THE END‑OF‑DAY THROW‑DOWN: ENDURO APRES PARTY

This might not be the exact Enduro we are use to but that doesn't stop the party! When the chairs stop spinning, the real party kicks off. Slide out of those boots, grab your crew, and roll straight into an evening packed with big vibes, good grub, cold brews, and the best community in the Rockies.

 

Join us for an apres and auction event to raise money for our two recipeients, A-Basin community members in need of a helping hand. Together, we will support, uplift, and celebrate our community! This isn’t just après. This is the Enduro après—where the community shows up big, the energy is unmatched, and every dollar goes straight to supporting two locals who mean the world to this mountain. Reserve your dinner, bring your friends, and let’s make the 37th Annual Enduro one for the books. Learn about past Enduro's here.

Event Details: The Enduro Open

 

The normal ski day has been cancelled due to high temps and low snow.

 

On top of the annual après party and auction benefiting our Enduro recipients, we will be hosting a brand new event. Introducing for the first time ever, The 2026 A-Basin Enduro Open!

 

With Pali closed due to unsafe conditions, we will not be hosting The Enduro ski day as we traditionally would. However, if there’s one truth in this world, it’s that A-Basin never gives up. Call this one a mulligan Typically, we have 35 teams of 2 ski as many laps as possible on Pali. This season, those teams will battle it out with a round of golf on the snow! Teams will tee off at 1:30 PM, course to follow.

 

Not a golfer? Join us for a BBQ at Black Mountain Lodge starting at noon with brats, beers, and a perfect deck for spectating. ALL are welcome to grill out and chill out, gather, and support a great cause all day long.

 

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. Every Day Dave 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.
