EXTENDED: A-Basin Closing Day

We’re not done yet: Closing day has been extended to May 17!  

 

In keeping the title of the longest ski and ride season in Colorado, we decided we weren’t quite done just yet. Here are all the details for our extended season: 

  • We will be closed May 11-14 then reopen Friday-Sunday, May 15-17. 

  • Uphill Access will be open all week long. Fri-Sun, when we are operating, access will be open outside of operating hours only.

  • $39 lift tickets will be available May 15-17. Plus, get your 26/27 A-Basin or Ikon Pass today and start using it as soon as today with Buy Now, Ride Now. 

  • Lifts will spin as usual on this extended weekend from 9 AM - 4 PM on Friday and 8:30 AM - 4 PM on Sat/Sun. 

  • Up to 50% off select items at Arapahoe Sports.

  • Live music in the Base Area from 12:30 - 3:30 PM Saturday & Sunday

    • Saturday - Chris Bauer Band 

    • Sunday - Frisco Funk Collective

 

What’s on the docket? 

Costumes on closing day are not mandatory, but they are highly encouraged! Good vibes, however, are mandatory -- don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.  

 

Make sure to check our Lift & Terrain Status webpage before heading up. Our patrol updates this daily when they do their weather report, so it is the most up-to-date and accurate information about what we have going on each day. Expect terrain on the Front Side via Black Mountain Express and Lenawee to be open and operating. 

 

Spring brings ever-changing conditions (as we saw in real time this past week), from goggle-tans to the occasional storm rolling in; you never really know what you’re going to get. Snow surface conditions can change rapidly, and our patrol is constantly monitoring every part of the mountain. Be prepared and most importantly, respect all signage and closures. 

 

What’s next? 

We will still open for summer operations on July 2 as planned. While we’re stoked to be on snow for so long, extra winter makes us more excited for Not-Winter. Summer pricing increases on July 3, so snag your deals while you can! Check out our new Summer Pass for as low as $209 get nearly a $1,000 value, including: 

  • Entry into our Summer Beer Fest and Oktoberfest 

  • One full day Via Ferrata tour 

  • A bike pass
