A-BASIN SKIING AND SNOWBOARDING
Ski Arapahoe Basin
The skiing at Arapahoe Basin is truly legendary. At a summit elevation of 13,050 feet, the Arapahoe Basin boasts the highest skiable terrain in North America. With 360 inches of average snowfall, Arapahoe offers nearly 500 acres of skiable terrain and a trail difficulty rating of 10% beginner, 50% intermediate, 20% advanced and 20% expert. A traverse along the East Wall nearly always will result in finding new powder to ski, while the famous West Wall, with its menacing cornice, provides a spectacular vista while it challenges you to leap off its edge. But perhaps the most-famous run in Colorado is Palavicinni. Formed by a natural avalanche path, it ranks as one of the steepest, longest and most-challenging in North America. Today the Arapahoe Basin Ski Patrol carefully controls the snow to render Palavicinni safe for skiing. Snowboarders flock to Mutha Hucker, the ski area's new state-of-the-art terrain park, which stays open until June each year. Arapahoe Basin just expanded this year by about 80% by adding the Montezuma Bowl. Download Trail Map
