Arapahoe Basin Terrain
Arapahoe Basin boasts North America's highest skiable terrain and Colorado's longest ski season. Our high-alpine environment is incredibly diverse, allowing guests to charge groomed cruisers on the lower mountain, play in the wide-open bowl skiing of Montezuma on the back side, or challenge themselves on the incomparable steeps, trees and bumps of Pallavicini, East Wall and North Glades. We even have three terrain parks to keep freestylers and jibbers happy. The combination of scenic terrain and a laid-back vibe have earned us the title, "The Legend."
