No elevator dump, but I did drive through the parking lot blasting the Dead Kennedys version of Take This Job and Shove It as I left
There are, sadly, no 'burly' trails in Boise.
Basically all XC.
There are some fun shuttles from Bogus Basin, such as Eastside and Sweet, Sweet Connies.
(But I don't know what the moisture situation is up there)
You won't find tech until you get to southern Utah or possibly Denver.

They are still fun!
This "old" thread re: Boise trail recs, was recently bumped with some current condition beta and a warning of cars being hulk/smashed:

See if you can find a shuttle to Bogus Basin, there could be trail clear of snow by now. Its like a 3000 ft descent back to Boise.
You will want to come down Jacob's Ladder, with another lap down Maple Hollow DH.
You might even hook up with some shuttle monkeys.

This looks really good (but I haven't done it)

Yes, but he should spend a few days there...he will hit Loma first.
Yes - Loma on the way in, then 18-Road. 18-Road shouldn't take him more than about 4 hours to do everything worth doing. I'd recommend Zippity, Joe's/MoJo, PBR, then Kessel to finish.
Then on to Lunch Loops. Ribbon (sort out a shuttle if possible), Eagle's Wing, Free Lunch, Holy Cross, Gunny Loop - might want to do a couple days at Lunch Loops.
Then I'd recommend you at *least* hit Grandstaff in Glenwood Springs, and perhaps go up and do some loops at Red Hill in Carbondale. Probably do both these areas (Glenwood + Red Hill) in a day fairly easily.
Then hit Berry Creek in Edwards (haven't done it but heard good things) and Lee's Way Down in Avon as many times as you can manage. Lee's is a fucking HOOT. Shuttle if you can figure one out. @Nick knows a guy... that if in town, likes to shuttle.
After Avon things are going to be pretty Mud Season-ish until you get to the Front Range. Try to get here by Thursday. Don't ask me why.

@SkaredShtles @Nick Sent you guys PMs. Shoot me a text when you get a chance
I take it norcack is not on the list?
Who the hell convinced you to go to the front range?
That's like commuter trails for march. Stop in Eagle, ride there and hardscrabble, and the stuff shtles mentioned around glenwood and fogettaboutit.
Although full trucker is nice. That's a better reason to go there than the trails. (sorry front rangers, not sorry).

The only thing good about the Front Range any more is us old cool dudes.
And Dakota Ridge. And even that isn't very cool any more.
inorite?
This x237.
Aw, shucks. That said, if we can coordinate a bit I think we could put together something a bit more funner to ride close-ish to "The Front Range". @HAB I'm not sure what you're working on planning with @Nick and @SkaredShtles but if you're planning to be in the Golden/Denver/FR area Sunday you should convince them to do a Mountain Lion / Longhorn day, and if ya'll are up for it knock out a bonus lap on Warren G.Although full trucker is nice. That's a better reason to go there than the trails. (sorry front rangers, not sorry
Shit, that's a hardtail ride any more.
I'll be there by Sunday for sure, and am up for a healthy sized ride.
I've been getting close to suggesting some shuttles, but there's still a ton of snow on Squaw right now that needs to go away.
