morning trail checks and sweeps before opening.
  • Identify, address, and report hazards including washouts, deep sand, exposed fall hazards, poor sightlines, damaged features, missing signage, and unauthorized trail work.
  • Digitally log trail work, inspections, hazards, and repair needs.
  • Ride The Basin Gravity Park and multi-use trails at a safe pace to assess conditions, monitor guest use, and maintain a visible staff presence.
  • Assist guests with directions, trail recommendations, navigation, and general questions.
  • Professionally respond to guests in prohibited areas or using trails in unintended ways.
  • Respond to radio calls and assist patrol during injury responses, trail closures, and other operational needs.
  • Support community race series, bike events, and other trail-based operations as needed.
  • Perform other related duties as assigned.

Requirements
Requirements
  • Must be at least 18 years old.

  • Available to work weekends, holidays, and variable schedules.
  • Able to work outdoors in changing mountain weather.
  • Able to walk 5-8 miles per shift on steep, uneven, loose, or off-camber terrain.
  • Able to perform physically demanding manual labor for extended periods.
  • Able to frequently lift and/or move up to 50 pounds.
  • Able to use or learn to use shovels, rakes, pulaskis, McLeods, hand saws, brushing tools, and similar trail maintenance equipment.
  • Strong attention to detail, especially related to signage, hazards, trail conditions, and guest-facing infrastructure.
  • Professional, calm, and guest-focused in busy or challenging situations.
  • Ability to complete a background check.

Preferred Qualifications
Previous trail maintenance, trail building, landscaping, construction, or outdoor labor experience is preferred. Technical trail-building skills, especially shovel work, drainage repair, and bike-feature maintenance, are highly valued. Experience building or maintaining downhill mountain bike trails, operating skid steers, mini-excavators, compact equipment, chainsaws, or gas-powered brush-cutting tools is also preferred.
On-the-job training is available for candidates with a strong work ethic and a willingness to develop the skills required for the role.
Working Conditions & Required Gear
This position is performed primarily outdoors in a mountain environment with exposure to changing weather, dust, mud, smoke, noise, vibration, and steep or uneven terrain.
Bike Park Staff are expected to report to work presentable, in uniform, and prepared for trail work and guest-facing duties. Required gear includes suitable hiking or work boots, durable work gloves, sun protection, eyewear, weather-appropriate clothing, and personal mountain bike equipment suitable for downhill and cross-country trail use.
