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 10/03

Bitterly cold temperatures across the Left Coast through the beginning of this forecast period, before this freeze will ease as the week reaches its conclusion and the weekend begins. Flurries of snow will also fall on most areas including around 10cm in the Tetons, by far the highest totals in the region. Moving forward, temperatures remain mild with more sun bursting through in many places.

On the ice Coast, extremely mild temperatures take a long walk off a short pier on Wednesday night, with the freezing line dropping from a steady 3,000m to sea level in an instant. This will drop temperatures on Thursday but they will steadily recover towards the end of the week and into the weekend. A few flurries of snow will mov in over weekend evenings, helping freshen up slopes after a period of mild weather.
