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 17/02

The Left Coast finally gets some good snowfall this week as an atmospheric river – a narrow, dense flow of low pressure – channels precipitation over the Western USA. The PNW will see cool temperatures and a useful freshener of snowfall over Tuesday and Wednesday, as totals increase the further south you move; the Sierras will see around 50cm of snowfall over Tuesday alone, tailing off into Wednesday as temperatures remain cold. This low pressure will then make its way over the Frontier and Teton ranges, bringing steady snowfall across Wednesday and Thursday helping (finally) build a snowpack!

Sun breaks through as the weekend arrives, helping increase the temperatures from bitterly cold to just cold. Things then remain dry.

Over the Ice Coast, temperatures gradually drop over the course of this week as flurries of snowfall sweep the region. Nice snow is then coming on Friday with around 20cm down, before temperatures drop into the weekend as cloud clears to give fine and dry nights.
