Enough green and blue slopes to keep entertained for a day. Efficient main lift. In the Legends Cafe , $4.25 for a fountain drink, but the $11 "10-8 Burger " and the $11.50 chicken tenders were tasty.

I'm a native who loves a basin , and I'm not alone. Montezuma is my favorite area here. Smallest distance from parking to lift anywhere! Cookout with your grill and chill all day, love a bay !!!!

Ron Jeramiah

Just may be my most favorite mountain . Get here early so you can park close. The Montezuma Bowl is a must do but it’s FAST!

Cami Brown

Columbine on the back has to be my favorite blue slope . I haven't been able to come that much in the winter but its amazing now and it's Memorial Day weekend so I can't imagine how it is in the winter

Kevin Burns

The best day possible at the Basin is arriving early and getting a spot on the beach for cooking out and hanging. Hit the terrain hard in the morning, then party in the afternoon.

Days b4 aBasin opens yearly they sell 300 glass personal beer mugs and sell out b4 they open -- the bar is being re-done and the upped the amount to 500 this year! Today there were still a few left!!

Mike Smith

They opened Timber Glades today. Great skiing , still knee-deep stashes. Enter from PallavIcini west side.

Vitamin Yi

Locals mountain ... Very few beginners runs. Lines off Palli can match any other CO mountain !

Graham Geiselman

Great ski spot as long as you're not a beginner. Check out Montezuma Bowl if that part of the mountain is open!

Courtney Hampton

24th Annual Enduro April 17, 2013. If you think the Tough Mudder races are hard, you should try skiing double black diamonds for 10 hours straight. These guys (and girls) are tough!

Kate Ann

The greatest ski resort in the world. End of story.

Don't miss the Bacon Bloody Mary—the ultimate cure for the fiercest hangover. Order one up in the base area's a-frame.

Cheri Breeman

Everything. But her here early for the best parking .

Geoffrey Vitt

Most of the time the first to open and the last to close. BBQ at the Black Mtn. Lodge is the best!

Burrito at the base for brekky from a little trailer - so cute

All Snowboard Colorado magazines are available at the tents today. Stop by and pick one up.

Memphis Barnes

Best hot cocoa at the bar / resturaunt. It's worth $4 a cup!

Glenn Thayer

Take the Pallavicini lift instead of Exhibition for quicker access to Lawanee/Montazuma (less lines ). Great frontside skiing too (experts only).

Anne Jensen

My happy place!

El Rafa

Grind! Grind! Grind! #Snowboarding #ABasin love this spot!!

You have screwed the pooch if you leave the bad without a bacon bloody mary
