A Quietly Sophisticated Colorado Ski Town
Nestled in the heart of Colorado's central Rocky Mountain range, Beaver Creek is a quieter, less-crowded alternative to Vail—with just as much sophistication and beauty. Like Vail, the village borrows architectural stylings from Europe, specifically Switzerland’s St. Moritz and Italy’s Cortina. Skiers here enjoy the finer things: Escalators effortlessly whisk them from the village to the slopes and warm chocolate chip cookies—served up alfresco on a platter by a concierge—await when they finish their final runs. In the warmer months, hiking and mountain biking trails reveal aspen glades, vibrant wildflowers, and sweeping alpine views.

Forecasting Your Beaver Creek Vacation
Because of Beaver Creek’s elevation (the town sits at 8,100 feet above sea level), the ski town enjoys ample snowfall in the winter months, which typically blankets the slopes in fresh powder from November through early April. There are plenty of bluebird winter days with bright sunshine. In the summer, warm breezes often usher in afternoon rain and you can expect a slight chill when the sun sets.
