"Two More Months of Skiing in Summit County"

As all the mountains close down for the season; don’t fret, because Arapahoe Basin plans on staying open for as long as the conditions are safe for skiing. As of today, A-Basin is still 100 percent open and skiers are still enjoying fresh powder from time to time. With what seems to be the never ending ski season, the Basin has had 63 inches of snow in February, which is 20 inches more than last season. The solid base will give spring skiing lovers a month or two more of days in the sun.

Although conditions may not be the best, riders find other ways to stay entertained while at A-Basin. "The Beach” has become one of the greatest parts about visiting summit county. Right between the parking lot and the bottom of the lifts, locals set up grills, lawn chairs, and tons of food for an all day party on the mountain.

A-Basin is expected to stay open till at least mid-June. So if you’re not ready to put your ski gear away for the season, hit up the Basin for one more day of fun in the sun.
