Arapahoe Basin, USA
Resort life
A-Basin is a small resort with 4 lifts & a beginner lift, but boasts one of the best atmospheres around. While there is no fancy village or base area, riders can enjoy cheap eats & drinks during their visit. Lodging requires you to stay in the nearby Keystone Resort area, but a free shuttle ride (10-20 minutes depending on where you stay) will get you back to the mountain in time for the first chair. Check out the web site for some killer deals on hotels & condos.Nightlife
Nightlife doesn't exist at A-Basin, but you can enjoy a good time in the Keystone Village or many parts of Summit County depending on where you stay. These areas feature more affordable options than some of Colorado's other, more pricey locations.Resort Statistics
