3 Days at Monarch Mountain



Arapahoe Basin Season Pass Holders will now get 3 free days of skiing at one of Colorado's coolest resorts, Monarch Mountain.  It has a classic, laid back atmosphere with awesome snow and terrain. Hiking and skiing Mirkwood Bowl is my favorite there.

When The Basin decided to make our change last season, we took off on an extraordinary challenge. We wanted to make the business work better for our guests, our employees, our community and the environment. It would have been cool to make one simple February announcement. That was impossible. We were working with many, many different people and organizations. We had obligations and time constraints. We looked for good new partners that fit with The Legend, but we could not and did not make a deal back then. As soon as we could make good, new partnerships, we did. And as soon as we made those partnerships, we announced those partnerships to you. Along the way we shared what we knew. For example, we announced the only way to ski unlimited days at A-Basin is to buy an A-Basin season pass. It is the only product that will offer unlimited and unrestricted skiing at The Basin.

We are committed to a significant reduction in weekend and holiday crowds. We are committed to keeping the A-Basin culture and vibe strong and alive. We are committed to improving the already awesome Arapahoe Basin mountain experience. We have chosen our exciting, new partners - Monarch Mountain, Ikon Pass, Mountain Collective - to meet those commitments.

All that said, following today's Monarch Mountain announcement, we have nothing else brewing. We have put together an extraordinary set of pass and ticket opportunities to ski Arapahoe Basin. I hope you will join us this season. The experience will be better than ever. I am so excited to partner with our friends at Monarch Mountain.
