Arapahoe Basin, Colorado Announces Targeted Closing Date In June

Originally posted on Powder | By Matt Lorelli | Last updated 5/21/24

It wasn't an all-time year for snowfall for Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, Colorado, but enough fell to keep skiers and snowboarders sliding into June, as is tradition.

A-Basin COO Al Henceroth has just announced via the popular 'Al's Blog' that the ski area will remain open until "at least" Sunday, June 9th, 2024. Full details in the embedded Facebook post below.

The post also confirms that lifts will spin daily through Sunday, June 2nd, close Monday-Thursday, and then reopen Friday, May 7th through Sunday, June 9th.

Henceroth hints at the possibility of another weekend of skiing if, "conditions are still good."

With Arapahoe Basin confirming that they'll stay open into early June, it begs the question- which ski area will be the last standing in the state of Colorado?

A-Basin is joined by nearby Winter Park Resort as the only resorts still open in the state. WP has made it clear that they intend to keep the terrain on Mary Jane open 'As Long As Possible' (ALAP), but will they make it into June? That remains to be seen.

As far as conditions go, both ski areas are supporting respectable bases for late-May. As of May 21, 2024, Arapahoe Basin and Winter Park are reporting base depths of 56 inches and 53 inches, respectively.
