For the first time in 15 years it will cost a little more to ski at Bogus Basin. The $199 season pass is no more. It now costs $229. They go on sale Monday, Feb. 18.

"We need a little extra to pay the bills," Bogus Basin general manager Alan Moore said. "Everything has gone up, from diesel fuel to seasonal labor to operation of the high-speed quads since the $199 pass was introduced," he said. See his Reader's View, in Opinion, A12.
