No Ski & Snowboard Check in 2009-2010In an effort to cut costs, Bogus Basin will NO LONGER offer a Ski and Snowboard check at either lodge. In turn, new racks have been built to stow gear and Bogus Basin’s Black Diamond Sports will offer low-cost combination locks for skis and snowboards. Bogus Basin encourages all guests to take responsibility for their own gear and keep it secure. This move will save your non-profit area more than $70,000 annually, one of numerous cost cutting measures taken to keep skiing and riding affordable at Bogus Basin.


i think im gonna be spending my 3 weeks skiing Brundage.

what's the big deal? my old mountain didn't offer anything like this, and it was huge for the east coast (7springs).

either get a lock or separate your skis when you go into the lodge. if someone really wants to steal a pair they're not going to snag one and go hunting for the other

they are soooooo poor. they raised the season pass prices from $199 to $230.

plus they want to blow up the bunny hill and redo it and make a new childcare place and, put in a quad for morning star. which wont happen with the way the mountains money is being used.

i think we will be lucky to see that within the next 20 years if anyone sticks around.

be glad you have something to ski on, cause if bogus wasnt there you'd have to drive an hour and a half everytime you wanted to ski. it may suck but its all we have

Yeah this blows for sure. I'm just gonna keep my stuff in sight at all times. But i really dont see how a fence with racks and two guys standing there costs $70,000 a year....

they probably just know you suck morgan.

and buy a ski lock or separate your shit, they are like 10 dollars at greenwoods, ima just buy a lock. And how the fuck is it 70,000 for two people to sit there and give people little plastic things? I hope they spend that "70k" on something worthwhile

u make it sound like we're all stuck here for the rest of our lives... if i wasn't such a good friend and bailed on some of my homies, i'd be in colorado right now having the time of my life... but instead i'm stuck in a 1-year lease in this fucking state with nothing to ski on...

can't wait til next season... hopefully we can all make the best of this one. if it ever fuckin snows enough.

bogus food prices are getting out of hand. 10$ for a double bacon cheeseburger? and since there is no ski check I can't bring food in my backpack because I would have to by a fucking locker.

Last Year all I had to say was "Chicken Under the Seat" and they would put the chicken and then the fries. So then It would look like it was only fries.

On reason why bogus may suck is because everyone steals so they loose money.


All of you guys are saying what you do to get stuff cheaper, and i have known soo many people that steal from bogus, if you just paid what you were supposed to bogus wouldnt suck so hard, because they would actually be making some money to make things nicer.


same goes for lift tickets and borrowing peoples season passes.

it doesnt matter what people do, bogus will never change. even if they made a bunch of money, they would probably just do something rediculous with it, like add more buses or something very unnecessary.
