This 468-acre expansion puts Arapahoe Basin in the big leagues when it comes to expert skiing destinations.

Beautiful, Adventurous Terrain
This terrain isn’t for the beginner or casual skier. It’s intense, but in a good way. If you’re ready for some challenges and terrain that really keeps you focused and your blood pumping, then test it out. Skiers who bore easily with long groomers all day long will enjoy this natural terrain as it provides steep chutes and glades, with a couple of intermediate runs mixed in. More than simply riding a lift and gliding down, this expansion will get your attention with a fresh, new experience. Simply put, you’ll gain access to a more remote area, snowfields of freshies all day long, and an outdoor adventure that’s just a little more than an hour’s drive from Denver.

Location, Location, Location
Colorado is a prime skiing area, but when you’re flying into Denver you face a long drive or ride to the most popular resorts. It’s a hassle, but one people deal with because it’s worth it. One of the many great things about Arapahoe Basin is that it’s closer to Denver than many of the other resorts. This means you get to start your adventure sooner and spend more time exploring the phenomenal terrain. You’ll spend less vacation time on the road, and more time on the snow.

Plenty of Space
The new expansion sets Arapahoe Basin with 1,428 acres of beautiful terrain. And don’t worry, not all the terrain is for expert skiers. So if you or a family member are tagging along with a group of experts, you can take a few lessons with their pro instructors and hit a few of the less rugged slopes. With equipment rentals, plenty of lodging options, and several places to dine, there’s adventure for skiers and riders of any ability level at Arapahoe Basin.

So, if you’re wondering where to plan your next thrilling snowy adventure, consider braving the new terrain at Arapahoe Basin. Explore the wild, natural acres that await you, and experience skiing like never before.
