The Mountain at the Legendary Arapahoe Basin Ski Area

The Legend isn't any ordinary ski mountain; we earned our reputation from decades of pioneering and experience. With a summit elevation of 13,050 feet, visit the Swiss Alps right here in the Colorado Rockies. Set at the base of the Continental Divide on Loveland Pass, A-Basin offers over a hundred expertly carved trails, above timberline bowls and deep powder stashes. Whether you are interested in those groomed cruiser runs or maybe chutes and glades are more your style, the Basin has it! Experience why Arapahoe Basin is called the Legend.

Since 1946 Arapahoe Basin has been serving up a fantastic ride for skiers or riders from the Colorado area as well as the world. A-Basin opened on October 13, 2011 and was one of the first to open nationally. Arapahoe Basin receives over 350 inches of snowfall annually.
