The Arapahoe Basin Enduro is a leg-burning, on-mountain event for a good cause. Join your friends and family on April 8, 2026, at Arapahoe Basin for the 37th Annual Enduro, a fundraiser, and 10-hour ski-a-thon on the Pali Lift to benefit a local resident near and dear to A-Basin's heart. All participants will receive a free beer and enjoy a chef-prepared dinner at the end of the day.

Skiing for 10 hours not your thing?  Join us for dinner and the Best Silent Auction in Summit County.  Dinner is from 5-7 PM in the A-frame. 

 

The Enduro is sold out! Spaces still available to join us for the apres party - please do to support a good cause and our community.

 

 

Event Details:

35 teams of two take laps up the Pallavicini Lift and ski or ride down the mountain on designated lines from 7:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., usually without stopping. Check-in starts at 6:00 a.m. in the Guest Services building, with a mandatory participant meeting at 6:30 a.m. in the plaza at the goat statue.

 

The ski day is followed by a dinner and auction. All proceeds go to the event's beneficiary. This is not meant to be a race or competition; there is no official winner. Do what you can, have fun, and feel free to embellish your stories in the 6th Alley!

 

 

This Year's Recipients: 

 

Todd Hanson is a longtime local, devoted Pali head, climber, dog lover, and passionate outdoor enthusiast who has been part of the heart and soul of our A-Basin community for years. Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer last August, Todd has been through the ringer. 

 

Through it all, he continues to face this fight with the same grit, humility, and strength that define him both on and off the mountain. Please consider donating to help ease the financial burden of medical expenses and ongoing care for Todd. 

 

We are also honoring Dave Pickett-Heaps, who tragically lost his life in an avalanche. David was deeply connected to Colorado’s rugged backcountry and embodied the adventurous spirit of the mountains. A skilled backcountry skier and mountain biker, he thrived outdoors—whether skiing powder, paragliding, or simply finding his way through wild places.

 

Dave’s wife, Kaileen, is a beloved part of the A‑Basin community, a longtime Enduro participant, and a devoted A‑Basin skier and employee with a big love for blue heelers, powder and mountain life. Proceeds from this year’s Enduro will help support her and honor Dave’s legacy.
