October 12, 2008 - 4:24 PM

Sunday night and continues to make snow nightly. The cold weather forecasted for
this weekend will be ideal for continued snow making progress.

A-Basin’s full force of eighteen snow guns have been running from Black Mountain
Lodge to the base area on the intermediate High Noon run. A-Basin officials would
like to have a minimum base of 18” before they open the slopes for the season.
Although no definite opening date has been set, progress has been good and opening
day should not be far away.
Additional Parking this Season
A-Basin has invested $1.2 million dollars into parking improvements for the 2008-09
season. The ski area will be unveiling 300 additional parking spaces connected to
the resort via a new pedestrian tunnel under Highway 6. The tunnel will make for
safe, easy walking access to and from the base area. Additionally, the resort will
have shuttles available to take guests from the upper parking lots to the base area.
Stay tuned for more on the Race to Open. In the meantime, Check out the Arapahoe Basin pictures in our Colorado Skiing Gallery (scroll down)
