UPDATED:

Arapahoe Basin will be open for two more weekends of skiing and riding, resort officials announced Monday in setting a new closing date of June 16.

That would give The Legend Colorado’s longest ski season — as usual — having begun on Oct. 29 and lasting 222 days.

The area will be closed Monday through Wednesday the next two weeks but will be open Friday through Sunday. Live music is planned for closing day.

Lifts run 8:30 a.m. until 2 p.m. The 6th Alley bar is open from 11 a.m. unti 3 p.m. Details are available on the Arapahoe Basin website.

Looking forward, guided wildflower hikes will be offered every other Monday beginning July 8, and mountaintop yoga classes will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays beginning July 9 from 10-11 a.m.at Black Mountain Lodge.
