Arapahoe Basin Ski Area Reviews & Tips (77)
It has been about twelve years since I skied "The Legend". Going back was partly nostalgic and partly rediscovery. The first time I skied A-Basin I was astonished to find incredible powder skiing in the midst of May. This local area, with all its colorful people, has beach party fun-in-sun tailgaters at the bottom and a rugged set of peaks and trails with a more arctic feel as you get to the top. My suggestion is to watch the snow and weather reports. On Saturday the snow went from crusty, almost icy, to pasty, making skis stick to oatmeal consistency snow. A-Basin stretches the ski season to an extraordinary degree: It can be spring conditions or prime conditions depending on the day. They often stay open into June, but your prospects start to melt away with each passing weak. Bring plenty of sunscreen and watch out for the racers who do a straight shoot down the mountain.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written May 07 2013 - 04:37 PM
A-Basin has a cool vibe and is a beautiful mountain, but, beginners and weak intermediate skiers will be challenged here. I had quite a lot of trouble on even some of the blue square trails here. Most all of the blue square trails started out very steep and led into sections that were ungroomed which caused me to fall quite a few times.
To ski into the back bowl, the Montezuma Bowl, you have to take black diamond trails which I was 100% not comfortable doing after falling all morning on those steep square trails.
For beginners, I'd recommend trying it out on powder day when the snow is more forgiving.

Not a mountain for a first timer! Epic Mountain without a snob vibe. True lovers of open country surround A-Basin!

Been skiing A-Basin for 37 years, my favorite Colorado resort !

Hit the beach in the spring! It's a blast.

You must huck the Cornice! Great fun and great photo ops!!! delicious food at mid-mountain lodge!!!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Apr 03 2013 - 05:48 PM
Family day and found something for everyone. The "non resort" feel has it's appeal, and the skiing and zero lift lines are awesome. Some like Montezuma, but I love Pallavicini and all the over to Gauthier.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 17 2013 - 01:22 PM
This is my favorite place to ski in Summit county. Its a ski area, not a ski resort. Got an old school feel, not all "familied" out like the big resorts. Usually pretty windy up top, so be prepared. The front side is good, but the gem is the back bowl. Keep an eye on the snow report and check out A-Basin when Montezuma Bowl is open. Lift ticket prices are great.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Feb 19 2013 - 08:52 AM
Arapahoe Basin (A-Basin) is not for a beginner rider. There are only a few manageable runs for beginners. For intermediate riders the options are a lot better, but it still takes an advanced rider to really appreciate this place. The place was beautiful and there was plenty of snow but I felt challenged most of the day. It is close to Denver so that is a plus.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Feb 13 2013 - 04:22 PM
Great resort if you want to do CO the Colorado way. Without any of the glitz and glam of Aspen or Vail, prices are low all around. All new Black Mountain Lodge offers great food at the lowest possible prices anywhere around.
Its friendly staff and ample terrain, along with the short/fast lines any day of the week make it a destination I will revisit multiple times in the future, regardless of snow conditions.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Feb 10 2013 - 12:58 PM
The most awesome time maybe ever! I think there was maybe 100 skiers on the whole mountain, probably because Sunday was too warm and just corn snow. But Tuesday we got like 6 inches of snow in the afternoon, and it was empty! Kept meeting the same people over and over. No wait at all on the lift. Only downside was that Montezuma was closed--you could go over the edge and ski, but... you would have to climb back 2000 feet to get to the front side of the mountain. Didn't sound smart to me LOL Definitely wil go back Wednesday during the break at our conference in Keystone. Accuweather predictes 8-16" of snow late late Tuesday through early Thursday morning. Awesome! A-basin rocks! Good IPA in the bar, too, and they give you a GLASS glass, not one of those damn plastic beer cups.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Jan 29 2013 - 03:17 PM
This week was my fifth time skiing (I used to snowboard before) and my first time at Arapahoe. They hadn't had any snow in about two weeks so I was dubious of how the conditions would be, but the grooming was sufficient to have some good runs with minimal ice.
Before I went I read a bunch of reviews and was worried about how steep it was going to be for my beginner self, but it wasn't impossibly steep (although it felt steeper due to the lack of powder) and I had a lot of fun!! There were very few people out - definitely less touristy than the other runs in the area.
