“This season is an opportunity for us to show everyone who A-Basin is,” said Arapahoe Basin President & COO Alan Henceroth, “For folks with the Ikon Pass, this may be your first time visiting us. For our returning community, we’d like to reintroduce ourselves – we're the same A-Basin you know and love, only maybe even a little better. And the 2025-26 season is about to begin for Arapahoe Basin. We will open Black Mountain Express tomorrow morning, Sunday, October 26, at 8:30 AM. The Snowmakers had a good session last night. Three snowcats will spend the day dozing and tilling High Noon. Tonight the Snowmakers will put the frosting on cake. The Cat Drivers will add a till just before dawn tomorrow and there you have it. We will be skiing Sunday morning. Can't wait to see you."
