Snowboarding Arapaho Basin

Last day at the pad. So pretty good stay here. Stayed here five days. It's got a nice very communal type place. Talked with a lot of great skiers and snowboarders here and feel cool. And now I'm off to Arapahoe Basin. Starting to wind this ski tour down. Arapahoe Basin consists of about five different zones. You have the main area consisting of a lot of greens, blues, and blacks. To the skier's right is the east wall. Expert terrain for those that don't mind a hike up and seeking a challenge. To the skier's left you have the beavers. Large bowl with amazing glade runs funneled down. Most of which are rated a single black diamond. And to the north of the beavers we have Palachini. Featuring some expert terrain for skiers looking for a challenge. You also have Montezuma Bowl or Zuma Bowl. The Zuma Bowl is a nice place to start since it's south facing and gets the first rays of the sunlight. I started my day in Montezuma Bowl. At the time I did this video in Ski Day Basin it was January of 2025. It hardly snowed. The snow conditions were hard packed and tracked out. But at least the cool temperatures kept things nice and soft and edgable. The beavers is filled with many runs. All rated in the single black diamond advanced terrain. Here you can spend all day just exploring all the bowls and the various glade runs. I did various runs. I did ptarmigan, marmot, beaver bowl and I explored the glades of the dogwoods. Runs such as digger and alex. With the hard packed snow I did find the terrain a little bit challenging but still well within my ability. There are a couple mellow runs called loafer and davis. They'll take you down to the bottom as well. All the runs in the beavers funnel down to the base of the beaver's lift where it takes you back up. Where you can do another lap or go off to explore more of the Arapaho Basin. Well this closes out my 2025 Colorado trip. You know it's been a totally awesome week and a half skiing the different areas from Copper, Keystone, Eldora, Breckenridge and A-Basin which is my favorite. I really love A-Basin's interesting terrain. I think it has a lot to offer for everybody from intermediate way on to up to experts. I hope to return to A-Basin and hopefully we'll have better snow and I can experience more uh more of A-Basin's terrain. I apologize for taking so long to create these videos and I thank all of you who stuck it out this far with the video.
