BOGUS BASIN DAILY OPERATIONS TO BEGIN ON DECEMBER 1st; Night operations are slated to open earlier than anticipated, on December 9th

11/30/2022

 
Bogus Basin announced today that daily operations will begin at the non-profit on Thursday, December 1st. Open terrain remains limited to runs and a terrain park off the Deer Point Express, Morning Star Express and Coach Chairlifts, and 27km of groomed Nordic trails. A strong storm system is forecast to hit the area later this week, delivering up to twenty-two inches of snow, allowing additional terrain to open as soon as conditions allow. 

​“November delivered a mix of natural snowfall and ideal snowmaking conditions, resulting in our very early opening and good riding conditions on the front side of the mountain. The snow forecast looks favorable over the next several days, and we will open additional terrain as conditions allow.”
Nate Shake – Director, Mountain Operations

“It is thrilling to offer night operations for the community this early in December. Historically, nights begin much later – The combination of favorable weather, snowmaking, and a dedicated team is making Bogus Basin’s 80th anniversary season memorable.”
Brad Wilson – General Manager
