Arapahoe Basin boasts one of the longest ski seasons in North America,
opening in November and usually closing in late June. A-Basin also offers
the highest skiable terrain in North America with a summit of 13,050
ft. A-Basin is a locals favorite due to the fact that it remains as
one of the few areas that tourists don't flock to.
Editors Note: A-Basin offers some of the best skiing in the
state for your dollar. Ticket prices are always reasonable, and the
skiing is incredible. For those of you who are qualified, check out
