YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

Arapahoe Basin is committed to promoting skier and rider safety. In addition to people using traditional alpine ski equipment, you may be joined on the slopes by snowboarders, telemark or cross-country skiers, snowbikers, skiers with disabilities, skiers with specialized equipment, snowshoers, and others.

Always show courtesy to others and be aware that there are elements of risk in skiing and snowboarding that common sense and personal awareness can help reduce. Know your ability level and stay within it.

Winter sports involve risk of serious injury or death. Your knowledge, decisions, and actions contribute to your safety and that of others. If you need help understanding the Code, please ask any ski area employee.

NSAA Safety Resources

 

Always stay in control. You must be able to stop or avoid people or objects.

People ahead or downhill of you have the right-of-way. You must avoid them.

Stop only where you are visible from above and do not restrict traffic.

You must prevent runaway equipment.

PASS FAQ

Questions? Start here. If you still can't find what you're looking for, call our guest services team: 888-272-7246

If you were a 2023-24 Unrestricted, Mid-Week, or Value pass holder, you qualify for a discounted renewal rate on pass offerings for 2024-25. Renewal rates are only offered for Unrestricted and Mid-Week pass types and are only available for adult pass holders (ages 19-69). No renewal rate is offered for child, youth, senior, military, adaptive, or fall passes. Renewal prices are no longer available for the 2024/25 winter season.

We do not mail passes or packs! If you have purchased any A-Basin Pass product in the past, please reuse the same BasinCard—saving you time and supporting our sustainability goals. Your new product will be automatically loaded onto the card. The card must be from A-Basin from the 21/22 season or later; no Ikon Passes, Epic Passes, or paper tickets can be reloaded. If you need a Basincard, please visit our Guest Services office with a photo ID to print your pass product. Guest Services is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily. You may also pick up your card during summer operations. If you are purchasing a Military Pass, please visit our Guest Services office to provide proof of service or a military ID at the time of pickup. An active or retired military member must be present. If you are purchasing an adaptive pass, the purchaser must provide an official document from their physician that says they are eligible for an adaptive pass at the time of pickup. Documents do not need to indicate the nature of the disability. Please visit our Guest Services office, open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. daily. You may also visit us during summer operations. If you have provided documentation in the past, you do not need to provide this information to Guest Services again.

Rates from 0–36% APR. Payment options through Affirm are subject to an eligibility check and are provided by these lending partners: affirm.com/lenders. Options depend on your purchase amount, and a down payment may be required. CA residents: Loans by Affirm Loan Services, LLC are made or arranged pursuant to a California Finance Lenders Law license. For licenses and disclosures, see affirm.com/licenses. For example, a $800 purchase could be split into 12 monthly payments of $72.21 at 15% APR or 4 interest free payments of $200 every 2 weeks.” 2023-24 passes and packs costing $149 or more are eligible for payment plans through Affirm by qualifying purchasers. Affirm is a third-party payment plan provider that manages payment plans for a variety of goods and services sold online. Plans will vary by customer. We are no longer offering the $49 deposit.

Sales of unlimited, unrestricted passes are capped in order to limit crowding and provide guests with a better experience.

No. Multi-Day Packs are photo-pass products tied to a specific individual. You cannot share pack days. We do not sell transferrable ticket packs.

Purchase a Multi-Day Pack before they sell out to get 3-5 days at the best price. We will not sell a Spring Pass and anticipate that Multi-Day Packs will sell out many months prior to the Spring ‘25 ski/ride season. You will spend significantly more purchasing single-day lift tickets so plan ahead if you want to visit in the spring (or whenever; planning ahead and buying early always saves you money).

Days at other ski areas vary by pass product. Please visit or pass the benefits FAQ for those details. Blackout dates apply.

Arapahoe Basin pass products are NON-REFUNDABLE and NON-TRANSFERABLE under ANY circumstances, including, but not limited to, unplanned closures, snow conditions, weather, natural disasters, pandemics, or other acts of God. Arapahoe Basin has a long season, typically from October to June. That said, we never guarantee the length of our season. Historically, we have had years when our season opened later or closed early due to weather and other unforeseen circumstances. Because we do not and cannot guarantee the length of a season, we do not refund season passes. We do not issue partial refunds on partly used Multi-Day, Fall, or College Packs. EX: If you purchase a 4-day pack and only use 2 days, you will not receive a refund for your unused days, and those days will not carry over to the next season. We will also not issue any kind of refunds on Fall products if we open later than usual (we do not have a set opening day). We open when we can and as soon as we can but see above about working with Mother Nature.

A-Basin discount friends and family tickets MUST be purchased online in advance via A-Basin's eStore. These tickets are not sold on-site, and we sell them out in advance of some weekends. Ikon friends and family tickets MUST be purchased in advance online using a voucher obtained from Ikon's website first. Tickets must be bought online from our website in advance; we do not sell lift tickets on-site.

We will re-print your A-Basin or Ikon Pass for free one time. After the first time, there will be a $5 charge each time you need your pass to be re-issued.

You must be 70+ years old at the time of purchase to qualify for a senior pass. ​

In most cases, yes. You can apply what you spent on a Multi-Day Pack to a full-season pass for the same season but ONLY IF the full-season pass is still available. You will pay whatever the pass price is at the time of your upgrade. Only valid in the same season.

No. All A-Basin passes are season-specific, non-transferable, and non-refundable.

No, we are not offering the Value Pass for the 2024/25 winter season. Unrestricted prices did not increase this season, so check that out for the most days and benefits. Our Mid-Week Pass is a great option for unlimited weekday skiing and riding.
