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 04/03

A brief flurry of cold and snowy weather moves in over the PNW and proceeds inland over the rest of the Left Coast: around 10-15cm will progress over the PNW on Wednesday, before arriving over the Tetons and Frontiers into Thursday and Friday. This front will bring with it a steady drop in temperatures, helping top up slopes at upper elevations.

Things have now flipped on its head over in New England, where the phenomenal season for the Ice Coast has given way mild, spring-like conditions. Sun will give way to unsettled conditions into this weekend, with flurries of snowfall giving way to rain as the freezing line soars.
