The ski area will then remain open for weekends-only on Friday, June 7, through Sunday, June 9, and Friday, June 14, through Sunday, June 16.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">As of Friday morning, A-Basin reported a base of 82 inches and powder conditions after 3 inches of snow fell overnight, 11 inches over the past three days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In terms of open terrain, on Friday morning A-Basin had open for skiing and riding terrain off of all of its major lifts, including the Black Mountain Express lift, the Lenawee Mountain lift, the Beavers lift, the Pallavicini lift and the Zuma Bowl lift.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">According to OpenSnow.com, the ski area as of Friday morning is at 197% \u2014 nearly double \u2014 its average snowpack for winter seasons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u201cIt\u2019s still snowing and the conditions are superb,\u201d A-Basin said on its snow conditions web page early Friday morning. \u201cIt feels like mid-winter up here. At this point the world (ski area) is your oyster. Everywhere you ski is going to be remarkable. I would say go ski Zuma for the views, but its still snowing so maybe go ski Zuma for some great skiing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">A-Basin isn\u2019t the only ski area or resort still open in Summit County, as Breckenridge Ski Resort announced earlier this week it would extend skiing and riding availability on a pair of weekends beyond the resort\u2019s previously scheduled closing day of Memorial Day this coming Monday. As such, skiing and riding at Breckenridge based out of the resort\u2019s Peak 7 base are will be open the weekends of June 1 to 2 and June 8 to 9.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">All skiers and riders commuting to Peak 7 from downtown Breckenridge must use resort buses to and from Breckenridge Station, as the BreckConnect Gondola will not operate between downtown Breckenridge and Peak 7 for the remainder of the ski season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Breckenridge will open its \u201cEpic Discovery\u201d summer season on-mountain offerings and activities on Friday, June 14, complete with the reopening of BreckConnect Gondola transportation from Breckenridge Station to the base area of the resort\u2019s Peak 8.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/sports-news\/arapahoe-basin-ski-area-extends-season-to-weekend-of-june-14-16-teases-more-to-come\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Skiers and snowboarders take advantage of fresh snow on Tuesday, May 21, at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area.
