Comments (0) Best Beach - 2008
Arapahoe Basin
Who needs sand and water when you've got snow and sunshine? The Beach at A-Basin is simply the place where snow meets parking lot, but it's become a legend in its own right. In years gone by, it was a venue for wild parties as people camped and tailgated overnight to get first tracks in the morning. It's said that people even pulled stunts like hiking up the mountain with a couch on skis. The scene has mellowed since then — you can't camp out anymore — but you can reserve a parking spot. So when spring comes, it's an idyllic place to pull in, turn up the stereo, set up your lawn chairs and grill, throw a couple of beers on ice — or snow — and spend a day at the beach.