I did have some altitude dizziness/headache because of how high Arapahoe is - it's the highest slope around peaking at around 12,500 feet. And it's definitely colder at the top of the runs than the base, so dress warmly even if it feels warm at the bottom! :)
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Jan 25 2013 - 03:54 PM
my favorite place to go in my 3 pak pass(brek/keystone)... mid and late season the best snow in summit county- 1000 ft higher. and when theres hardly any parking left, get on the mt and still not as crowded as bigger resorts. ride snow up to your car, grill out for lunch, and hardly any walk back to the lift. people, atmosphere, and price cant be beat
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 06 2012 - 08:28 AM
Skiied A-Basin Nov. 29th. There weren't too many runs open, but it was pretty much empty. Had a great time. Definitely recommend checking it out.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 03 2012 - 12:37 PM
Light dusting of snow the day (Apr 27th) we went, definitely weren't expecting anything but sunshine and slush....spots were icy in places though...just got word the bay is closing this weekend...sad but kind of necessary due to the lack of snow this season. Overall great value and good service. Hopefully next year we'll get more snow and we can ski in July again
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written May 01 2012 - 10:02 PM
I had great time on April 29-30, even they had only 3" new snow, and just 2 lifts operating, still makes it better skiing experience than east coast, where you more likely will have only ice. I like to go again in June if any luck that resort will be open
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written May 01 2012 - 02:51 PM
It could have been better. It was nice in the morning due to the wind keeping the snow from melting. I was like slurpie at the bottom after 1 pm. I wish I would have went on Sunday rather than Saturday since the fresh 8 inches would have helped A-basin's and my cause. My daughter learned to ski for the first time and she is 4. I was glad the lift ticket was only $49.

This was my first experience with Liftopia. I couldn't have asked for a better outcome. My (personalized) ticket was waiting for me at the service desk - no problem at all - and a great price!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Apr 11 2012 - 02:07 PM
Experienced 6" powder snow today at the Basin. Super Skiing! It was easy even for beginners.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Apr 03 2012 - 03:06 PM
The blues were more challenging than other places, especially towards the bottom. Lots of options for blues at the top. I loved skiing here and there was never a long wait for lifts!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 17 2012 - 12:45 PM
The views at A-Basin are unbelievable! Great, long runs. Montezuma Bowl was open (back side) and I was flying down Columbine. This mountain will stretch your skiing ability. Love the Black Mountain Lodge located mid-mountain.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 08 2012 - 05:52 AM
Great unknown ski mountain.....rocks when the weather is nice. If you buy through Liftopia don't pick your tickets up at ticket window. Pick them up next door at customer service.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 07 2012 - 05:30 PM
Awesome mountain! The way it should be: short lines, long runs, lots of terrain, great people. Reminds me of a 'locals' bar, for lack of a better term, good vibes and never too crowded. When you're done you've gotta try the bacon bloody mary at the bar, best in the world!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Feb 29 2012 - 01:43 PM
We loved Arapahoe - as green to moderate blue skiers! The greens are short runs and at first we thought too short but enjoyed the quick lift ride, convenient breaks, finding each other easily and loved the wide open spaces of Wrangler! A great place for people to learn.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Feb 17 2012 - 08:39 PM
Great spot, just went for the first time with local friends. I also skied Copper and Keystone the same weekend and A-Basin was by far my favorite. The terrain is more advanced so beginner and intermediate skiers might be overwhelmed. This place is a must stop for anyone who wants their mountain to be about the terrain and not the spa and swimming pool. The longest lift line I waited in on a Sunday was for first chair!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Feb 14 2012 - 02:24 PM
Was our first time here and only 3rd time snowboarding. Was a little tougher than we were expecting but I love a challenge! Had just snowed the night before but it was still a little compacted. I would go again but make sure to bring your own food when you go!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Jan 19 2012 - 04:57 PM
First timers at A-Basin. loved the laid back vibe of this resort. We skied 12/18 and 12/21. with little snow there were very few trails open. This is a VERY weather dependent resort with little snowmaking capacity. Without enough snow to open the legendary steeps there is little left to do here. We regretted buying a two day pass in advance -my kids got grumpy and bored with the 3/4 battered blues that were open. My tip-be sure there is lots of snow and open terrain before buying tickets,especially in early season.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 25 2011 - 01:10 AM
We love A-basin, but there were no black trails open on 12/15/2011. Still, we had a good time as a warm up. Copper the next day was better, but still only a few blacks and bump trails. Vail on 12/17, especially, and Beaver Creek on 12/18 had lots of terrain open, with quite a few steeps and bumps. Still, no back bowls yet, but this is an off year. Vail was the best overall, no complaints except the $108 lift ticket.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 19 2011 - 07:15 PM
Good for lack of snow.. Stay to the edges and the push.. the middle is good in the am but towards the afternoon all the middle turns icey....
