With a summit altitude of almost 4000m, snow reliability is almost guaranteed at Arapahoe Basin.

It is regularly first to open each year in October and regularly stays open right through until June, giving access to a compact but very varied ski area. The addition of the Montezuma and Beavers chairlifts in the past few years has hugely expanded the terrain on offer and there’s some great steep skiing to be found when the snow is good.

There’s no accommodation on the hill, but the base lodge is very popular and serves up good food, regularly hosts live music and comes to life in particular on warm spring afternoons. Stay down the valley at nearby Keystone or base yourself a little further away at Breckenridge – there’s a shuttle bus linking all three.

Snow Overview

USA

Updated 28/02

Mild conditions to end the week dominate across most of the Left Coast USA, thanks to a return of high pressure from the Pacific. Things turn quickly, however, over the weekend with a flurry of snow and a sharp drop in temperatures. The freezing line plumets from 3,500m to around 1,000m across the region, bringing daytime highs of -6°C to the PNW over the weekend, and spreading across the Tetons and Frontier ranges into the new week. Snow will fall, too, with around 15-20cm expected across all areas, again starting in the PNW before moving inland.

A bitterly cold weekend for the Ice Coast, with daytime highs of -18°C possible at times. This will see a few flurries of snow, too, to help keep things fresh. Temperatures will warm rapidly into the middle of the week, with positive temperatures and rain possible by Wednesday.
