| Arapahoe Basin | Arapahoe Basin (A-Basin or simply, the Basin) is a renowned ski area for alpine skiing high in the Colorado Rockies. Max and Edna Dercum started the ski area along with the Ski Tip Lodge in the 1940s. Since its early beginning, it has expanded to include over 60 trails serviced by 5 lifts. The east wall has a summit elevation of 13,050 feet (3977m), making it the highest skiable terrain in North America. About 250,000 skiers visit the ski area annually. Known popularly as "the Basin" by locals, it has gained a reputation as a skier's paradise. It is also considered one of the most convenient to the Denver area, being relatively close to Denver (though other ski resorts, such as Eldora, are geographically closer). (references) | ||
