Amid the novel coronavirus pandemic and resulting shutdown of ski areas in Colorado, Arapahoe Basin Ski Area is moving ahead with plans to replace the Molly Hogan and Pallavicini chairlifts.<\/strong>

DILLON \u2014 In a post on his blog<\/a><\/i> late Saturday morning titled \u201cCandid Talk On Opening,\u201d Arapahoe Basin Ski Area Chief Operating Officer Al Henceroth shared the latest on A-Basin\u2019s thoughts and plans on possibly re-opening some time this spring.<\/p>\n

Henceroth said though the ski area is working on plans of how to open, there still has no plan for when to open lift-serviced skiing and snowboarding and uphill access. The COO made it clear an A-Basin re-opening will not be happening soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat said, you know when conditions are right, we will try and re-open,\u201d Henceroth wrote. \u201cThat time is at least a few weeks away.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t be discouraged,\u201d Henceroth added. \u201cThis is a marathon and A-Basin is a marathon runner. What other area stays open from mid-October to July 4th? We all need to do the right things now if we want to get open again.\u201d<\/p>\n