Good day overall... Lots of newer skiers and boarders which is GREAT!!!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 18 2011 - 01:22 PM
Great day with friends. Not the easiest mountain but still fun, esp for the price. Will definitely go again this year!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 04 2011 - 02:32 PM
A-Basin is one of my favorite spots. The terrain is a little more challenging but can lead to an excellent day on the slopes. The staff are very friendly and the resort has an old-school feel. I like it because it is not the typical Keystone or Breckenridge where the resorts are huge. The rates are very reasonable too. Definitely worth your time checking out!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Nov 28 2011 - 06:28 PM
This is not a place for a beginner skier early in the season when there arent many runs open and minimal powder making the "easy" runs slippery and scary. I didn't listen when other more experienced skiers said the hill was "really steep". Try the steepest blues at keystone or breck if you are just starting out first.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Nov 27 2011 - 02:56 PM
One of the few resorts that stay open until June!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Jun 07 2011 - 04:16 PM
Amazing Skiing. Visited in early March 2011 for two days. I felt this was real Colorado skiing. They had everything from easy to you "must be crazy" slopes. High altitude took some getting use to. I would recomend to any mid to advance skier. Take the shuttle up the mountain as snow fall seemed unpredictable.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written May 20 2011 - 09:40 AM
Been skiing The Legend since the mid-80's, never thought I had it in me to do the North Pole hike, just drooled looking at those chutes all these years. On 4/25/11, at 52 yrs old, I did it for the 1st time - was way bummed East Wall was closed on 4/26, avalanches all over the place with all the new snow. But I can't wait to do that hike again. If you're a strong skier, don't let the climb fool you, go for it.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Apr 29 2011 - 10:43 AM
Great place and great staff...just wish they didn't close so early! Also, almost nothing in the shop was on sale and I was there at the end of the season (April 16&17). Part of my plan was to get some good deals on gear and was surprised to see nothing but a few junkie baseball hats on sale.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Apr 19 2011 - 06:28 AM
In years gone by, we've been to Steamboat, all the Utah resorts, Mont Tremblant, etc. etc. This trip, we had a great day at Breck and then enjoyed the best two days ever at A-Basin on Apr 5 & 6.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Apr 07 2011 - 02:07 PM
Get to the M-bowl and enjoy every minute. Take the Goat trail over to the glades (Bierstadt and others, plenty of powder). If you don't mind a short 'breath-taking' hike along the cornice ridge, you'll find the drop-ins on EX terrain (Jump, Schauffler and End-Zone) are outstanding. Skiing at A-Basin was fantastic this week -- great staff, be nice to them in return!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Apr 06 2011 - 07:24 PM
Ski and enjoy the best spring skiing- even the flat light, wild wind, and powder snow of 31st of March was wonderful. Tip: In flat-light if your are gaining speed, you are headed down!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Apr 06 2011 - 01:20 PM
Great time skiing A-Basin for 2 days. I love the place. They do need a fast high capacity lift up top. And they closed the top lifts at 3:30 which was too early because the top is the best part of the place.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 31 2011 - 04:59 PM
We skiied A Basin after two days at Winter Park. The conditions were perfect, no lift lines. The best part of A Basin is the wonderful staff. We had problems with our rental car, and they went out of our way to help us. Best experience of our trip.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 31 2011 - 08:15 AM
Great skiing with great powder for a great price. Only caveat: the ride up can take much longer than the ride down on all the lifts. They need at least one express lift up top.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 31 2011 - 08:10 AM
I was there on March 23rd and the snow conditions were just like skiing during the winter months. There was lots of powder!! There were no crowds and no long lift lines. All the runs were open and could not have had a better day of skiing. I would recommend skiing A-basin if you want to avoid lots of noise and crowds.
