It’s official! Arapahoe Basin is the first mountain to open this season. They announced that they will open THIS Friday, October 13th.
Their website states that there is thin cover and no beginner terrain. It says, “You should expect: hidden and unmarked obstacles, variable and thin snow conditions, rocks, logs and other hazards.”
Now comes my question… I happen to have about 10 days off between jobs in late October. Do y’all think it’s worth it to go out there and ski for 8 days? It will be hard for me to take more than two weeklong vacations once this season starts. (I live on the East Coast.) I am an advanced-intermediate skier who is trying to improve and get solidly into the “advanced” camp. I am also willing to get a few lessons if I DO go out there. I have never skied at A-Basin before.
All opinions and insights appreciated! What do you guys think?
