Beaver Creek

With its stone gate-house at the entrance, Beaver Creek feels more like a country club than a resort. And the amenities and services won’t let you down. Purpose built for skiing, Beaver Creek is easy to get around and the lift lines tend to be short. There’s something for everyone within this 1832 acre park, from the beginners’ area at the top of the mountain, to intermediate slopes and more challenging terrain for the experts. Off the mountain enjoy ice skating, shops, restaurants and bars as well as a plethora of high-end experiences.

Accommodation Beaver Creek

There are plenty of accommodation options to suit your needs and your budget at Beaver Creek. Luxurious, high end hotels and condos tend to be situated in the heart of Beaver Creek Village where there’s immediate access to the mountain. Bachelor Gulch is home to the expansive Ritz-Carlton hotel, as well as ski-in ski-out condos dotted throughout the ridgeline. At the bottom of the mountain, you can find more affordable accommodation in Avon and Arrowhead. The small community of Avon offers chain stores and a few restaurants, and while the mountain is accessible via chairlifts, it is removed from the main action.

Skiing & Boarding

From Beaver Creek Village you can access three mountains – Beaver Creek, Grouse Mountain and Arrowhead – all serviced by 11 fast quad chairs and two gondolas.
Beaver Creek, with its terrain below the snowline, offers plenty of beginner-only trails. Dedicated family and slow zones provide first-timers with the opportunity to hone their skills in peace, while super-fun Kids' Adventure Zones, scattered throughout the mountain are a huge attraction for the kids. Beaver Creek also offers loads of challenge for intermediates with fantastic tree skiing and fresh tracks.
Grouse Mountain takes it up to advanced / expert skiers and snowboarders. Featuring 26,000 feet of vertical across black and double-black diamond runs, there’s also plenty of hidden tree skiing in the Stickline glades to keep you occupied. Stone Creek’s cliffs, chutes, and 45 degree pitches will have you digging in your edges or with a quick traverse, you’ll discover spectacular backcountry runs that will lead you back to the resort.
