It’s Happening – Ikon Pass Winter 26/27 Is Open for the Season at Colorado’s Arapahoe Basin

Today, the 26/27 Ikon Pass winter season officially kicked off and is underway at Colorado’s Arapahoe Basin Ski Area. New this season, both Ikon Pass and Ikon Base Pass holders have unlimited access to A-Basin.

A-Basin will operate seven days a week for the remainder of the season. On opening day, skiers and riders can enjoy skiing and riding on High Noon, a blue run accessed via the Black Mountain Express. Snowmaking will continue and more terrain will open as quickly as possible along the front side of the mountain.

A-Basin is not only celebrating, “First Ikon Pass Destination to Open,” but also its 80th winter season with better access than ever, community events all season long, and more.

“We’re kicking off the Ikon Pass 26/27 season on a high note with our 80th Anniversary. As we celebrate this milestone, offering unlimited access to A-Basin to both Ikon Pass and Ikon Base Pass holders this winter, skiers and riders have plenty of days ahead to see why we’ve been the Legend for 80 years,” said Alan Henceroth, President & COO, Arapahoe Basin.

Ikon Pass holders can access 70+ Ikon Pass destinations worldwide, now with unlimited access to Arapahoe Basin throughout winter 26/27 for Ikon Pass and Ikon Base Pass holders. The snow is falling around the world with more opening dates around the corner. Ikon Pass is on sale now at www.ikonpass.com.
