Your Ski Season Just Got A-Basin Longer

So here's what's wild—you might think ski season is pretty much done around here. Maybe you've put the boards away, already thinking about those summer hikes up a 14er. But Arapahoe Basin, bless their rad hearts up in Summit County, just dropped the news: they're extending their season all the way to May 10. That's right, even after getting a foot of fresh powder, they’re still only running 7% of their terrain, but that’s all we need. If you know, you know.

Okay, context—it's not unheard of for A-Basin to go late, they’ve got a reputation for it. But with how dry some parts of the season felt, especially down here on the Front Range, this is a pretty stoked surprise. It means you can still get some turns in, maybe even catch a Bluebird day before hitting the Cherry Creek bike path for good. It’s a classic Colorado move, really, squeezing every last drop of winter out of the mountains before the heat really settles in and turns everything brown.

* **What This Means for Denver Skiers:**

* One last chance for spring turns.

* Traffic on I-70 might be a little lighter heading up.

* Bragging rights for skiing in May.

* An excuse to avoid yard work for another week.

It’s a reminder that even when you think Denver's moving on, the mountains always have a trick up their sleeve. So, dust off those skis, or maybe just go up for the vibe and a beer at the base. Mile high on the wire — altitude and attitude.