Very pleased with liftopia and picking up the tickets was easy!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 28 2011 - 12:58 PM
The price was great compared to Breckenridge. We were there on 3-21 and the morning was fantastic. The wind started howling in the afternoon and they had to shut down the upper lifts so the upper half of the mountain wasn't available which made the lower half more crowded. Arapahoe is geared more to intermediate and advanced. We were able to park close and ate our lunch at the tables.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 24 2011 - 08:20 AM
GREAT day on the 18th! Fresh snow from the night before. As an advanced beginner snowboarder, it was awesome conditions. The powder was very forgiving of my limited snowboarding abilities. A little crowded as the day wore on, mostly due to Spring Breakers. Suggest getting there early and get all your runs in by 1 or 2. Enjoy a nice lunch at either lodge and then make your way home. Traffic to and from A-Basin was more than reasonable but again, start early. You never know when a bunch of 18 wheelers will get bogged down on the 70. A-Basin is slowly but surely becoming one of my favorite places. Everyone that works there is friendly and helpful.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 20 2011 - 03:22 PM
first time I've visited everything I ever wanted in a ski resort but no more 1. arrive early to park by pali = easy lunch access. 2. picnic lunch (see #1) 3. mountain goat traverse to elk meadow great way to get an intermediate skiers toes wet into B/C skiing. 4. adv Skiers Bring your Brass ones cause you'll need them. not a resort but a SKI AREA . :)
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 15 2011 - 08:13 PM
We went on a Tuesday and it felt like the mountain was ours. The people at the lifts were great to interact with and the snow was great!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 11 2011 - 04:04 PM
AMAZING.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 08 2011 - 02:08 PM
The new quad lift makes A-Basin that much better! Avoid the crowds at the base lodge and try the renovated Black Mountain Lodge (mid-mountain). Had a super fun day!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 08 2011 - 08:36 AM
Just returned from a trip that took us to Keystone, Breckenridge, Copper, A-Basin and Vail. Arapaho Basin was our favorite by far. No need to go to Alps to get great scenery. Coming from 36 ft above sea level, stayed one day in Denver before heading to the mountains, no ill effects besides minor shortness of breath during the first two days.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 07 2011 - 07:20 AM
Palavachini is tons of fun, park near the lifts and you can tailgate!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Mar 02 2011 - 06:03 PM
I came across your website a few weeks ago while planning our annual ski vacation. This year it was Colorado.
Well, we just got back last night and I wanted to pass on a big THANK YOU! Your website is awesome! It made planning a road trip to multiple resorts easy and the deals were greatly appreciated. Liftopia.com is my new favourite website and I've been letting everyone know about it. Keep up the great work!
Thanks again!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Feb 15 2011 - 03:06 PM
Awesome!!
A-Basin was very quick, had my ticket all printed and ready before we
arrived.
Thanks so much!

Arrived Saturday 2/5/11 and because of a canceled jet blue flight my liftopia start date was two days off. the staff at A-basin was extremely helpful and despite being two days late a short wait of 5 mins and they produced my lift ticket. Thanks A-basin and Liftopia.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Feb 09 2011 - 08:09 AM
Buy your lift ticket here. Great skiing for the price!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Feb 01 2011 - 02:24 PM
Tons of powder, great runs, no crowd. Couldn't ask for a better two days! Not a ton of beginner runs, but lots of advanced terrain.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Jan 24 2011 - 12:18 PM
Pick up liftopia tickets in the little office next to the A-fram, not the ticket window. Very fast and convenient. MAKE SURE they give you the right day's tickets for the kids - they gave us Sunday's on Saturday, and it didn't work. Lift attendents had to sort it out. Ski are is awesome if you are a double black skier. Spend the day at Montezuema bowl. Stop at Subway in Georgetown on the way up 70, then eat luch at the top, in the warming hut -- no crowds, great view.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Jan 18 2011 - 08:58 PM
This was my first snowboarding trip and I had a blast. A-Basin was great. The weather was perfect the first day and windy the next day but not too terrible. I was learning how to snowboard and enjoyed some of the wide open runs that allowed me plenty of room. I didn't have a problem with the altitude as I am from Kansas City but I made sure to drink tons of water. I would have liked more green runs though. I didn't feel comfortable moving up to a blue by the end of the second day. It was a little crowded on MLK weekend but I imagine not near as crowded as some of the resorts. The staff was friendly. Lunch was more expensive than I would have liked so the second day I just munched on Clif bars and water. We were staying in Denver so the worse part of the trip was the commute to and from Denver, traffic was horrible.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Jan 18 2011 - 08:16 AM
In a word... A-Basin is awesome. I've been coming to A-Basin for 25+ years, and it's still the best in my opinion. No crowds, mostly locals, great staff and even better terrain and runs. Montezuma Bowl was a great addition and, as always, the East Wall and Pallavacini don't disappoint! The only negative can be the upper mountain can become uncased in clouds/fog/snow making it VERY difficult to differentiate up, down and sideways.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Jan 15 2011 - 04:19 PM
A-Basin is unlike any other mountain in Colorado. I feel like its one of the only remaining ski areas that focuses on skiing and snowboarding rather than how to take your money. Unlike other mountains where whole areas are flagged off and runs force you in a single direction without fun variation, A-Basin lets you ski and board ANYWHERE. The snow is usually exceptional and the high altitude provides the best view in the area. The discounted lift tickets from Liftopia leaves you no reason to not try this great mountain.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Jan 08 2011 - 12:35 PM
We went to A Basin for the low Liftopia price and close distance to where we planned to spend the rest of the week. We liked getting single day passes, and the runs were enjoyable. Overall, the family had a great time for a one-day trip there. We all preferred the longer runs of bigger places for the rest of the week, but A Basin was a great place to warm up the skills and see a change of scenery for our 1 week per year trips.
