While the NWS has issued a winter storm advisory, A-Basin will open this weekend.
issued by the National Weather Service this weekend bring a bonus: Arapahoe Basin is opening on Sunday, October 29, when heavy snow is predicted.
The area, which is the oldest in Summit County, prides itself on having the longest ski season in the state, and this year is no different. Although it's opening six days later than it did in 2022, the last season lasted until June 4, 2023. "It is official. Arapahoe Basin will open for the season, Sunday, October 29 at 8:30 a.m. with Black Mountain Express and the High Noon trail," wrote Alan Henceroth, A-Basin's chief operating officer, on October 27.
"There is nothing I enjoy more than seeing people have fun skiing and riding. To get open takes an extraordinary amount of work and coordination by all departments and the entire staff. In particular, the snowmakers, the cat drivers, the ski patrol, lift operations and lift maintenance have to shift gears on very short notice and capitalize on ever-changing weather conditions to get the mountain open. They didn't miss a beat this month. Here's to a great season.
