爱达荷州博伊西市博格斯盆地滑雪场:封存积雪六成熬过夏天 目标11月21日开季

博伊西市郊的博格斯盆地滑雪场11月11日披露,今夏封存的一大堆积雪经受住了夏季高温,约六成得以保存,将用于为冬季运营做准备。滑雪场介绍,这堆积雪自今年3月起一直覆盖在隔热板下,即使隔热层外表面温度高达118华氏度,仍有约六成留存。博格斯盆地采用的是芬兰雪存系统Snow Secure,2025年成为全美首家试点该技术的滑雪场。
工作人员已于11月10日移除了教练角下段的隔热板,保存下来的积雪将用于铺设雪道。滑雪场目前计划于11月21日星期六开始冬季运营,但具体日期仍取决于天气和雪况,届时开放哪些缆车和雪道尚未确认。作为一家非营利滑雪场,博格斯盆地表示,雪存技术有助于在暖冬提前备雪、保障雪季开局。
Bogus Basin to Open Season Early Using Snow Saved From Last Winter
Bogus Basin ski area near Boise, in Boise County, Idaho, plans to open its season early using snow it saved from last winter under a Finnish Snow Secure storage system, Unofficial Networks reported Nov. 11. The stored snow pile measures about 35 by 80 by 330 feet, and roughly 60 percent of it survived the summer despite surface temperatures reaching 118 degrees on the pile's cover.
Bogus Basin was the first ski area in the United States to trial the system in 2025. The resort has tentatively set its opening day for Nov. 21, weeks ahead of a typical start, and said the stored snow will guarantee a base for early-season runs even if natural snowfall is slow to arrive.
