A-Basin Ski & Snowboard Trail Maps

A-Basin Frontside + The Beavers

Insider Tips

  • DRONES ARE NOT PERMITTED AT A-BASIN. This is a US Forest Service rule and is for everyone's safety. There are no exceptions -- including for personal or news media use -- without prior written consent from both the USFS and A-Basin, and payment of the required fee.  

  • Molly Hogan is our learning area / ski school hill. Find it adjacent Mountain Goat Plaza (base area) at the bottom of the main lifts. Check out our lesson offerings.

  • The frontside greens and blues generally get steeper farther to skier's left. (EX: Sundance is steeper than Wrangler; West Wall is steeper than Powerline)

  • The blue runs in The Beavers (Loafer, Davis) are the most difficult blue runs on the mountain due to their pitch, length, variability, and snow conditions. 

  • Visit our Terrain Status page for the most current info on what runs are open at A-Basin.

  • Click here to learn about our uphill access routes and times.

  • Scroll down for a detailed map of the East Wall hike-to routes.

  • Take virtual tours of all of our frontside terrain by visiting our Mountain Areas page.

Montezuma Bowl (A-Basin Backside)

Insider Tips

  • The backside ski and snowboard trails are intermediate to expert.

  • Expert skiers and riders seeking untracked powder should explore the EX terrain below the lift. The return hike is only about 10 minutes.

  • Check out a virtual tour of Montezuma Bowl and the A-Basin backside trails.

Important East Wall Access Info

  • Experts, only. Enter through open gates only (do not duck ropes; you will lose your pass)

  • Observe all signage and closures

  • Rescue from this area can be difficult and time-consuming

  • Do not hike above the traverse except in designated areas (Willies Wide, Tree Chutes). See these bootpack routes on the main frontside map above

  • Expect hidden and unmarked obstacles, variable conditions, as with all expert terrain

  • This terrain is conditions-dependent and requires a significant amount of mitigation work. It can open/close at any time. 

  • Marjorie Bowl is NOT part of Arapahoe Basin; it is outside our boundaries.

  • Check out a virtual tour of the East Wall, guided by one of our ski patrollers.

Base Area + Parking

Our base area is compact and simple to navigate. Check out the map below before you go, or just explore on your own! Everything is a short walk from your car and from the lifts.

Find the new lift ticket pickup kiosks on the plaza-facing side of the season pass office, under the stage overhang. The base area is also where you can find our rental shop, dining areas, first aid, and more.
