    Arapahoe Basin – "Blue Bird Day at A Basin November"
    Yesteday November 21, my son and I enjoyed a blue bird day at A Basin. With the two main lifts - Exhibition and Lenawee providing top to bottom skiing, there was a surprising amount of terrain and soft snow to be skied. We spent most the day mixing it up between cruisers and soft bump runs under the Lenawee chair. I also noticed a new mid mountain lodge being built. This facility I was told would be ready to opne around March 1. This coincides with the busy spring season when the Basin cranks into high gear. We will keep you updated as this facilty opens. The snow conditions and variety of sking and riding was nothing short of excellet for this time of year. There have been January's in rcent memory where I had wished the snow was this good. Access wa also available to the far east side of the West wall toward Pali. Lots of good snow and a great day.
