The Deets

February 25th, 2024

Benefitting Children’s Hospital of Colorado, Tuxskido is the only event of its kind (we’re pretty sure). Fundraiser / formal soiree / ski & board day, we’re raising money for the Heart Institute at Children’s, where our precious kiddo Lola was born. The Institute is full of actual heroes, and we’re proud to support their mission of saving kids’ lives every single day.

For 3 straight years now, we’ve straight BROUGHT IT to A Basin. This year, we’re PUMPED to host the 2024 version at “The Beach” at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area on February 25th The day will be full of outdoor fun, sun, pithy ski puns, a donation giveaway from some of Colorado’s most iconic brands, and more. Can’t wait to ski you there!

Agenda:

Meet at the beach whenever you arrive, and we’ll have a Tuxedo T-Shirt with your name on it (minimum $100 donation).

8:30am is when first chair runs - showing up anytime thereafter is great.

Ski. Board. Sled for all we care. Enjoy the snow and Zuma down the mountain!

FAQs:

  1. Do I need a ticket in advance?

    1. Yes. If you plan to hit the slopes, you must buy your ticket in advance as reservations are required at A-Basin. A few different ticket options exist, but the simplest way is to reserve ahead here. Consider it an early birthday gift to yourself.

  2. Can I rent skis or snowboard?

    1. Yes, you can rent gear at A Bain ahead of time here.

  3. Should I rent gear somewhere else?

    1. Sure, it saves costs and maybe time standing in line. But you risk convenience of not having to lug your stuff from your car to the mountain and back.

  4. What to wear?

    1. This is a black tie event, so dress appropriateski. (Tuxedo T-Shirts go to those who donate $100 or more). The fanskier, the better.

    2. Bundle up in a couple layers if you plan on summiting, and it’ll likely be sunny as heck so bring the sun cream.

    3. Goggles, gloves, helmet, snowpants, snow-friendly jacket, in addition to snowboard/skis, boots, poles and a helmet.

  5. Should I take a lesson if I am out of date or never done it?

    1. Yes. Yes, yes, yes. Its the best way to quickly get better and enjoy your time on the mountain. Half-day and full day options exist, including group options. Here / aqui / 여기 .

    2. Where should I stay?

      1. Places in the towns of Keystone, Dillon, Silverthorne, and Frisco are probably your best bets! There is nowhere to stay on the mountain at A Basin.

La Playa

Arapahoe Basin's Early Riser parking lot is home to a stretch of prime real estate known as "The Beach." The Beach backs up to the three lower mountain chairlifts and is the perfect spot to kick back between runs with family and friends. It's a scene unique to the Basin, and a guaranteed good time!
