Forecast today: Clear skies
- Max temp: 11.8 °c
- Min temp: 3.2 °c
- Last snowed: Sat 14 Mar
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 17/03
Mild conditions will return across the Left Coast this week and into this weekend, thanks to a “pineapple express” atmospheric river bringing warm air in off the Pacific. Sun will dominate across the region which has seen many resorts shut up shop already for the summer in the wake of a disastrous conditions.
Bitterly cold weather moves in for the Ice Coast this week which will ease as the weekend approaches, and a few flurries of snow move in. A big dump is expected on the weekend as temperatures plummet again with about a foot expected down on Sunday night and into Monday.
