About Arapahoe Basin
Arapahoe Basin — universally known as A-Basin — sits at the highest base elevation of any ski resort in the United States and regularly operates well into June, with the notorious Beavers parking-lot tailgate party becoming a Colorado ski culture institution as the rest of the state's resorts close for spring. The skiing is serious and uncompromising: steep bowls, exposed ridge skiing, and minimal groomed terrain define a mountain that attracts confident skiers who value high-altitude snow quality and a no-frills, anti-resort atmosphere over groomed amenities. The Montezuma Bowl expansion added significant above-treeline terrain, and the resort's continued independence from the major pass conglomerates gives it a personality that regular visitors guard fiercely. This is not a resort for beginners or those seeking a polished village experience.