We are are flatlanders (MO river basin), and I got light headed/dizzy. The older kids had severe headaches at the end of the day, the youngest was ready to puke. That went away overnight, though they did get lighter headaches at the other slopes as well. Bring aspirin if you are not accustomed to the altitude.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Jan 07 2011 - 08:48 PM
Liftopia was the way to go for purchasing A Basin lift tickets. The discount was good and the ticket was easy to redeem. The staff were pleasant and the mountain was great!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Jan 03 2011 - 11:01 AM
For low-altitude flatlander families, be aware that the 10,700 foot altitude of the base area could cause altitude sickness, which disrupted our recent trip there. Nearby Keystone starts out 1400 feet lower, which may be less likely to cause problems.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 29 2010 - 09:19 AM
We had a wonderful time. Snow was great.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 23 2010 - 07:36 AM
Bring your snowboard and skis. You can switch out gear easily at lunch and work on both skill sets. Parking lot is right next to the lift.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 21 2010 - 05:05 PM
I love A-basin. They have some excellent freestyle terrain including trees, cliffs and rocks. What more could you ask for? Plus, it isn't overrun with tourists. Nothing ruins your day quicker than being run down by some foreign, fruit-booter learning to ski.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 20 2010 - 07:05 PM
The new Black Mountain quad chair that replaced the old slow double for access to the majority of A-Basin's runs, makes skiing the greens and blues a lot more enjoyable--because the ride time is less than half what it was before. We yo-yo'd that lift about a dozen times, and enjoyed great groomed snow on all the lower trails.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 19 2010 - 08:01 AM
This is the best vehicle to buy lift tix. I didnt have internet access the next day and had to pay full fare, which was $10 more. Rip off to buy full fare, buy it HERE!!! Plus the folks at guest services were psyched to be a part of Liftopia Network and were very friendly and helpful!!!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 13 2010 - 03:44 PM
We went up last Sunday and had a blast. Great conditions - no too cold, partly cloudy and the slopes were great. Still getting the hang of the snowboard and Arapahoe Basin has good, challenging green and blue slopes for the beginners as well as the more advanced.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Dec 08 2010 - 06:16 AM
Blue skies, little wind and enough snow to enjoy the whole day from top to bottom.

Montezuma Bowl just opened today and it skied great! Gotta love new terrain - groomers & moguls!
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Feb 24 2010 - 11:21 AM
A-Basin is great for the beginners and the terrain is good for advanced skiers/boarders. I enjoy going up each season and I have skiied other resorts this one is priced better but not as hard of terrain. Crowds are good to not too many people during the week.

Cant wait to ski Arapahoe Basin this year! I went for the first time last year while we were in Keystone for a week, much more rustic feeling, but a nice change of pace.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Oct 02 2009 - 06:29 PM
Scott- It takes about 7-10 minutes top to bottom. Depending on how fast you ski.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Nov 24 2008 - 08:13 AM
Hey, I know not much is open but from top to bottom how long would that take? I'm going to try to get out there thanksgiving week and just trying to get some info on how much is open.
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area review written Nov 19 2008 - 06:35 PM
I cant believe I skied in October! We were out at A-Basin yesterday, and believe it or not the snow was great. Granted, they only had one or two trails open, the coverage was still really good and it is awesome to get out early in the season. They had several terrain features open too, which made up for not many trails being rideable.
