Vertigals

VertiGals are a group of women who meet Wednesday mornings at 9:45am in front of the Simplot Lodge ski check, January through March, to ski or snowboard and have fun!

There is no cost involved to join VertiGals, but a lift ticket or Bogus Basin season pass is needed. This is a social group, not a group lesson.

IMPORTANT: IF YOU SIGNED A RELEASE LAST SEASON (2008-2009) YOU WILL NOT NEED TO SIGN A NEW ONE THIS YEAR. ONLY NEWCOMERS OR THOSE WHO DID NOT PARTICIPATE IN VERTIGALS LAST SEASON WILL NEED TO COMPLETE A RELEASE FORM THIS YEAR.

There are 12 volunteer leaders (these ladies are not instructors) who know their way around the mountain and ski at ability levels intermediate to expert, on trail and off. You can choose to join any one of these groups for the day, depending upon your own ability and comfort level with the terrain and conditions. Look for the leaders in their VertiGal logo jackets, with badges designating their group level.

All participants should be at least competent on the Green and Blue runs serviced by the chairlifts on the front side of the mountain. What is my ability level?

Alpine Skiing/Snowboarding begins on Wednesday, January 06, 2010. Meet at 9:45 outside in front of the Simplot Lodge ski check, ready to go! We will take a few minutes to organize the groups, and depart from the base area at 10:00 A.M. PLEASE BE ONTIME … the groups need to have a full morning of fun! We will have our potluck lunch on our opening day (see the calendar, below). Afternoon skiing is optional and on your own.

Dates for Winter 2009/2010:
January 06 - March 17
