The Beach: All Spring
During the spring (and most of the year for that matter), the lot fills up with tailgaters who come for a non-official, do-it-yourself bash at 10,780 feet, where die-hard skiers indulge in a marathon of partying in the parking lot, lovingly known as the Beach. The Basin not only boasts one of Colorado's longest seasons, it also has one of the state's rowdiest spring scenes.http://www.arapahoebasin.com/ target=_blank> http://www.arapahoebasin.com
