Please note, Arapahoe Basin does not issue media passes nor provide lift tickets or discounts unrelated to specific assignments. We do not accommodate all requests and need ample notice to get media set up. We do not directly support influencers, bloggers, TikTokers, etc. with passes but we will enjoy and like all of your content.

Commercial photography and videography is not allowed without a U.S. Forest Service permit, prior to written permission from Arapahoe Basin, and payment of a site fee. Please allow a week or more to complete the process. Commercial is defined as anything not strictly for news media. If you are shooting promotional content and material for a company, service, product, or brand you must have permission from both the USFS and A-Basin. Commercial includes any and all photos and videos related to a product and/or service, training videos, nonprofit productions and most other content/material that will be posted to a website, YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, etc.

The use of drones, even for news media purposes, is NOT permitted without prior permission from A-Basin and the US Forest Service. We have a full-time professional photographer/videographer on staff who is A-mazing. We are happy to provide high-rez, high-quality content to news media. Our photographer is an FAA-certified drone pilot and has permission per our operating permit to fly a drone at the ski area. Depending on the circumstance, we may be able to work with you and shoot the footage you need. We will not provide content to commercial enterprises and are not able to respond to individuals requesting photos that were taken of them while they were at A-Basin.

Media outlets are permitted to use A-Basin's webcam images and timelapse videos in print, broadcast and social media, and may also embed these cams on their websites. Please consider these guidelines in return: Credit Arapahoe Basin Ski Area wherever applicable Do not crop out our watermark (especially on social media) Link back to the ski area if you are embedding the cam image in your website
