Arapahoe Basin


Arapahoe Basin is located on the Pacific edge of the Continental Divide and it is one of the highest lift-served ski areas in North America, with a peak lift-served elevation of over 12,000'. With this elevation, A-Basin normally remains open until mid-June and on occasion, even July and August.Majestic mountains surround a natural bowl at the Basin, providing a dramatic setting for skiing and snowboarding above the treeline. The resort is a favorite among skiers and riders who enjoy the warm, sunny days of spring and sometimes even summer skiing.While there are no lodging facilities at A-Basin, accommodations are available at Keystone, six miles west, and a free shuttle bus service is provided between the two areas.

get up to the north pole, second notch and the others that are atop the ridge.  do some threes off palluvuccinni and impress the tourists from the lift....

hit east wall, the garden, and take off them skis and hike.  thats where the goods are.

oh yeah, they made it ALOT bigger.
