Today is a great day for skiers and snow boarders at Bogus Basin. Not only do they have incredible amounts of new snow, but they are opening the newly upgraded Superior Chairlift as a high-speed detachable quad lift! Old timers like me still call it Chair 3.
They will also be opening Bitterroot Basin (chair 5) and Pine Creek (chair 6).
Bogus went from one extreme to another with this year crushing an unfortunate record - their latest opening. We went from that to now having a 49” base thanks to this storm. On the 18th, they got 10” of snow, another 14” on Thursday, three more on Friday and so far another 6” today.
Night skiing is slated to open on Wednesday, January 25th, 2012.
Bogus Basin ticket prices are currently $38 for a day pass and $30 for the afternoon pass. If you still need an added incentive on top of the nearly three feet of fresh snow this week at Bogus Basin, stop in at your neighborhood Jackson’s convenience store and buy a 12-pack of any Pepsi product and you will receive a “Jackson’s Ski For Less Voucher” that will allow up to 4 people to receive $10 off an adult lift ticket, rental package, or walk in group lesson. Check with Jackson’s Food Stores or Bogus for any specifics on this program.
One of the things I love about living in Boise is the night skiing. I can have dinner with my family at 6pm, and still head up to Bogus Basin night skiing and enjoy about 10-14 runs before 10pm while I enjoy the city lights below and fresh air.
As a Realtor and Broker of Progressive Realty Corporation, I also enjoy taking my relocation clients up to Bogus to give them a personal tour.
I think I might be suffering from “altitude deprivation sickness”. The best cure is heading to higher altitudes to help cure your attitude! I hope to see you at Bogus and maybe we could take a few runs together some day.
