Arapahoe Basin opened the Pallavicini Chair for the season on Saturday, January 10, with operations expected around midday. The lift provides access to Grizzly Road, West Wall, and Slalom Slope, plus limited openings on Challenger, Scudder, and Radical. Limited openings allow ski patrol to open terrain temporarily before re-closing it to preserve snow quality while expanding expert terrain access safely and sustainably. Pallavicini serves exclusively advanced and expert runs and is known locally as The Center of the Universe. The zone has hosted the A-Basin Enduro for three decades. Recent snowfall of about four inches improves conditions for a strong weekend and the expert season.
