A-Basin is known for having the longest ski season of any Colorado mountain resort, with the most recent running through the Fourth of July.
The resort is located 68 miles from Denver and offers 1,428 acres of skiable terrain.
Ikon Pass holders will have seven-day access to the resort with no blackout dates, according to Alterra, and five-day access on the Ikon Base Pass with selected blackout dates.
“Arapahoe Basin is a beloved brand among skiers and riders, and we are proud that the destination has joined the Ikon Pass community,” Alterra Chief Marketing Officer Erik Forsell said in a news release Friday. “We can feel winter around the corner as we offer skiers and riders another iconic reason to hit the slopes in Colorado.”
