A-Basin is a difficult mountain but has a lot to offer if you're up for the challenge/have the skill level. Unfortunately during my visit, there wasn't a lot of snow, but I know this mountain would be amazing if they got some inches. Didn't seem like there was a bunch around, but I would definitely return.

One of the best ski resorts around. Not only are their excellent trails, but the views are impeccable and the general vibe of the mountain is perfect.

This review is pre-Ikon buy out A group of beginner-intermediate skiers and snowboarders (with one 1.5 yr old baby) grabbed the discount three day pass offered back in 2023. Every single interaction we had with staff, from lifties to parking guides, to restaurant staff, to rental staff, were SO kind. Everyone was genuine and it felt VERY mom and pop. They let us hang out with the baby in a less used space so mom and baby could have a quiet space. I could not say enough about interactions. Skiing was a little steep for my skill level at the time but it was my first time doing tree runs and it was peaceful and beautiful. I really enjoyed this place. Hope Ikon takeover hasnt changed it.

A-Basin is a solid resort with a cool community surrounding it. The lift lines are never too long, the season runs late due to the high altitude north facing slope and it's one of the cheapest options in the area. Would definitely recommend to anyone at any level

Highly recommend A-basi, laid back atmosphere and great variety of runs for skiers of all levels. Also as a plus the mountain is typically open late into May or June due to the high elevation.

The star system doesn't do this resort justice. It's fantastic I'm every way for anyone who loves skiing. Incredible terrain, awesome attitude and awesome riders everywhere. If you love skiing, Arapahoe basin is on the shortlist of places that could be considered Mecca.
