Arapahoe Basin is going all-in on Ikon. Starting next winter, full Ikon Pass holders will have unlimited access to A-Basin, marking the first time since 2019 the resort has offered unrestricted access to a multi-resort pass.
Previously, Ikon Pass users were limited to 7 days per season at the independently owned ski area. Ikon Base Pass holders will still be capped at 5 days.
The change comes as A-Basin rolls out its 2025-26 pass and pack products, now available for purchase at arapahoebasin.com. The move positions A-Basin—famous for its long season, expert terrain, and high-alpine vibe—as a major draw for Ikon users looking to chase spring snow well into May and beyond.
Also returning for 2025-26: the resort’s parking reservation system, which will remain in effect on weekends and holidays from mid-December to early May. According to A-Basin, the system has successfully reduced congestion and kept Loveland Pass clear. According to a spokesperson from the resort, of March 6 A-Basin has seen:
- 0 days that contributed to unsafe highway conditions on Loveland Pass
- 0 people turned away from A-Basin due to parking and highway problems
- 3 riders per vehicle on Saturdays and Sundays. Up from 1.8 in 2022/23.
- 42.2% of all skiers & riding arriving sustainably on Saturdays and Sundays via carpool, EV, Summit Stage, or Snowstang
In addition to the Ikon news, A-Basin’s own season pass lineup is live, including:
-
A-Basin Season Pass ($659) with benefits like:
- Up to $50 in online credit
