TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO TRICKLE IN -- MANY OF US MAY BE WONDERING
WHAT A COVID WINTER
WILL LOOK LIKE? WILL WE
ALL NEED TO HUNKER
DOWN INSIDE? OR WILL
WE BE ABLE TO RECREATE
RESPONSIBLY?
BOGUS BASIN HAD A
PRACTICE RUN THIS
SUMMER -- OPERATING
DURING A PANDEMIC.
AND NOW THEY'RE
GIVING US SOME CLUES AS
TO WHAT THIS WINTER
SEASON HAS IN-STORE.
KTVBS KATIJA STJEPOVIC
HAS MORE.
BOGUS BASIN HAS SPENT
MONTHS PLANNING AND
PREPARING TO OPEN UP
THEIR SLOPES ONCE
AGAIN.
10:13 WE DID A LOT THIS
SUMMER, INCLUDING
EXPANDING OUR FOOD
AND BEVERAGE OUTLET
THIS SUMMER, WE ALSO
DOUBLED THE
SNOWMAKING CAPACITY
OF COVERAGE ON THE
MOUNTAIN WE ADDED
SNOWMAKING ON
SHOWCASE, ON MORNING
STAR TRAIL, AND
SOURDOUGH SO WE'VE
ADDED THREE TOP TO
BOTTOM RUNS ON
SNOWMAKING THIS YEAR
10:34
BRAD WILSON GENERAL
MANAGER AT BOGUS
BASIN SAYS ADDING THE
SNOW MAKING ALLOWS
THEM SET A DATE TO
OPEN ON NOVEMBER 27.
HE SAYS THERE ISNT
ENOUGH NATURAL SNOW
BY THEIR OPENING DAY,
THEY WILL MAKE IT
THEMSELVES.. BUT THAT'S
JUST ONE HURDLE
THEY'VE OVERCOME IN
THE REOPENING PROCESS.
4:16 WHAT WE DO KNOW
IS THAT WE ARE NOT
GOING TO GET INTO A
SCENARIO WHERE WE ARE
PARKED OUT FOR
INSTANCE WITH ALL OF
OUR PARKING SPACES
FULL, IF WE DO HAVE TO
LIMIT CAPACITY IT WILL BE
BY PARKING SPACES, AND
LIFT
LIFT TICKETS SOLD 4:34 THIS YEAR INDOOR CAPACITY WILL BE LIMITED
TO FIFTY PERCENT. THE
NUMBER OF LIFT TICKETS
SOLD WILL BE MONITORED
CLOSELY AND MAY BE
LIMITED ON PEAK DAYS
AND
AND HOLIDAYS. WILSON SAYS PASS HOLDERS WILL BE A PRIORITY. AND YOU
MAY NOTICE A SLIGHT
INCREASE IN LIFT TICKET
PRICES. WILSON SAID THE
NON PROFIT RESORT HAD
TO DO THIS TO OFFSET
ALL OF THE EXPENSES
AND UNCERTAINTIES THAT
COME WITH OPERATING
DURING COVID.
BRAD WILSON GENERAL
MANAGER AT BOGUS
BASIN
:40 IF PEOPLE WANT TO
COME UP AND GO SKIING,
THE LIFTS WILL BE
RUNNING AS THEY
NORMALLY
NORMALLY DO , WE WILL BE OPENING AS NORMALLY AS WE DO
AND WILL BE OPEN UNTIL
TEN OCLOCK AT NIGHT SO
IF YOU WANT TO COME
PARK AND GO FOR A RIDE
YOU WONT SEE A
DIFFERENCE BUT IF YOU
WANT TO HANG OUT ,
HAVE LUNCH TAKE SOME
LESSONS, THERE WILL BE
SOME DIFFERENCES 1:00
MASKS ARE REQUIRED IN
LINE, IN THE BASE AREA
AND WHILE RIDING THE
LIFT.
IF YOU WANT TO RIDE
WITH SOMEONE YOU CAN,
BUT YOU'LL ALSO HAVE
THE OPTION TO RIDE
ALONE SKI LESSONS WILL
NOT BE TAUGHT IN
CLASSES SIZES BUT
WILSON SAYS IF YOU ARE
FAMILY OR IN THE SAME
GROUP, LESSONS CAN BE
TAKEN TOGETHER. THE
GLADE MOUNTAIN
COASTER WILL TAKE A
BREAK THIS SEASON.
9:20 YOU WANT TO SKI
AND WE WANT TO
PROVIDE THAT TO
EVERYBODY, SO MY
BIGGEST CONCERN IS
REALLY THE UNKNOWN,
YOU KNOW ARE WE
GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER
SPIKE? YOU KNOW WITH
THE FLU COMBINED WITH
COVID 19 YOU KNOW,
WHO KNOWS THAT'S THE
STUFF THAT KEEPS ME
AWAKE AT NIGHT. 9:34
WE
WE SHOULD
WE SHOULD ALSO MENTION FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO RELY HEAVILY
ON PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION -- BUS
SERVICE TO THE
MOUNTAIN WILL NOT BE
AVAILABLE THIS SEASON.
HOWEVER, THERE WILL
STILL BE A PARKING LOT
SHUTTLE...
