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 29/04

Generally mild conditions are in store for much of the US Left Coast this week, in our penultimate snow overview of the winter. Bouts of precipitation will move across the whole area, but this will fall as patches of rain rather than snow – that being said, a few flocons can be expected down, most notably in the PNW where around 5cm will open the weekend.

On the Ice Coast, warm temperatures dominate, well into double digits for much of this week. Lots of rain is expected through this coming weekend, before temperatures are expected to fall again.
