Arapahoe Basin Will Re-Open Tomorrow May 27
Most years, the skiing at Arapahoe Basin, Colorado just starts to get really fun in the end of May. With other ski resorts closed and snow line creeping ever higher in the backcountry, the party really gets started at A Bay, with slushy spring laps and post-ski tailgate parties at the Beach. Well, if you thought you were going to have to miss out on the fun this year, you’re in luck. Arapahoe Basin announced they will re-open (with some strict rules in place) tomorrow, May 27. It might not be the same experience as in years past, but it's lift-served skiing in Colorado.
A-Basin will only allow 600 skiers and riders on the mountain who have made a reservation beforehand. Those can be made by existing passholders online, or by purchasing a one-day lift ticket online.
From A-Basin:
Reservations are limited and can ONLY be made online. They open at 7:00 p.m. each day and are expected to go fast. You can only book a ski day that is 36 hours (2 days) out, and you can only reserve one day at a time. For example, if you want to visit on Sunday, you need to make your reservation at 7:00 p.m. MDT on Friday (i.e. 36 hours in advance).
- NO RESERVATION, NO ACCESS. A limited number of people will be admitted daily. Do not come if you do not have a pre-booked reservation.
- There are only two ways to ski / ride A-Basin during this time: pre-book a reservation with a valid pass or purchase a day ticket in advance. Can only be done online. See below.
