Bogus Basin Announces Expanded Terrain And Lodge Offerings For The Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend, 11/28 – 12/1

Boise, Idaho – Bogus Basin announced plans to expand open terrain and lift service for the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend, November 28^th – December 1^st. With 9″ of new natural snowfall in the last week and cold temperatures boosting snowmaking efforts, the nonprofit mountain will begin operating the Deer Point and Morning Star Express Chairlifts, and the Frontier Point Trail System for cross country skiing and snowshoeing.

“We are thrilled to begin the Thanksgiving holiday with more open terrain, made possible by a combination of natural snowfall and round-the-clock snowmaking efforts. Bogus Basin is ready to welcome the community and celebrate a great start to the holiday season.”

Brad Wilson, General Manager
