The last Summit County ski resort to announce its closing day, Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, will end its season on Sunday, May 3, according to a news release.
The resort’s season will have lasted 194 days, which the release stated is the longest this season in Colorado, “even in a historically low snowpack year.” A-Basin was the second resort to open in Summit County this season after Keystone Resort announced its opening day-of to get ahead of A-Basin.
To celebrate its closing, A-Basin will offer $39 lift tickets starting on Monday, April 27. It will also have beer specials at 6th Alley all weekend and live music May 2-3 with Moonstone Quill and Don Fuego playing on Saturday and Sunday, respectively, from noon to 3 p.m.
The resort normally has several themed skiing days in May, including a swimwear day, a denim day and a Star Wars day on May 4. With the slopes closing earlier than normal, the release stated riders are invited to join “one giant party” on closing day.
A-Basin will tie Copper Mountain Resort for the latest closing in Summit County this year, as Copper, originally slated to close April 26, announced last week it has extended its season through May 3.
