FINDING YouR 2024/25 Season Pass
At Bogus Basin, it is our mission to make outdoor recreation accessible to all members of the Treasure Valley community. To stay true to this mission, we offer a range of season pass options to fit just about any schedule and budget. This guide has everything you need to know about each pass product offering for 2024/25!
We’re offering a variety of value-packed season pass products for you to choose from for the 2024/25 season:
Limiting Season Pass Sales
Mountain recreation has boomed, and everyone wants in on the action! Ever wonder why we offer substantially more pass options than other mountains?
At times, it may feel like as though there’s simply not enough room on the mountain for everyone. In an effort to relieve these tensions and improve the mountain-going experiences, Bogus Basin restricts the quantity of each season pass type sold. In previous years, we’ve segmented our operating hours into different windows of time, allowing you to save big while purchasing a pass exclusive to the mountain experience you want!
For the 5th season in a row, we are reducing the number of Premium and Winter season passes available. Our goal is to keep wait times at the lift under 10 minutes and reduce the time it takes to park on peak days. This season we are again reducing the available True Bogus, Beyond Bogus, and Winter season pass capacities by 5%. Since introducing season pass capacity limitation, Bogus Basin has reduced the number of season pass holders with access to the mountain at peak times by over 22%.
While season passes will not reach their capacity during our 10-day sale (2/23/2024 – 3/3/2024), we anticipate True Bogus, Beyond Bogus, Winter, Value, and Twilight season passes to reach their capacities as early as September 2024.
With limited ticket sales during the season, a Bogus Basin season pass is the only way to guarantee your access to the best of the season!
