Arapahoe Basin
A Basin. The highest summit on this scoreboard at 13,050 feet, famous for a long spring season, the Pallavicini chair, and the parking lot scene called the Beach.
On the ground at Loveland Basin SNOTEL: 1 in
Expected next 4 days: 2.4 to 4.6 in (NWS forecast)
Current snow checked November 3, 2026. New snow, base, and season figures are resort reported. On the ground is the nearest SNOTEL station reading. Expected snowfall comes from the National Weather Service.
How the scoreboard covers Arapahoe Basin
- Resort reported numbers. New snow, base depth, and season totals for Arapahoe Basin come from the hill itself: Official snow report. When the hill has not posted, the scoreboard says so instead of guessing.
- Snow quality check. Inches are only half the story, so the scoreboard checks snow water and depth at the Loveland Basin SNOTEL station (602:CO:SNTL). The station pick has not yet been confirmed against the NRCS station map, and the scoreboard labels it that way.
- Expected snowfall. The Thursday outlook uses National Weather Service forecast data for this hill's location, and the Monday edition checks what actually fell against it.
