Each year the crew from Mervin’s Denver office takes to A-Basin for a day on snow with drinks, BBQ and games.  Once I knew the date, I marked it off on my calendar and planned for the day off from work to come enjoy the festivities with friends.  I made my way into Denver last [...]

My last day at A-Basin happened to be on Mervin Day which was a lot of fun to partake in with theBBQ, snowboarding and pond skimming.   Here’s my write up on the day and from the video it looks like I missed out on swimsuit Dan taking the plunge many times in the icy [...]

It was a much needed ride day before the family arrives in town for my surgery, so I headed to A-Basin to finally end the season there.  It was great timing since today the Lib Tech Denver office peeps were having their end of season shred party on the mountain which is always a good [...]

My last day at A-Basin has arrived and today was a great day to end out the season.  I stayed in Breckenridge last night and scoped up the halfpipe but it’s no longer rideable so that wasn’t an option for today.  This morning I met up with the crew (Lauren, Adrian and Xavier) for breakfast [...]

A-Basin continues their operations till June 7th this year, but my time riding there is winding down as this is my last weekend on snow.  Once I’m cleared from surgery I’ll be riding Breck’s 4th of July Bowl and St. Mary’s Glacier in Colorado but this is it for A-Basin. At 9am, the snow was [...]

A-Basin is the last resort standing in Colorado now and quite the popular resort for a mix of snowboarding and hanging on the beach (drinking and BBQ’ing). It’s a 1.5 drive from Steamboat so I made the trek to meet up with Lauren, Adrian and Xavier to ride for the day. The sunshine came out [...]

The morning started out at A-Basin where I met up with Becky and Bru to ride for the day.  We expected that A-Basin would be less crowded than the openings of Breck and Keystone.   It is a bummer that Vail Resorts only allowed their employees to ride at A-basin when Breck and Keystone were [...]

Today was closing day here at A-Basin Colorado. It’s June and last night it snowed 2 inches. I understand this is Colorado, higher elevation and I should be used to it…but it still amazes me. K and I arrived at A-Basin pretty early to find that it snowed more than a light flurry, it was [...]

It’s the closing weekend here at A-Basin so I came down to enjoy some last turns with friends. None of the Steamboat friends made it down so I hit up the mountain with K and TJ. The snow is still holding up but we got first glimpses of brush showing through. It is heavy and [...]

Shredding Part 1 Tom and I made the trek down this morning to ride A-Basin. It finally seems like spring riding now, slushy and sunny everyday! We pulled up to A-Basin and even the crowds are dying down meaning you can park in the main lot after 10am. The snow coverage is holding up but [...]
