Mccall Winter Sports Club Newsletter | August '19
8/30/2019 email (4).html McCall Winter Sports Club Newsletter | August '19 I hope this email finds you well, happy, healthy and enjoying summer. Still five months until ski season. For some it's not soon enough. For these nine athletes it was a teaser to be on snow at Mt. Hood this past week. Five days skiing on a glacier, lunches on the mountain, swimming, hiking, team-building and camping-in with friends. Sounds like a lot of fun, but all that aside it's a privilege for each of these skiers as they've worked hard to be there. Whatever the end- goal is for gate training, video review and early mornings to start it off; this experience for the athletes won't be forgoen or dismissed. That's a win in the eyes of Coach Dave Rosen who's goal was to share the same experience he fondly remembers as a young skier himself with his athletes. Keep reading for other happenings and announcements from McCall Winter Sports Club; including the naming of our Alpine Ski Race Program Director and Head Coach, Ski Bum Scramble, Pints for a Cause, athlete scholarships, IMD race schedule and other winter teasers! Special thanks to Coach Dave for his commitment to solid days of training on and off the mountain. Thank you to Lissa Beebe for cooking meals and being Team Mom to the athletes away from their families. Thanks to Tim Andra file:///C:/Users/Executive Director/Downloads/email (4).html 1/6 8/30/2019 email (4).html and Willy Beebe for helping with on-hill training logistics and rounding up the crew.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Susan Saad Director of Community & Customer Relations Bogus Basin Mountain Recreation Area [email protected] 208-332-5129 (O) 208-631-1657 (C) BOGUS BASIN ANNOUNCES PLANS, IMPROVEMENTS FOR THE 2020-21 WINTER SEASON Over a safe and successful summer, the nonprofit recreation area developed a comprehensive winter plan for COVID-19, increased snowmaking, doubled down on brush cutting, and spiffed up Simplot Lodge. BOISE, Idaho (October 5, 2020) With the final weekend of summer operations over, Bogus Basin has announced plans for the upcoming winter. The 2020-21 winter season is expected to begin at the nonprofit recreation area on Friday, November 27, 2020; earlier if snow conditions allow. Bogus Basin’s downtown sales office, located at 2600 Bogus Basin Road, will open for the season on Wednesday, October 7th at 10:00am. At that time, Bogus Basin’s Ski & Snowboard School employees will begin taking telephone reservations for private and semi-private lessons. Seasonal ski and snowboard leases will also be open, by appointment only. Season passes will go on sale, and will be available for purchase online, by phone or in-person. Ski and snowboard enthusiasts can look forward to a number of improvements at the area. Snowmaking capacity has expanded, doubling the number of runs with top-to-bottom coverage. Bogus Basin also leveraged an opportunity to brush cut areas logged over the summer as part of the Forest Health Initiative, expanding the skiable terrain. Additionally, Simplot Lodge has a fresh clean look, with new paint and flooring throughout. Over the summer, Bogus Basin officials worked closely with the National Ski Areas Association (NSAA), and Idaho Ski Areas Association (ISAA) to develop and adopt a standard set of ski industry best practices for COVID-19 in winter.

Bogus to Boise Banzai Puts a Wrap on the Wild Rockies Season with a Weekend of Fun Events September 14Th-16Th
Bogus to Boise Banzai Puts a Wrap on the Wild Rockies Season with a Weekend of Fun Events September 14th-16th The Wild Rockies Series wrapped up the 2007 season with fun events for everyone held at Bogus Basin Resort. Over 230 racers participated in events during the weekend in Boise, Idaho on Sept 14, 15, and 16. Our Twilight Run, Singlespeed Championship, Kamikaze Downhill and Bogus to Boise Banzai represented round 7 of the 2007 Wild Rockies Regional Championship Series and attracted participants from Idaho, Utah, Montana and California. The first race of the weekend was the cross-country twilight run held Friday evening on a wild, 5.5-mile course with 1100 vertical feet of elevation, rock gardens and numerous sections of new trail. Saturday began with the Idaho State and Northwestern Regional Singlespeed Championships, sanctioned by USA Cycling. Racers competed over a special, very tough, 6-mile leg that included new sections of single-track. Following the Singlespeed race was the downhill race, on a brand new course; dubbed the “Kamikaze” because the pro/expert course was littered by big rocks and gaps, intimidating most riders to the point of a walking inspection prior to race time. This race was a technical course built especially for the Wild Rockies Bogus weekend by a group of Reed Cycle volunteers. This course is extremely technical and safety was overseen by Darren Lightfield. Mandatory walking inspections were required and it’s recommended during a race or not. Lorien Lightfield took extra care to set up a fun and safe course for the beginner racers, ensuring they had their own ‘Kamikaze’ experience.
