Destination:
Arapahoe Basin
Overnight Parking – As far as I know you can just sleep in the parking lot in your own vomit. If not, see Frisco.
Bathing – Frisco
Happy Hours – Just get drunk in the parking lot with everyone else
Coffee – Who knows, if you’re gonna go to Arapahoe you have this figured out.
Miscellaneous – “The Legend” is a distinctly locals mountain who eschew the trapping of the Alterra corporate life. Regardless, they give us 5 or 7 days here so we might as well go. It’s also typically the last hill to close in the season for that area.
