A-Basin is phenomenal for intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders!! I've ridden most of Summit County and still consider this place the best of them all. Great terrain all over the place!!! You can access a ton of really fun terrains by any lift. If you're up for a steep bowl, just get off the main lift and strap on your snowshoes! There's a great trail to the left that leads right up to a peak. This is great, steep and deep if you're up for it. Bomb the fresh snow or carve out some giant flowing curves. Very smooth ride. And if you're not up to it, at least you can watch others brave it in full view from the lift. In the Spring, a ton of locals just hang out in the parking lot and barbeque! It's like a beach party. In fact, they call the front part of the lot...what else?? THE BEACH! Kegs and foosball are a local delight on those beautiful Spring days. So pack 'em up and move 'em out! This place is usually open until July 4!!!!!
