Today was day 10 for me at bogus (7 for my now 3 yr old). Totally freaking digging it. Got a little extra time on my hands w paternity leave too.
Wife gave me a few hrs tomorrow morning. Anybody I can chase around pine creek / superior? Never seen em in the daytime.
I’m in orange helmet, dirty orange Arcteryx pants, skittle style lime green/blue jacket on Wagner or DPS. Hard to miss.
Honk if you see Da Goose.
“Helmets are for skee-in Dada!”

The legend continues!
I'll be making a few laps on Pine Creek tomorrow in a bright yellow Helly Hansen jacket. Will keep an eye out for you.
Beware, bottom of Superior is horrible as well as bottom of Paradise.
Didn’t end up making it today but fingers crossed for tomorrow.
Ma-honk

I spent most of the day Sunday lapping Chair 6. Upper Nugget was groomed nice, as well as Upper Paradise. No one was on the mountain, so I could go as fast as I wanted. My legs are finally in ski shape! We should select a meeting spot and time like they do in Teton Village (fireplace at 11:00am), so that TGR fanbois (and gals) can meet like minded individuals. I propose the bench at the top of 6 at 11:00am.
Will be up there again this Sunday. will swing by top of 6 around 11
Hey glad to see someone taking another crack at a Boise area thread! Seems to be what Ullr was waiting for, next few weeks looking pretty promising, finally… Hey Bill, rode the chair with ya first week of the season (first time I been change-for-a-nickel’d) thanks for the warm welcome to town! Would love to take some laps with bogus mags, I’m in a yellow lid and yellow/orange norrona jacket most days.

Would be cool to ski Bogus with some other like minded folks, heck met one of my best friends on the message board years ago....some people in the digital world here knew Joe too.
Once my damned ribs heal (they're currently healing well) I'll be back out going fast and seeking out all my favorite lines on Pine Creek and elsewhere. I hit a tree on Stump Bowl on Saturday December 16th after I hooked my edge/tip during a turn, glad it was only my ribs and not more serious.
Don't blindly follow tracks somewhere through a non-existent gate without knowledge of where it goes or without the right equipment. Nate doesn't like to have to call Boise County sheriff and Idaho Mountain Search and Rescue. I'm looking at you BBSRA coaches.
Work is winding down a bit and some snow is on its way. Might see y’all up there soon.
Any reports from today? Seems like a rough one to miss but some more goods on the way

AM was awesome but parking was a zoo… stuff on the backside is getting filled in, pine creek bowl and the triangle both skied pretty well considering how they were looking a week ago. Midweek should be great!Quote:

I went yesterday and it got better as the day went on. Pretty firm at first ended up real nice. Remarkable how the snow got slower as the day progressed. I didn’t see anybody at the bench at 11:00 AM.

I couldn't get the timing right to swing by the bench around 11 today. Lift line at Pine Creek moved well enough but was still considerable especially compared to the ghost town it was on Saturday. I'm tied up while I'm up there on Saturdays but will take a swing by the bench next Sunday.
Are you working the Dotty Clark races?
Nope, not working the race, is that this weekend?
2/22-23 for Dotty Clark.
The qualifying races start Saturday.

Unheard of snow totals in Boise my buddy says. Huge storm.
Says foothill skiing is going to go off.
4” which is a lot for a desert dweller. Schools are closed, Karen’s are panicked, pure pandemonium. Skiing will be decent but nothing crazy.
Probably enough snow to prevent broken ribs when visiting the Stump Patch now!
As of yesterday, it was skiing decent. The bafoons were sure drawn out of hiding judging by the drive up today.
LOL, but there's still trees, just not as much brush to hook an edge/tip now though.Quote:

Well, my season ended this morning. Broke my ankle walking the dog on icy sidewalks. See you all next year.

Fuk man, that sucks! Heal fast and maybe you catch some late spring skiing. Damned dogs!Quote:

Sorry dude.
Bummer, heal up
Did my first bogus dawn patrol of the season yesterday. Sure is pretty & peaceful watching the sun rise over mores before things get busy. Upper lots were parked out by the time I got back to the car, looked like a zoo despite near-zilch temps. Gonna try to make a habit of AM fitness laps this year, anybody else in this thread getting after it before lifts turn?
Edit - with respect to spudbumpkin’s fukt ankle, RIP
Don’t feel bad for me. I expect you all to drive on with Life’s adventures and post them up here so I can observe vicariously. Ankles heal, next season will be here before we know it.

Just a quick PSA for Bogus skiers.
Apparently the Forest Circus is going up to Bogus now with drug dogs and sniffing around for "contraband" while vehicles are parked and the owners are skiing.
I guess the Forest circus in Idaho has nothing better to do in the winter and must need the revenue or something, or they are just THAT BORED.
Mind you, you can get blackout drunk at the Simplot Lodge or at the Firewater, drive home and no one would blink and eye, but God forbid someone uses cannabis. Probably some transplant from Texas or California complained and that thought they left that in the rear view mirror when they moved to their 6000 sq ft. home in Idaho that didn't want their little Johnny having to smell that awful cannabis.
If true...Quote:
