It was a great season of night riding at your local playground! Night Operations kicked off on December 20th, 2024, and ended 92 days later at 10 pm on Saturday, March 22nd. Whether you rode until 10 pm every night or caught a few sunset laps, we’re grateful you chose to spend your evenings with us.

61 Seasons Of Riding Under the Lights
Bogus Basin first lit up the slopes for night riding in 1964. Since then, we’ve expanded mountain terrain, added chairlifts, and installed new lights to improve the night riding experience.

- Illuminated Runs
- 27
- Lifts

Today, guests can explore 27 lighted runs and ride six different lifts long after the sun sets.
This season, we introduced the brand-new Coach Chairlift and expanded Coach’s Corner run, complete with upgraded lighting. During the midseason, families and new skiers and snowboarders can confidently build their skills until 10 pm every night of the week!
Snowbrains visits your local mountain
Earlier this winter, SnowBrains shined a spotlight on night riding at Bogus Basin! They praised our welcoming local vibe, expansive terrain, and the magical “Secret Groom” up the Ridge Run at Twilight.
“One of Bogus Basin’s biggest draws is its night skiing. Unlike most resorts, which shut down by 4 p.m., the mountain keeps lifts spinning until 10 p.m. That means on weekends, you can ski from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. — a full 13 hours of skiing in a single day.”
Brett Ploss, SnowBrains
Thanks for the feature, SnowBrains!
