HOST CLUB:
The Boise Figure Skating Club has been in existence for about 10 years. Prior to that, it was known as the Treasure Valley Figure Skating Club. It is a nonprofit organization run strictly by volunteers and is a board-elected club of eight members. Its mission is to foster amateur competition in figure skating and to promote the advancement of figure skating in the Boise community and surrounding areas. The Boise Figure Skating Club is governed by organizational bylaws that are consistent with the rules, policies, procedures and code of conduct and principles of ethical behavior of the U.S. Figure Skating.
Every June, the Boise Figure Skating Club hosts a competition sanctioned by the U.S. Figure Skating. It also offers a couple test sessions per year which enable skaters to either advance to compete in qualifying competitions or to continually challenge themselves and their abilities.
Members of the Boise Figure Skating Club volunteer their time to assist the Idaho Ice World and its learn-to-skate program during the annual Christmas on Ice show, in which club skaters also perform. Club skaters also provide intermission entertainment at the Idaho Steelheads and Junior Idaho Steelheads games throughout the year.

AREA INFORMATION:
The Boise area is called the Treasure Valley and spreads between the Boise Foothills and the Owyhee mountains in the distance. Boise means “City of Trees.” The City of Boise is the capital of the state of Idaho. There is much to see and do in Boise. A tour train ventures around the city several times a day from Julia Davis Park offering a guided tour of interesting and historical sites, such as the historic Basque community and the Boise Depot. Also found at Julia Davis Park is the Boise Zoo with many new developments. Popular gathering areas are BoDo and 8th Street in Downtown Boise where many shops and restaurants can be found. Boise is well known as a recreational community. The many parks and hiking and mountain bike trails are a constant source of enjoyment. The famous Snake River runs through the heart of Boise and is a very popular place in the summer and early fall for floating the river. Running along the river is a walking/bike path called “The Greenbelt” that extends for miles. Fishing is a popular pastime as well. Other popular sites to see are the Boise Art Museum, Ann Morrison Center, Discovery Center, and in the summer and early fall common attractions are the Shakespeare Festival, Jazz Festival and Art in the Park. Boise is also home to Boise State University and the very popular Boise State Broncos as well as the Idaho Steelheads Hockey team, which plays at the downtown Qwest Arena. Also, within the Treasure Valley are two additional arenas and the Idaho Fairgrounds, which are used for local concerts and events. One of the arenas, the Idaho Center, is home to our basketball team, the Idaho Stampede. In addition to this, our famous Snake River Stampede Rodeo and Idaho State Fair bring in many crowds. In the surrounding areas are several lakes and our own ski resort, Bogus Basin, as well as the famous Payette River known for kayaking and white-water rafting. Within three hours distance, you can be in two beautiful resorts, the world-renowned Sun Valley and McCall, Idaho.
