May 3, 2009 — Not quite ready to mothball your skis for the season, especially with some of the wettest, wildest spring weather in recent memory? Then Arapahoe Basin in Summit County can scratch that ski itch for at least another month, and throw in some free music to boot.

A-Basin ski area will be open seven days a week until closing day June 7. Ninety-two trails are open with six lifts serving 797 acres including the East Wall and Montezuma Bowl. All skier services are available including snow sports lessons and ski and board rentals. All items in the retail store at Arapahoe Sports are 50% off.
