Bogus Basin is kicking off its first taste of the 2025–26 winter season with a limited opening this Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The Bogus Creek Lodge, ticket window, and retail shop will open at 9:30 a.m.

The nonprofit mountain recreation area tells Idaho News 6 it will spin its Easy Rider Conveyor carpet for beginner-level skiing and riding, offering early-season access while crews continue to prepare the rest of the mountain.
The lift is located on the lower Coach's Corner run.

Bogus Basin says staff will spend Friday building a handful of terrain-park features near the beginner area, giving early riders a few freestyle options to play on. However, lessons will not be offered this weekend.
Lift tickets for the limited-terrain weekend are $15, and season passes will be valid.
Bogus Basin reminds season pass holders that they must pick up a new season Access Card this season after system changes in February.
The mountain says full-mountain operations will begin once snow conditions allow. Until then, this weekend offers a small preview of the season ahead.
And if you’re superstitious, you can still crack the car door at the new faux–cattle guard on your way up — the Bogus Basin trolls are still said to be riding along for good luck.
