This is my go-to place at the first part of the season and my go-to place at the very very end of the season. And any place in between. They're only a few mountains where a true ski vibe remains, and this is one of them.

Spent two amazing years at A-basin in the early 1980s, although it has nearly doubled in accessible terrain since then, it has managed to keep it's skier's mountain vibe. I'm pretty much a Pali lift only skier when I'm there--if you like steep fall-line skiing, you'll know why. A word of caution, you might want to stay away on a high wind days.
Best accessible Steeps in the Rockies
Not typically a deep powder mtn.

Wonderful time was had by our entire family exploring all the slopes! We loved it!
Conditions were great; employees were friendly and there was a nice variety of terrain

First time snowboarding in Colorado, i usually use the blue slopes in Michigan, but found the green slopes too steep here.
Well groomed slopes, friendly staff
The green slopes are way too steep for beginners

Great Mountain. Just found some of the lift attendants have attitude like Matty from Conn. Ruins the experience
Great Terrain when snow is good
Some lift attendants have attitude and don't like the Gursts

A-basin is a spin back in time with steep terrain and easy going folks. My only complaint is often ski patrol and their friends make fresh tracks all day on "closed" runs and exclude paying expert skiers like myself from getting some pow turns. I understand patrolling for safety but open it to all experts not just your private group. Overall, you guys do an awesome job. Thanks
Awesome terrain and options for experts

Yeah if you write a poor review, chances are the mountain is too difficult for yourself. Or you're spoiled. This mountain is epic, the LEGEND
Terrain, snow quality, no lines

I've been skiin AB for 60 yrs, and still do. Great $$ value, even tho "back in the day" a ticket cost $7.50!! Seriously!! But times change, but this mtn stays one of the best for the serious skier. One of the first to open and for sure! the last one to close in Spring. I skiied 2 times in June at this place! What a riot! Ski, get a burger at mid-mtn, and do it again!
Beautiful mtn for snow and views
cant think of any!

Love the mix of steeps and trees and the food at mid-mountain is excellent and at a good price.
great selection of steep terrain
Parking can be difficult if it is an extremely busy day

A-Basin as an awesome ski resort, especially if you are a local and want a place with more community.
