Overview
Open since 1946, A-Basin Ski Resort is consistently one of the first mountains to open the ski season nationally. Skiers lucky enough to experience the area have access to the highest skiable terrain in North America!
One of the most unique aprés-ski parties is located at “The Beach,” also known as the Early Riser parking lot. Right at the base of three chairlifts, this is a hot-spot for fun activities, including music, festivals and simple gatherings of friends.
The stone never stops rolling at A-Basin Ski Area! New to the 2010-11 Season is the Black Mountain Express Chair. Replacing the older Exhibition triple chair, the newer detachable quad chairlift will cut the ride time in half, carrying 2000 passengers an hour.
