Bogus Basin to begin limited summer operations on Friday

BOGUS BASIN, Idaho (CBS2) — Summer is coming to the mountains north of Boise.

Bogus Basin on Tuesday said it would be opening up its summer operations beginning on Friday. It's been a few weeks in the making with recent rain and snowy conditions up on the mountain.

“This weekend’s launch of summer operations will be scaled back as we await drier conditions around the base area and on the trails,” said Brad Wilson, general manager. “We expect to add more activities when we open for seven-day operations on June 17.”

Important note for mountain bikers and hikers: the trail system at Bogus are not accessible at this time due to snow and muddy conditions.

What will be operational this weekend?

Glade Runner Mountain Coaster, The Basin Gravity Park, scenic chair rides on the Deer Point and Morningstar lifts, and gem panning. Bike rentals will be available. Food and beverage offerings, featuring the Double R Ranch BBQ Smokehouse menu, will be available for purchase in the ICCU Base Area Plaza. Simplot Lodge will open Saturdays and Sundays for food & beverage service throughout the summer. The climbing wall, bungee trampoline and summer tubing are expected to open for the summer on June 17.
