One of America’s finest ski resorts, Beaver Creek is a feast for the eyes and a delight for the senses. Synonymous with luxury and opulence, and tantamount to the European resort of St Moritz, Beaver Creek has adopted the slogan, “Not Exactly Roughing It” and has applied itself with utmost conviction to ensure that this saying rings through those who visit this majestic resort.
INTRODUCTION
Borne from the success and popularity of the nearby resort of Vail, the pioneering vision of settler George Townsend in 1881 finally came into fruition in 1980 when the completion of a resort that was to gracefully combine Western hospitality with European charm was propelled onto the North American Ski scene. If Vail is your St Anton, then Beaver Creek will be your Lech & Zurs. From the moment guests pass through the gateway into this magical resort, luxury awaits your every turn – intimate and quaint boutiques, art galleries, bars and restaurants, all conveniently connected via heated walkways and outdoor escalators. Service is seamless, elegance expected and privacy paramount. Beaver Creek is the Principal of true Rocky Mountain paradises.
The affluence of Beaver Creek is not just limited to its village; it cascades out onto the Mountainside and ensures that this impressive combination of luxury and exhilaration is like nowhere else on the continent. With 1,800 acres, 10 high-speed quads, 148 trails and a World Cup race course this mountain is a skier’s Shangri-La. Originally designed to accommodate skiers of all abilities, Beaver Creek Mountain continues to welcome and challenge those who visit her slopes. From the gentle groomed runs of Strawberry Park to the rugged glades and bump runs of Grouse Mountain, Beaver Creek’s terrain succeeds in consistently coddling or challenging as needed.
Combining legendary Colorado powder, 300 days of sunshine and a famously proactive attitude in ensuring your family ski holiday is hassle-free, it’s no wonder Beaver Creek has become Colorado’s most exciting resorts.
