Backcountry Skiing/Splitboarding – Arapahoe Basin Uphill Skiing

We will be doing an uphill tour at Arapahoe Basin Ski Resort. We will tour up High Noon > Dercum’s Gulch > Lenawee Face to the summit (as long as the entire route is open). This will be ~1.5 miles and ~1,600 feet of gain (then the same downhill). We will only do one lap.

I expect a moderate pace. We will start at 7:00am (this means ready to go!) with the goal of being at the summit by 8:30am. We will then ski back down, with the goal of being back at the cars by 8:45am.

Access to uphill tour at A-Basin requires an Uphill Access Pass. Please make sure to purchase one before attending this trip.

Access can close at any time. I will confirm the night before (by 6pm) that access is open and this trip can still run.

• Uphill access status (open vs. closed)
• Trail map

We will need to park in the Admin Lot as this is the parking lot recommended for outside-of-hours parking at A-Basin. Google Map here and map on the A-Basin website here. We will all meet at the base of High Noon at 7:00am. Depending on where participants are coming from, a carpool can be facilitated. However, the Trip Leader lives up in Summit County and will be meeting participants at the base of High Noon.
