Ski season is here and while many are already hitting the slopes, down at Bob Greenwood's Ski Haus business is booming.
"We haven't seen this kind of excitement in a long time," says Greenwood Ski Haus Owner, JeffLewerenz.
With snow, already on the ground.
"In the last week and a half we have seen a lot more foot traffic,"Lewerenz says.
We even picked the brain of the man himself, Boise ski royalty, Bob Greenwood.
"I think this is going to be a winter to top all winters, and I hope its this year," says Bob Greenwood.
"We moved from Florida and there is no beach, so we decided to ski instead, and they love it, it's what they want for Christmas every year," says local skiier Teri Smith.
We headed up the hill to Bogus Basin, to see if the ski season excitement stretched all the way up the mountain.
"Super happy to be here, conditions are great, cold smoke up here, but I wanna thank my boss for letting me come up here today and we are having a great time," says local skiier Andrew Deluce.
While others tell me they are especially thankful for mother nature this season,
"I'm super excited that we are not just skiing on snow from the snow blowers and that we have a huge mix in of nice powder and nice packed snow from this nice storm, usually in the season all you get is man made snow so I can't complain at all," says local snowboarder Kadon Hansen.
"It's awesome, we are sophomores so 2 two years ago they had the great season and we missed it because we weren't here but now it looks like we having a promising season and i'm very excited. yeah we are stoked," says local snowboarder Tate Kasner.
And if you haven't thought about enjoying our many powder filled ski resorts, Boise's own Bob Greenwood of Greenwood Ski Haus says now is the time.
"Go skiing...love skiing... that was the song that used to play every winter when i first opened the shop," Bob Greenwood says.
Bogus Basin opens its mountains for full operations tomorrow, while Brundage and Tamarack opened their operations earlier today.
