About the A-Basin Lodge – “The structure (A-Frame Lodge) was originally built by Stanley Aviation in Aurora, next to the old Stapleton Airport. In the 1960s, we had a contract to design, build, and test an escape capsule for the Air Force B-58 bomber. Part of the testing involved simulating the capsule landing under a parachute (with the airman inside) onto concrete and dirt, and into water. The A-Frame (and it was just a timber frame) had a monorail along the ridge beam which allowed us to drop the capsule from a height, and with a horizontal velocity, that simulated a parachute landing onto/into these three surfaces. Later, the capsule was successfully tested by ejection from a rocket sled with an animal subject and finally from an aircraft with a human subject.” Gordon Valentine –Stanley Aviation 1953-87 –Arapahoe Basin Ski Patrol 1969-87 Lunch served Friday − Monday 11am until 4pm APPETIZERS
