Mountain Goat

https://www.arapahoebasin.com/als-blog/mountain-goat/

Published: August 6, 2026 21:45

Some of our Via Ferrata climbers were treated with a mountain goat visit as they summited. It continues to blow me away the way these animals thrive in such a challenging environment. The peaks in the background are Grays (14,275') on the right and Torreys…

East Wall - Via Ferrata

The East Wall is a dramatic looking place, both winter and summer. Starting at the base of the cliffs, our Via Ferrata course climbs to the pinnacle in the upper, center of this photo. Not quite for the faint of heart, the VF is one of A-Basin's most…

From the top of Half Moon, in the foreground there is a great view of mid-mountian including Black Mountain Lodge and the loading station of Lenawee Express. In the background there is an excellent view of the Continental Divide and Loveland Pass. The Half…

Last month at the Colorado Ski Country USA Annual Meeting, Arapahoe Basin's own Javier Pineda was named the 2026 Colorado Instructor of the Year. In addition to being a pillar in our commuity, Javier is a heck of an instructor. More importantly, he reaches…

Up At Arapahoe

https://www.arapahoebasin.com/als-blog/up-at-arapahoe/

Published: July 24, 2026 22:00

Yesterday we had a very good steady rain in the afternoon. This morning I rode Black Mountain Express and walked the "Up At Arapahoe" trail to the Steilhang Hut. The ground was moist and the vegetation was lush. I love a fresh, summer rain at The Basin.…

Rain and Fireweed

The monsoon season is start to get rolling up at The Basin. We have had a few decent rain events, nothing terribly dramatic, but some nice rain. The alpine plants and flowers respond almost immediately. The mountain is greening up and the flowers,…

Crystal Clear

With all the fires burning in Colorado and Utah, it has been quite smoky in Summit County. Yesterday afternoon and evening we received some much appreciated rain. Overnight, the wind shifted more to the Northwest and blew that yucky smoke out of here. We…

Happy July 4th. We are lucky to live and visit such a beautiful place.   Today was a beauty at The Basin. We had all kinds of climbers in the Aerial Adventure Park and the Via Ferrata. I rode Black Mountain Express and hiked to the Summit. It was a great…

Thank You

We closed the ski season down yesterday. It wasn't the best snow year we ever had,  but everyone made the best of it. For me, the last few weekends were especially fun seeing so many people enjoying the snow and The Basin and confirming what our culture…

Closing Weekend

https://www.arapahoebasin.com/als-blog/closing-weekend/

Published: May 14, 2026 18:00

I just did my annual closing weekend interview with Matt Renoux from 9NEWS. I always have fun shooting the breeze with him. One of our niches in the ski world is to stay open as long as we can. To do so, we track snow conditions and weather forecasts…

Another Long Weekend - May 15, 16 and 17

Published: May 9, 2026 17:00

If I were to describe yesterday's ski day, I'd have to call it a beauty. We had more than a foot of snow mid-week. It was a beautiful, bluebird spring day. We re-opened Lenawee Parks. The skiing was great. Our guests had a wonderful day. The vibe was…

May 8, 9 and 10

https://www.arapahoebasin.com/als-blog/may-8-9-and-10/

Published: May 2, 2026 20:30

So I ski down to the bottom of the Lenawee Express and there is a guy playing a tuba and another playing the trombone. It was a brass band. They were just rocking the crowd. That tells me Spring Skiing at The Basin is at its prime. It also tells me we need…

It Keeps Snowing

Published: April 28, 2026 14:30

Winter has a tendency to hang on at The Basin. Just when you start to think it is summer, winter comes back, often in a fury. It is snowing again this morning and we are in for a snowy week.

Snowed All Afternoon

The week is projected to be stormy. Today, we got off to a good start with snow falling most of the afternoon and projected to do so for a few days. At a brief break in the weather, I snatched this image from the Montezuma Bowl cam.

We are closing for the season the afternoon of May 3. We still have lots of fun, spring skiing. Opensnow.com is forecasting a foot and half of snow over the next week. It is Rally Time. There are only 9 more days. You still have time to break out those…

Spring Skiing

I took this photo yesterday about noon. The photo tells the whole story. The sky was that blue and the snow was that white. We are in for a great week of spring skiing.
