REAL Skiing
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

This area is incredibly underated. However, that being said, if you're a vain skier, more into the scene and seeing and being seen, you'd best take your self-loving-self somewhere else because this hill is too much for you. Olympians train here, European ski groups are in awe here, real people have a real good time here. It is a pure experience of what skiing should be, and used to be. If you'd like to spend your time with great friends, eating real food, drinkin' good beer, enjoying what I think is the top 3 scenery resorts in Colorado and having a REAL experience which also just happens to save you probably hundreds of dollars, then A-Basin is THE place to go on the front range. The mid-winter skiing is just as good as most other front range areas by the way, wind can be a problem at any of them.

Pros: inexpensive, GREAT parking, integrity

Cons: , not for the vain

Editor's Review

Only an hour and a half from Denver and open nearly year-round, this place simply kicks.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

The Extras

On-site facilities are Spartan--just a small base lodge cafeteria with a single set of bathrooms and a mid-mountain barbecue joint. Add a rental shop, a ski school office, four fixed-grip lifts and you have a first-class 1960s-era ski area.
