Arapahoe Basin


The Legendary Arapahoe Basin Ski Area is nestled along the Continental Divide on the south side of Loveland Pass. A-Basin is usually one of the first ski areas to open for the season, and one of the last to close thanks to its 10,780-foot base elevation. Arapahoe Basin Ski Area opened in 1946 with one tow rope and a $1.25 lift ticket. It now offers more than 1,400 skiable acres, 9 lifts, the longest ski and ride season in Colorado, and some of the highest terrain in North America.

SnoCountry provides the updated snow reports, weather conditions, and mountain information you need for a great day on the snow at Arapahoe Basin.
