The long wait is over.
Arapahoe Basin ski area will open for the season on Sunday, marking the first of Colorado’s resorts to get — and make — enough snow for skiers and snowboarders to hit the slopes.
A-Basin will open the Black Mountain Express lift to High Noon at 8:30 a.m., officials announced Saturday.
“The resort has plans to continue snowmaking, opening more terrain as quickly as possible, heading up to the summit and starting next with Lenawee Face and Dercum’s Gulch,” A-Basin leaders said in a news release.
Opening day attendees can also take in live music, score giveaways in the lift line or grab a bite at 6th Alley Bar & Grill, Black Mountain Lodge or Legends Cafe.
Opening day lift tickets go on sale at noon and are $129 for adults. Ikon Pass holders have unlimited season access until Dec. 19, when pass holders have five days for the rest of the season.
A-Basin, along with Loveland and Keystone ski areas, started snowmaking operations more than a week ago.
