Arapahoe Basin
We believe in Sun, Snow and Fun. Our motto is "Ski Above All™." For the past half century snow-sports enthusiasts have been flocking to A-Basin because of its natural attributes.
With a summit elevation of 13,050 feet, A-Basin offers the highest skiable terrain in North America.
At this elevation, the snow falls, the sun shines and the fun abounds.
