Tag: Arapahoe Basin

On the seventh day of skiing, Arapahoe Basin gave to me, 3 inches of fresh snow! Unfortunately not quite near the upper range of 8 inches that was forecast but at least it wasn’t busy all day and I never had to wait in a line. Overall yet another fantastic day of skiing and the last of this trip and season! Hopefully by the 2021/2022 season all the pandemic related changes will no longer be necessary.

It took the snow a little bit to warm up this morning at Arapahoe Basin. The sky was partly cloudy and alternated from cool and dark to warm and toasty. But after two or so hours the snow softened up on the upper half of the front side of the mountain. It ended up being a nice spring day! Up to 8 inches of snow is predicted for tonight. Hopefully it will happen!

Today was a weekend day and with 6″ of new snow in the last two days it ended up being pretty busy. While it wasn’t that bad around opening time, the lines consistently increased in length throughout the morning. Parking ultimately reached capacity today. The weather also ran through the full spectrum from a beautiful cloudless sky to full overcast with light snow. The snow on the ground was a bit hard and crunchy in the early morning but got nicer as it softened up. It was definitely better than the conditions prior to the recent snowfall!
