Hello Harb Ski Campers!

We hope that you are enjoying your summer, and starting to think about the upcoming winter and ski season. If you are planning your lodging during the Arapahoe Basin Tech Camp, here is some information.

You may lodge anywhere you like during the camp. There is no lodging at Arapahoe Basin itself. The closest lodging options are at Keystone, about 10 minutes away. Most campers stay in Summit county - Keystone, Silverthorne, and Dillon. Those locations are all within a 20-minute drive of the ski area. It's easiest to get around if you have a car.

No Car? Ride Share
If you will not have a car during camp, then we recommend that you stay at Keystone. You can shuttle there from the airport, there are several dining options within walking distance, and there is bus service from Keystone to Arapahoe Basin. The only concern with this method is that in snowy weather, the bus service may be canceled. If you are coming to camp without a car, please post on the forum that you need to share a ride. Hopefully there's another camper with a car who will share with you.

Alignment Pre-days
If you are arriving early for camp and wish to have an indoor alignment session done prior to camp, we do have openings at our shop on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, Nov. 10-12. [The shop is directly on your way from the airport to Keystone, but you'll need to have a car to come there.] Please call or e-mail us by late October if you wish to schedule a pre-day appointment (if you indicated it on your enrollment form, you don’t need to tell us again.) We’ll get in touch with you about two weeks before camp to schedule an appointment time.

Lift Tickets - Important!
Please remember when you book your lodging that we and Arapahoe Basin expect you to get group rate lift tickets through us for the camp (unless you have a season pass). Please do not purchase lift tickets with your lodging. Group ticket rates for '12-'13 are approximately $50/day. If you are 70 or older, you can get a discounted season pass for $TBD [$75 in ‘11-’12].

Keystone Resort Lodging
Keystone Resort has many lodging options, from hotel to condo to cabin to B&B, all accessible on their web site. You can book lodging at Keystone online or by phone

If you have any questions, please send us an e-mail or call us at the shop.

Sincerely,

Diana Rogers
V.P., Harb Ski Systems

Not sure about most people, but I've stayed at the Arapahoe Inn which is across from Keystone on Rt. 6...basic acommodations but no kitchen/kitchenette (6 miles,10 minutes from A-Basin). However I prefer staying at one of the many condos in the area. I recommend searching on VRBO.com to find a place in Dillon or Silverthorne (12 miles, 20 minutes from A-Basin). I was able to reserve a 1-bedroom unit with fully equipped kitchen for less than the rates at the Arapahoe Inn. You can find condos at Keystone but rates are higher.

We usually stay in Dillon (check out Lake Cliffe Condos ) or Dillon Valley East. You can check out condos on VRBO Colorado.

one more thought; if you have any issues sleeping at elevation, then Dillon sits lower than Keystone
