ARAPAHOE BASIN OPENS FOR THE SKI SEASON THURSDAY,

OCTOBER 13, 2011

Arapahoe Basin, Colorado – October 12, 2011 – After a great week of snowmaking and several fresh inches of snow, Arapahoe Basin ski area officials announce that opening day for the 2011-2012 ski season will be Thursday, October 13, 2011. The ski area has only been closed 100 days since last season ended on July 4, 2011.

Black Mountain Express will open to the public at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday. Skiers and riders can look forward to an 18-inch base on the intermediate High Noon run along with several features in the High Divide Terrain Park. There will be no beginner skiing at this time.

A tribute to Arapahoe Basin founders Marnie Jump and Max Dercum who passed away this year will take place before the lifts open to the public.

Opening day adult lift tickets will be available for $59, youth tickets age 15 - 18 will be $49 and child tickets age 6-14 will be $30. The ski and snowboard rental shop, tune shop, food and beverage service, the 6th Alley bar and retail shop will be open to the public. Snowsports lessons will be available on a limited basis.

Local radio station, KYSL will be doing a live morning show and giving away lift tickets on-air. KSMT will also be on site in the base area with a live remote, playing music and handing out give-aways.

A-Basin's Bonus Passes are available while supplies last for $389. The Bonus pass holder receives unlimited skiing or riding at A-Basin for the 2011-2012 ski season and five non-transferable ski days at Keystone or Breckenridge. One of those days can be used at Vail or Beaver Creek (some restrictions apply). A-Basin only passes are also available at great prices. To purchase your pass or check snow conditions go to www.arapahoebasin.com.

Arapahoe Basin would like to invite any interested media to attend the opening day celebration. Please contact Leigh Hierholzer to coordinate lift tickets and any other logistics.

from their fb:Park features - Down Flat Box, Picnic Table, Down Log and Down 30. Kudos to the team for getting them set last night!
 
whos goin tomorrow! ill be up, either huge purp lohi hoodie or puruple causwell, probably rockin hellbents cuz that's all i have mounted at the moment...
 
That pole jam was so much fun! But it was one of those times I wished I was a skier cuz I couldn't get the right speed for what I wanted to do. Can't get back out there again til Sunday but by that point I might as well wait til monday since the weekend might be pretty crowded?
 
yeah I feel like there's gonna be an absolutely ridiculous amount of people for saturday... I'm thinkin loveland sat, abay sun personally
 
I don't think it's worth it to go to love for me I have an epic pass. I can't be leave they are both charging full price for tickets
 
59

i thought that was full price might not be though, still way to damn high.

i think i am going tomorrow will see how i feel in the morning.

ill be wearing orange pants, and either a blue oakley hoodie, or an armada specturm jacket.

bern helmet with an ns sticker to so i shouldnt be to hard to miss.
 
Ha the pole jam thing onto the down-flat was sweet, i definately wrecked on it Thursday morning but it was so fun i've never hit anything like that before
 
And was only there for an hour broke my break on the damn log and my ski went flying down the hill and I almost shut myself I thought it was going to kill someone
 
i fucking hit that and caught an edge, flew all the way down and bit my fucking lip open. spit blood for like an hour. i hate logs
 
i thought you were talking about my ski at first i was like oh shit.

the last time i hit a log it ended badly also, that damn pole jam had my confidence high i guess.

i stuck to that thing like it had glue on it.
 
Same! Thanks for the slingshots duuude haha you gave me the best slingshots all day. AND you were killin it.I tried a 270 again today over it and didn't wreck quite as hard but it was like a 180 to swivel and came off it early lame.
 
ya i'd say pole jams are definitely a lot easier on a snowboard but i saw a couple kids hitting it one foot today.but it seriously looks SO sick when skiers slide into pole jams or whatever you want to call it.
