Arapahoe Basin
Arapahoe Basin Ski Area
One of North America's highest ski areas, famous for its steep East Wall and an exceptionally long season. Known as a 'legend.'
The base sits at about 3,286 meters, and the summit rises above 3,900 meters. The runs are steep and the local atmosphere is strong. The East Wall and the Palavicini run are challenges for experts. The season usually lasts until May or even June, and in spring it is a tradition for visitors to barbecue and picnic on the parking lot's 'beach' area. Located near the Continental Divide, it is about 45 minutes from Breckenridge. Strong winds and low temperatures are common, so come well equipped.
