Today’s Guided Snowshoe Program…
Snow Tracking Mammals
There are many mammals alive and well in the Bogus Basin ski area. From mountain lions to deer to red squirrels and shrews, they are there but not always directly seen. In winter these animals leave behind sign of their presence in the form of tracks and other sign. Come learn how to decipher the sign that’s left behind. This program is only one of the many FREE Guided Snowshoe Programs offered this winter. Participants must have snowshoes and a valid trail pass to join the program. Snowshoe rentals and trail passes can be purchased at the Frontier Point Lodge. Maximum of 12 people per program. Don’t forget to follow us on social media and sign up for our e-blast to keep up with all of the mountain offerings and events.

Meet your Guide!
Hit the trail with Ray Vizgirdas, retired Wildlife Biologist and lifelong Naturalist for this installment of our Guided Snowshoe Program series. With over three decades of experience working for state and federal agencies, Ray knows a thing or two about the outdoors (he has literally authored guidebooks about the flora at Bogus Basin!). On select Saturday afternoons, Ray will cover a new topic relevant to the time of year. Whether it’s winter animal adaptations or emergency snow shelters, you’re bound to learn a thing or two on your outing.
