 Bogus Basin Mountain Resort today formally re-named the Bogus Creek base area lodge and dedicated it in honor of J. R. Simplot. The main lodge will now be called the J.R. Simplot Lodge.
In 1953, Mr. Simplot purchased the Bogus Basin lifts and other mountain improvements from the Kingscliffe Co. and sold the assets back to the Bogus Basin Recreational Association for $1. According to available history, the assets included a T-Bar to the top of Deer Point, a rope tow or two, a warming hut and some other buildings and sheds. Plus the parking lot that had been built at some expense by M-K (who also built the T-Bar) was part of the deal. A review of available data puts the estimated value of the transaction at approximately $100,000, which equates to about seven times that amount today.(more) http://www.bogusbasin.com/
 Brundage is located 10 miles out of the quaint town of McCall, Idaho making it a great destination resort.
