Arapahoe Basin – The highest-elevated ski area in North America!

The skiing fun at Arapahoe Basin begins at almost 10,800 feet above sea-level. The chairlifts take the winter sport fans up to over 13,000 feet. No ski lift in Europe reaches that height. And the ski season at the ski resort, which the locals fondly refer to as “A-Basin,” is also a quite long one. The lifts are open to skiers and snowboarders from October to June. Arapahoe Basin is on the west side of Loveland Pass in Summit County, about 65 miles from Denver. From Denver you take Interstate 70 (I-70) and exit at Loveland Pass (exit 216). Continue for 8 miles on US 6 through Loveland Pass all the way to Arapahoe Basin. In case of bad weather, we recommend staying on I-70 until you reach Silverthorne (exit 205). Exit at Silverthorne and then continue along US 6 through Keystone until you reach A-Basin. Unlike many other ski areas in the US where you have to pay to park close to the lifts, at A-Basin there are plenty of free parking spaces within walking distance. Arapahoe Basin directly neighbors the world-renowned Breckenridge and Keystone resorts.
