About skiing in Arapahoe Basin
A-Basin combines a compact base with high alpine skiing on both sides of the Continental Divide. Pallavicini, the Beavers and Montezuma Bowl offer very different terrain from the lower learning slopes. East Wall access is a separate advanced decision and depends on conditions and patrol openings. Choose lodging and rental collection around your planned first-day terrain. Review the official trail map and open lifts before setting a meeting point; published totals describe the resort inventory rather than guaranteed daily availability.
