Receiving an astonishing 27+ feet of snow each year on average, the Beaver Creek Resort offers a stellar wealth of varied terrain sometimes overlooked in the discussion of great ski mountains. Beaver Creek Mountain is famous for its intermediate and advanced, immaculately groomed corduroy cruisers. Bachelor’s Gulch boasts an intermediate oasis with plenty of cruisers as well as more advanced gladed terrain for those who enjoy playing in the powder amongst the abundant Aspens. The Talons area consists of three lifts that access 14 black and double black diamond runs where one can find more than their fill of leg-burning bumps or tackle the vaunted “Birds of Prey” World Cup downhill course. As a testament to this terrain, Beaver Creek was host to the 2015 FIS Alpine World Championships, its 3rd nod to host this iconic event. Kids and beginners enjoy their own separate groomed beginner area known as the “Haymaker” nicely accessorized with “The Buckaroo Express” gondola. Beginners also have unique access to beginner terrain at the top of the mountain serviced by the user-friendly Cinch and Drink of Water Lifts. On the extreme side, Rose Bowl is where you will find the Stone Chutes that will challenge even the most advanced skiers. In total, Beaver Creek offers a robust 1,832 skiable acres judiciously divided between 19% “Beginner”, 43% “Intermediate”, 21% “Advanced”, 12% “Expert”, and 5% “Extreme”. The resort also boasts an impressive 3,300 vertical feet, 150 runs, and 26 lifts to efficiently service it all.
