BEYOND THE SLOPES
Bogus Basin offers multifaceted adventure BY CHRIS LANGRILL
When most people think of Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area, they think of downhill skiing. And for good reason. Bogus Basin features ten lifts, four high-speed quads, 2,600 acres of skiable terrain, and 90 runs. But it is no one-trick pony. Over the past several years, Bogus Basin has delivered on its mission of becoming
a year-round recreation destination. In the summer months, people can enjoy a ropes course, a mountain coaster, hiking, mountain biking, and more. “We see about 100,000 people up there each summer now,” said Susan Saad, director of customer and community relations. And when summer turns to winter, the focus might be on downhill skiing, but
there are still any number of activities that will lure people up to Bogus Basin. “It’s wonderful to see how much we’ve grown, and people have recognized that,” Saad said. “We’re excited to continue to expand the offerings we have up there.” Here’s a look at a few of those offerings that Bogus Basin has available during the winter months—in addition to downhill skiing, of course.
