Snow Line is Dropping

























































Looks like the snow line dropped down to about 11,500' last night. The temperature at the Summit was 28 F this morning. We should see rain and snow showers through the day. The aspens are really starting to turn. We might be making snow next week.

Jamie Ober

I am very excited to introduce Jamie Ober as Arapahoe Basin's new Snow Safety Director. As a leader and manager with the Ski Patrol, Jamie will be overseeing all avalanche operations. Jamie has been with us a very long time. In addition to being a Ski Patroller and Avalanche Forecaster for many years, Jamie has also held the positions of Lift Operations Manager, Terrain Park Manager, Snowmaker, Lift Operator, Summer Trail Member and many other "duties as assigned." He brings a strong work ethic, keen awareness of the mountain and snow, and intense passion to his new job. And the guy can ski. Please welcome Jamie to his new role.
