A Little Strange

Roller Balls

Following all the deep snow of Friday and Saturday, today was sunny and beautiful and quite warm. The next few days might be even warmer. We are seeing roller balls tumbling down North Glade, The East Wall and The Steep Gullies. If the forecast holds true, we may return to temperatures in teens next week. AHHH, spring at A-Basin.

Candid Talk On Opening

I want to have a candid discussion on the possibility of us re-opening. I am concerned a few of you may be getting the wrong message. A re-opening will not be happening soon. As a community we have more work to do battling COVID-19. Hospitalization and fatality rates need to continue to fall. We still need to follow all the social distancing recommendations. Culturally, to open we have to be comfortable travelling and driving again.

That said, you know when conditions are right, we will try and re-open. That time is at least a few weeks away. We are working on plans of HOW to open. There is still no plan for WHEN to open. There are no plans to open uphill access at this time.

Don't be discouraged. This is a marathon and A-Basin is a marathon runner. What other area stays open from mid-October to July 4th? We all need to do the right things now if we want to get open again.

Nice Spot

The Black Jewel is an amazing part of The Basin. So is this.

The Black Jewel

I believe Larry Jump was the first to call Pallavicini "The Black Jewel" of Arapahoe Basin many, many, many decades ago.
