Planned Operations for the Holiday Period
Thanks to the hard work of your entire mountain team, snowmaking, and Snow Secure, Bogus Basin invites the community to ski and snowboard on limited terrain seven days a week beginning Saturday, December 20th. The mountain team plans to expand terrain and activity offerings, including the Frontier Point Nordic & Snowshoe Trail System and Tubing Hill, as conditions allow.
After a solid snowmaking effort Wednesday night, The Snow Sorcerers expect to make snow again tonight and throughout the weekend, so long as cold temperatures hold. Please follow us on social media, and stay tuned for updates on our website.
