November 2009
                    The Best Snow in Idaho              Uncrowded....Unspoiled....Unbelievable
Nov182009 Greetings!
A string of storms is bringing snow to our beloved mountain, and the question on everyone's mind is "Will Brundage Mountain Be Open for Thanksgiving?" We wish we could answer that definitively, but it's a bit too soon to tell. We're watching the forecast and the sky closely, counting every inch and hoping for the best. Here's a little more info on what needs to happen before we'll know when we can open.

We'll be delivering this annoucement and other important information in a number of different ways this season, and you can now choose the method or methods that suit you best. Just go to www.brundage.com/alerts to make sure we stay in touch.
 
In the meantime, we thought we'd take this opportunity to share some of the the things we're most excited about as we head into the 2009/2010 Winter Season. Brundage Mountain is focusing on adding value to your mountain experience by improving conditions on the slopes, adding conveniences for your busy family, and helping you create memories through our robust event calendar. Please read on and share our excitement. We hope to see you all very soon!

Big Things are Happening at Brundage Mountain
Slope improvements create better fall lines, more powder lines, and get you straight to the lift (where there are rarely lines).

powder boarder Engen Extended
 
The most noteworthy change is the extension of one of our most popular intermediate runs, Engen. The bottom of the run has been extended right down to the bottom of the Centennial and Bear Chairs, so you'll no longer need to 'ride a flat' to get from top to bottom of that part of the mountain!
 
Divine Powder Lines
 
Our growing crew of tree skiers and riders are sure to notice the extensive brush cutting that took place over the summer. More than 15 acres of brush has been cleared in areas around Meadow Bowl, Ranger Trail, and between the Blue Bird Quad and Alpine. That means those powder lines will be longer, wider and more spectacular than ever before!

Brundage SnoCat Adventures
More accessible, more affordable

Slab Butte
With 19,000 acres of spectacular backcountry to explore, we've earned a reputation for offering some of the most expansive terrain in the Lower 48. But don't let that intimidate you - Brundage Mountain CatSki Adventures offers also some of the most accessible and affordable SnoCat skiing and riding anywhere.
 
This season, our guides are pioneering five new roads which will give access to even more great turns.

We're also re-organizing and re-pricing our trips. A full-day adventure is now just $239 plus tax.

You can rent an entire SnoCat for a whole day, and hand pick the people you'll share this unforgettable adventure with. That red-carpet experience now costs just $1600 plus tax. 
 
So give our SnoCat Adventures a try, and cross one more thing off that bucket list!
Take a Break in Comfort
Base area improvements focus on convenience, comfort and sustainabilty

new paint lodge When you're off the slopes, you'll notice the improvements to the main lodge immediately. The new paint job is the most obvious change. We choose natural tones to blend in with the mountain scenery. We've also replaced the roof with an environmentally friendly new surface. Inside, improvements to Smoky's Pub will not only create a more comfortable, cozy atmosphere, but should help improve the speed and quality of our service.

tiny toilet
If you need to take a break while you're ON the mountain, we've built two new log cabin outhouses to give you a little more room and comfort during your pit stops. One is located at the base of the Blue Bird Quad, the other is near the bottom of the Bear Chair.
