April 2024 Wrapped | Bogus Basin
You know what they say… April showers bring May flowers… and while there was certainly no shortage of sun on the mountain this month, we also gleefully welcomed 25″ of fresh powder in the early weeks of April. As we bid the 2023-2024 winter season farewell, we give thanks to our community of visitors (over 559,800 of you this season!) that make all that we do possible.
