Winter's here; grab your gear
Ski Boise’s Bogus Basin Starting Wednesday
Time for the annual transformation into ski-town!By Jill Kuraitis, 12-14-08
Bogus Basin Ski Resort, Boise’s local ski hill, will open for the 2008-2009 winter season Wednesday, December 17. Recent storms have delivered enough snow for the front of the mountain to open. Chairlifts 1, 2, 4, 7 and Easy Rider will run.
Steve Shake, V.P. of mountain operations, said, “We’ll open more of the mountain, including night skiing and riding, as we receive more snow.”
Since the weather outside is frightful, the potential for full mountain skiing soon looks delightful.
Operating hours for Wednesday thru Friday will be: 10:00am-4:30 pm.
The J.R. Simplot, Pioneer and Frontier Point lodges will be open. Bogus Basin Ski & Snowboard School will offer its full complement of lessons.
Nordic (cross-country) skiing will open daily operations tomorrow, Monday December 15th. For more information from the Nordic Center call 332-5390.
The Pepsi GoldRush Tubing Hill will open for daily/holiday operation beginning Friday. GoldRush reservations are available online or at the Boise office at 2600 Bogus Basin Road.
Valleywide bus service will begin day routes on Saturday with the holiday/weekend schedule. For the bus schedule, call 332-5110 or go to Bogus Basin’s website.
Guests can always get the most up-to-date mountain conditions and current weather on that website, or they can call the snowphone at 342-2100.
Lift ticket prices will be discounted until the full mountain opens.
Guests can still purchase the popular Bogus Bonus Bucks gift cards. There is a 20% bonus on Bogus Basin Gift Cards at the main office on Bogus Basin Road or website through December 20th. They are honored anywhere credit cards are accepted by Bogus Basin. The office is open Monday thru Friday, 9am-6pm.
