The culture of skiing and snowboarding is inherently social.
While one side of an Arapahoe Basin visit is very social, gathering with
friends and family, making new friends and sharing a meal or drink, the other side
of a visit is a very low-density affair, skiing and riding across our 1,428
acres. We would like our guests to focus more on the low-density skiing and
riding.
To promote social distancing, we are putting in place the following
measures over the next 48 hours:
- We are significantly reducing Food and Beverage operations.
Limited offerings and menus will be available.
- All Guest Services issues will be handled through lift ticket
sales windows.
- The number of people allowed in our Rental Shop will be
limited.
- Snowsports for both kids and adults (lessons) will be focused
primarily outside and classes will be limited to a half day.
- We will not be operating our parking lot shuttles or using
overflow parking.
- We have cancelled all scheduled events through April 8. If
you are signed up for an event, you will be receiving an email regarding
refunds and other options.
We are also strongly recommending the following actions by
our guests to help us at this time:
- People at high risk for COVID-19 (people who are over 60,
already sick, or who have underlying health conditions) should visit another
time.
- Guests should reduce their time inside. While we realize
people need to use the restrooms, warm up, grab a snack or purchase equipment,
we encourage everyone to minimize their time indoors.
- We are encouraging guests to ride lifts with their friends
and family only.
- We are encouraging guests to bring their own lunch and
drinks and eat outside or at their car.
This is a very challenging time. Again, the safety and well-being
of our guests and employees is our greatest concern. Please make informed and
educated decisions about skiing and COVID-19. We want to keep this great
experience going and need your help and cooperation to do so.
Please call us at 888-ARAPAHOE or email us at abasin@a-basin.net
if you need to change your plans.
