Arapahoe Basin Ski Area just announced Ikon Pass access change ahead of the 2025-26 winter season to allow skiers and riders on its base pass more days on its slopes.

The Ikon Base Pass will now offer unlimited early season skiing and riding at A-Basin from opening day through Friday, Dec. 19. The resort plans to open as soon as possible this season.

The unlimited early season access days will not count against the 5-day limit for skiing at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area on Ikon Base Pass. Now Ikon Base Pass holders will have a 5-day limit for skiing at Arapahoe Basin from Dec. 20 to closing day.



This comes after full Ikon Pass holders were granted unlimited days at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area after the mountain was bought by Alterra Mountain Co.
