Arapahoe Basin has one of the most conveniently located parking lots of all the ski resorts in Colorado. There are several parking spots where you can ski right to and from your car.

There is also additional parking that can be accessed via an underground tunnel that goes under Rt. 6. There is a shuttle that will run between the base area and these parking lots on weekends and holidays.

Arapahoe Basin is well-known for spring skiing and afternoons that are spent hanging out at “The Beach”. This is the area of the Early Riser parking lot that sits directly next to the ski slopes. You can see The Beach in the photo below. On a nice day, you will see a row of grills and tents lining this area.
