Vail's exceptional sibling resort 20 minutes west — less crowded, impeccably groomed, with the legendary Bird of Prey World Cup downhill and the most refined village in Colorado ski country.
Why It’s Worth Your Time
Beaver Creek is one of the finest ski resorts in North America and wildly underrated relative to Vail. The resort uses terrain management to keep lift lines short; the slopes are impeccably groomed; and the European-style village of Avon is intimate and beautifully maintained. The Birds of Prey course is used for World Cup racing and is open to the public on designated days — a terrifying and exhilarating experience. Epic Pass covers both Vail and Beaver Creek. Shuttle from Vail takes 20 minutes.
