Bogus Basin to Open Season Early Using Snow Saved From Last Winter
Bogus Basin ski area near Boise, in Boise County, Idaho, plans to open its season early using snow it saved from last winter under a Finnish Snow Secure storage system, Unofficial Networks reported Nov. 11. The stored snow pile measures about 35 by 80 by 330 feet, and roughly 60 percent of it survived the summer despite surface temperatures reaching 118 degrees on the pile's cover.
Bogus Basin was the first ski area in the United States to trial the system in 2025. The resort has tentatively set its opening day for Nov. 21, weeks ahead of a typical start, and said the stored snow will guarantee a base for early-season runs even if natural snowfall is slow to arrive.
