Arapahoe Basin, CO

Friday, May 8, 2026



Mix of sun and clouds, temps in the high 30s. It snowed close to a foot and a half through the week (finally). Since today was A-Basin’s first day open since Sunday…it was crazy crowded. Early Riser was already full at 840 when I got there. Anyway, 2 hours of freeski. Lift lines super long. I think I only got 6 runs. Up top it was really good. They even re-opened the area under Lenawee below Dercum’s. Wrapped with a couple laps on BMX where lines were a fraction shorter but still out the corral. Really fun arcs at the bottom when there were windows. Last weekend. Let’s do this.
