"Arapahoe Basin Ski Area, Colorado, has pushed its closing day back once more, announcing Friday it will remain open through May 17 - the resort's second extension in as many weeks and another chapter in what has been a remarkable late-season run."
"A-Basin had originally set May 3 as its closing day, citing a 194-day season that it called the longest in Colorado, even in a historically low snowpack year. A late-season storm cycle then delivered 14 inches of new snow, prompting the resort to extend operations through May 10. Fresh snowfall and high-elevation snowpack have now earned skiers yet another weekend on the mountain."
"The resort will remain closed Monday through Thursday to preserve snow coverage, reopening Friday, May 15, through Sunday, May 17. Black Mountain Express and the Lenawee Express will spin from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, and from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Uphill access remains available throughout the week, though users must complete their ascents outside of operating hours on open days."
"Terrain will be limited. Black Mountain Express and Lenawee Express will service primarily intermediate runs. One green-rated trail is available, though the resort has confirmed there is no beginner or learner terrain open at this time. Lift tickets are available for $39 through closing day."
