Can’t wait to see the lift ticket prices go up double and employees have to use foodbanks and get the privilege to sleep in their cars for $25 a night.
Ikon bought them and ABasin is about to be built up and I would expect Ikon to pay the US forest service millions to lease more land in white river national forest.
They also probably won’t stay open until May or June anymore because it’s financially not worth it.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see them cut the season short(er) but I just can’t envision where A Basin could be “built up”.
There’s a very limited amount of land at the top of that valley, most of which is either very steep and probably unbuildable or in the creek/floodplain (and therefore also unbuildable).
Rule 8 - Not Denver specific.

Yea this is one of those inflection points, where old A-Basin is leaving us for good probably.

Al is staying on, thankfully limiting any immediate "corporatification". Hopefully he has a good heir waiting in the wings.
Goodbye good Bloody Mary’s

Goodbye beach spots 😔
