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 remains a gem in Colorado, tire to its roots and still a decent bargain It is the legend for a reason and I really enjoyed my time there

I had fun visiting a friend here. the runs were nice but it was light powder due to being early in the season. Good views too

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.

A Basin is an excellent resort with outstanding terrain. It does not have on site lodging so you must stay somewhere else but that adds to its charm.

I love this mountain, I always make it a point to go every year. The high-speed lifts are fast and the lines feel to move fast because of them, so less time waiting and more time skiing. The Lenawee Express lift leads to tons of blues that are challenging yet entertaining. Some of my favorites are on that peak. Happy Trails!

I love it here. When it snows theres unlimited rocks and cliffs and jumps all around the mountain to play in. It also has limited parking which is nice because theres less people on the mountain. Pali lift is awesome and the resort is steep.
