Arapahoe Basin Closes Out 2025-26 Season After 204 Days on Snow

Arapahoe Basin has closed for the 2025-26 season after 204 days - wrapping up on May 17 following three extensions driven by late-season storms in April and May. It's the resort's earliest closing date in over a decade, but given how tough the season was across Colorado and the West, 204 days is worth acknowledging. The season opened October 26 and ran well beyond its original May 3 closing date.
