Arapahoe Basin, Colorado.

Some of the best turns at Arapahoe Basin require a little extra effort. After a series of winter storms delivered excellent snow conditions, skiers make their way up the iconic staircase on the East Wall, earning access to some of the resort's most sought-after terrain.

There's something special about these moments on a powder day: the anticipation of fresh turns, the line of skiers making their way uphill, and the shared excitement of knowing what's waiting at the top.

At A-Basin, sometimes the best part of the day starts with the climb.
