Bluebird Backcountry, CO has announced a new partnership with Arapahoe Basin, CO for the 2021/22 season. The agreement opens up substantial benefits for season passholders at both ski areas.
“We know how much Colorado skiers—uphillers and downhillers—love A-Basin. It’s a wonderful pairing. Both areas have great terrain and a grassroots, family-friendly scene. And even the most dedicated backcountry skiers want to ride a chairlift or two once in a while.”
– Bluebird Backcountry Co-founder Erik Lambert
Bluebird Backcountry 21/22 season passholders will receive two free lift tickets—with no reservations or blackout dates—to Arapahoe Basin in 21/22. Guests who purchase a Bluebird season pass this month also will receive a voucher for 50% off a ski day at Arapahoe Basin this spring before their famously long season ends. (The ski area projects a closing date in June 2021.)
Arapahoe Basin 21/22 season passholders, in turn, are eligible for two free day passes at Bluebird Backcountry, redeemable on any open weekday (Monday, Thursday, or Friday) during the 21/22 season.
“Bluebird appeals to anyone that wants to wander around the hills on their skis or snowboard. Not only is there beginner-friendly terrain, but they offer equipment rentals and a wide variety of lessons, clinics, women’s clinics, and avalanche courses. The vibe of the place is welcoming and incredible.”
– Arapahoe Basin Chief Operating Officer Alan Henceroth
Naw, real dedicated backcountry skiiers want nothing to do with chairlifts
