From December 6 through December 12, 2025 kids will get up to 7 free lift tickets (one per child per day) to be used that week! No catch, no purchase required, just good vibes and the chance to help your kids fall in love with something new. Call it a "family field trip" or "life lessons on snow." Either way, your child will learn something way different that what's on their worksheets. And don't worry, we won't tell their teachers.
To reserve these tickets, head to "daily lift tickets," toggle to 12 & Under kid's Ski Free, and select your days.
BUT WAIT! There's more:
Little rippers who visit during Kids Ski Free Week will earn 20% off an additional group lesson to be used at a later date during the 25/26 winter season. Check out all our lesson offerings and deals here. Plus, get a complimentary pair of kid's Smith goggles with a purchase of a kid's Smith helmet in Arapahoe Sports all week long.
Why learn at Arapahoe Basin? Molly Hogan is easy to access from the free parking lots; our atmosphere is always laid-back and welcoming; and the deck of the 6th Alley Bar & Grill is the perfect place to celebrate your success with a delicious lunch. If you learn to ski or ride here, you can ski or ride anywhere! A-Basin group lessons are for ages 3 and up with small group sizes for personalized instruction and are perfect for anyone who has never been on skis or a snowboard, or has been out once or twice and wants more practice to be comfortable beyond the learning hill. This is a great option for a beginner or someone who is just getting started on mountain greens.
