Arapahoe Basin Ski Area on Friday dropped the rope to provide public access to terrain along the ski area\u2019s famed East Wall at the Continental Divide.<\/p>\n

In a post on his blog Friday afternoon<\/a>, A-Basin Chief Operating Officer Al Henceroth said portions of the lower East Wall opened at about 1:45 p.m. Friday. He said ski patrol has been working on terrain along the East Wall for weeks before triggering a \u201cpretty big slide\u201d from avalanche mitigation on the right flank of the East Wall\u2019s Corner Chute run.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe patrol opened the area below the (East Wall) traverse out to the Hot-Cold Closure below Corner Chute,\u201d Henceroth wrote. \u201cEspecially in the early East Wall season, the area tends to open and close as conditions change. Another storm is brewing for Sunday and Monday that could impact conditions and the open\/closed status. I squeezed in a couple runs. It was my kind of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to A-Basin\u2019s terrain status page<\/a>, as of Friday afternoon, the Land of the Giants extreme double-black-diamond terrain on the lower East Wall was open. The terrain status page reported the East Wall\u2019s hike-to terrain was closed.<\/p>\n
