Beaver Creek Ski Resort is the "quieter side" of the Vail Valley. Although this may be true, you can't take anything away from this full-scale, world-class ski resort. Along with one of the best skiing experiences available, Beaver Creek also offers some of the most luxurious accommodation available. A stunning feature of the mountain is the high-speed quad lift that brings together Beaver Creek and Arrowhead Village.

This Colorado ski resort was built with the intention of supplying a mountain to accommodate all skill levels and all ages. Even today, Beaver Creek caters to beginners as well as to experts and professionals. No matter what skill level you're at, Beaver Creek is sure to provide a fun and unforgettable time.
A man by the name of George Townsend first settled in Beaver Creek Valley in 1881, knowing immediately he had stumbled upon something out of the ordinary. Vail purchased the land in 1972 and began the process of building what is now a world-class resort. The dream became a reality in 1980, which is the date Beaver Creek Ski Resort opened to the public.
