Best Ways to Use A Basin Ski Passes
The best idea is to buy in advance and buy online. That’s where the deepest discounts are. Next, decide whether or not you want to ski at Breck and/or Keystone. A Basin has a partnership with these Summit County resorts and you can by combo A Basin tickets that are good for A Basin/Breck or A Basin/Keystone. Typically, you will pay a little more per day over the A Basin prices with these deals, but you slightly under-pay the day rate at Breck. So it can be a fair trade unless you do all of your skiing at A Basin on a combo deal. Third, parking is cheap here, meaning free. Parking is usually a very small fee at most places, but it can add up once you drive up, rent skis, get a ski pass, and buy food/drinks on the mountain. You’ll be in no mood to pay another $10 just to park. Lucky for you, A Basin is cool. And finally, A Basin typically has the best ratio of number of people to ski terrain in Colorado. You won’t be waiting in long lines or elbowing for room at the bar.
But bear in mind that A Basin is mostly challenging terrain, and this hill is not oriented towards partying. We don’t mean to imply that you can’t party or that you have to be sorry for partying, but if you’ve never been to Arapahoe Basin, once you see it, you’ll know what we mean. People are here to ski and board; they aren’t here to be seen drinking in front of the fire pits in UGGs. They are not overly serious like people might be in the backcountry, but people come here to get away from the crowds and gets lots of turns in. It is not an unfriendly place–far from it–but it is nothing like Breck or Vail. And that can be a good thing, depending on how much you like to ski.
Arapahoe Basin Half Day Tickets
Half-day lift tickets to A Basin are not always offered. They usually are, but just know that sometimes you can’t get them–depending on several different factors. And this is a good thing, because you really don’t want to buy a half day ticket anyway. In most cases, they are a waste of money. Either you wait around until these go on sale and miss some quality runs trying to save $12 or you are so late to the hill that you’re paying $70 to ski for two hours. Oh, we get it. Two hours of skiing at Arapahoe basin is way better than one or none. But dollar per hour, half days are a wallet monster. And this is not unique to A Basin, but it is unique to all half day tickets.
