Think snow again: A-Basin announces pass prices for next ski season

By Regan Dickinson, Examiner.com

When the 2012-2013 ski season officially ended at Arapahoe Basin, the ski area turned right around and announced its pass pricing for the 2013-2014 season, which is now months away.

Returning for another year is the two-season Double Down pass, once again retailing for $499. The Double Down is good for unlimited skiing and riding during both the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons.

A-Basin’s Elevation 3 Pass now provides an extra day on the mountain with the Elevation 4 Pass. You can purchase the Elevation 4 Pass during a limited time this summer and receive four days of skiing and riding for the same price as last year’s three-day Elevation 3 Pass: $119 for adults (ages 15 and up) and $89 for children (ages 6-14).

The Elevation 4 Pass is valid any day during the 2013-14 ski season, is non-transferable, and will be sold online at arapahoebasin.com. Prices are subject to change.

Arapahoe Basin single-season passes are also on sale at the lowest prices of the season. Adults (age 19+) can ski or ride for the entire 2013-14 season for $269; youth (ages 15-18) passes cost $199; child (ages 6-14) passes cost $139.

A-Basin season pass holders receive discounts on food and beverage, retail items, snowsports lessons and discounted lift tickets for friends and family.

While the ticket window pricing for next season has not yet been released, single-day lift tickets for the 2013-14 season are currently on sale online. To find the best value on single-day lift tickets, book in advance online at tickets.arapahoebasin.com.

All passes and ticket products can be purchased either online at arapahoebasin.com or over the phone at 888-ARAPAHOE (272-7246).
