Arapahoe Basin Ski Area is a ski resort and high-alpine summer destination located 60 miles west of Denver, Colorado, in the Rocky Mountains. Known as "The Legend" by locals, the resort operates what is typically Colorado's longest winter season, running from October through June, and provides access to some of North America's highest-elevation terrain for skiing and snowboarding.
Beyond winter, Arapahoe Basin functions as a year-round outdoor recreation venue. Summer offerings include an Aerial Adventure Park, Via Ferrata climbing routes, mountain biking, hiking, scenic lift rides, and snowshoe tours. The resort also participates in the Ikon Pass program, which connects it to a broader network of global ski destinations.
The operation cultivates a laid-back, welcoming environment that distinguishes it from larger commercial resorts in the region. A stated commitment to sustainability, belonging, and inclusion underpins its approach to both workforce and visitor experience. The resort's focus extends to creating memorable experiences for employees alongside its guests.
