If World Cup racers refer to Beaver Creek as their favorite place to compete, maybe there is something you should know.
Every year, athletes and spectators alike migrate to our mountain top resort for the Birds of Prey Men's World Cup. But that is only a slice of what Beaver Creek has to offer. From the gentle, manicured slopes of Bachelor Gulch, to the open intermediate trails of Larkspur and Rose Bowl, to the steep bumps of Grouse Mountain, skiers and riders of all abilities will feel at home on our mountain.
At Beaver Creek grooming is our passion. We groom twenty hours a day, seven days a week. Fifty-two operators work ten-hour shifts at 11,000ft. behind a turbo-charged diesel engine. The result, 805 groomed acres a day or a total of 106,000 acres per season of pure corduroy for your skiing pleasure. After you enjoy the sweetest, softest terrain in North America, don't forget about those groomers taking their 3am lunch break to get the mountain ready for tomorrow.
