Bogus Basin announced today that the ski resort will operate the Coach Chairlift along with three conveyor lifts — Explorer, Easy Rider, and Discovery — this coming weekend. The opening includes expanded terrain options for both experienced riders and beginners.
The Explorer Conveyor will provide access to an adjacent terrain park featuring approximately eight intermediate and advanced features. Meanwhile, beginners can look forward to several pods of "learn-to-ride" terrain park elements along the side of the Coach’s Corner trail, created by the Mountain Experience team.

Cooler temperatures this week allowed Bogus Basin’s snowmaking crew to convert nearly 6 million gallons of water into snow across the Coach’s Corner, Stewart’s Bowl, Morning Star, and Silver Queen trails. Snowmaking efforts will continue as conditions permit.
This weekend also marks the debut of Bogus Basin’s Terrain-Based Learning program — an industry-leading initiative that aims to accelerate the learning process for skiing and snowboarding. Through self-guided tutorials or instructor-led sessions, guests will progress through gentle, playful features such as rollers and banked turns, designed to make learning fun and low-pressure.
Terrain-Based Learning stations will remain accessible throughout the season via the Discovery and Easy Rider conveyors.
