People have been skiing and snowboarding for the last month.

Hiking the fresh pow in the back country… riding one run at loveland and jib-ba-lib-in around town. Geeez. Get on your riding style and party.

"Skier visits aren’t universally reported in the ski industry nor are they consistently calculated, he added. But the main reason for keeping the numbers under wraps is to prevent competitors from learning too much, Perry said."

What motivates you to Ride?  My motivation to ride is the hunt for that peak performance deep in the woods, covered in pow, and flying effortlessly with friends, family or in solitude only the mountain can provide.  I love to Ride and Im bummed the season is over.  Thats my motivation… I just started reading this book called “Skiing Out Of Your Mind.” I found it interesting that the first chapter goes straight towards motivation. Alot of people ride with no idea what an amazing thing it is. They spend all day concerned about the cost of the pass or how if they had better gear they would enjoy it more. They complain about the cold or how uncomfortable their boots are. These people are dwelling on the wrong stuff and are not enjoying everything the experience of speeding down groomers or dropping back county runs has to offer. Your outside on a mountain bigger than anything youve ever seen. The air is fresh. Your moving and experiencing speed, thrills, adrenaline all while being creative with new lines down a dangerous and unknown world.  Next time you go riding dwell on the experience you went up there for in the first place. Take a deep breath and look around. Your in a place, at a time unique to you.  You got seven months to prepare for next season.  Jacob Hudson http://ride2rank.com/ http://twitter.com/Ride2Rank Facebook - Ride2Rank http://twitter.com/jakehuds

Arapahoe Basin

Arapahoe Basin is still open! 

I have never been there but it look pretty sweet. 900 acres, 7 lifts, and a 40” Base. Seem promising. Check out this list of sweet facts. 

  • Arapahoe Basin Ski Area opened to the public in 1946 with one, mid-mountain rope tow that skiers reached in an Army weapons carrier pulled by a four-wheel drive vehicle. A-Basin reported 1,200 skier visits. They paid $3 a day to access the mountain.
  • It wasn’t until the 1947-1948 season that chairlifts were installed. Arapahoe Basin’s first chairlifts were the 1st post-war chairlifts ordered in Colorado.
  • Those chairlifts must have made quite the difference. Skier visits jumped over 1,000% from the 1st to 2nd season to 13,000.
  • With a base of close to 11,000, and a summit elevation more than 13,000! Arapahoe Basin Ski Area has the highest skiable terrain in North America and a vertical drop of 2,270’.
  • Opening in late October and not closing until June, Arapahoe Basin also boasts one of the longest seasons in North America.
  • Our 900 exhilarating acres does not include the legendary East Wall, which has 90-110 acres that we don’t even count. How’s that for a terrain bonus!
  • Arapahoe Basin’s Treeline terrain park is the highest terrain park in North America and stays open until June of each year. The Treeline use to be called the Mutha’ Hucker.
  • The Pallavicini run and lift are named after a similarly shaped nose called the Pallavicini Couloir on Grossglockner, the highest peak in Austria (12,457 ft.), first climbed (in winter, no less) by the Austrian mountaineer, Count Pallavicini.
  • In 1974 the ski area sold a lift ticket for $7.50. A three day pass was $18 and a season pass was $125.
  • The current A-Frame lodge in the base area was once a missile testing facility.

If your mountain has closed check out Arapahoe Basin!
