Beaver Creek Ski Resort offers breathtaking alpine scenery and premier recreational opportunities in the heart of Colorado’s Rocky Mountains. It is luxurious, yet it is extremely family friendly with perfectly groomed trails, 150 of them, and nearly two thousand skiable acres served by two dozen state of the art lifts and gondolas. The ride up on the gondolas is like nothing we've ever seen, and so much higher up than we realized with jaw-dropping views.
There are also so many little things they do at Beaver Creek, which make you feel incredibly welcome, like walking around with homemade chocolate chip cookies every afternoon. And showing spectacular fireworks once a week... the backdrop of snow-covered evergreens is something you can't imagine until you experience it in person. So many delightful extras included for your pleasure.
What we fell in love with is the heart and soul of what makes Beaver Creek so perfect... the Village. Heated sidewalks ensure that no visitor walks around town in snow, and much-appreciated escalators are scattered throughout, making it easier with or without ski boots. Adorable shops and restaurants surrounding two wonderful ice skating rinks really set the tone. These thoughtful, extra touches make Beaver Creek what it is... a winter paradise.No other U.S. ski resort offers the diversity of terrain (beginners, intermediates, bump skiers, high-speed carvers), spas, restaurants, and such an array of things to do while still providing an intimate experience. Combine your trip to with a day of skiing at Vail (lift tickets are accepted there!) or a shopping/dining excursion to Avon, but there is no need to ever leave unless you desire a change. This will be our new, yearly trip!
The Charter At Beaver Creek.
Look no further than this spectacular resort. Situated in the heart of the Beaver Creek Ski Resort, they are recognized by Condé Nast as a top 50 ski hotel. This European-inspired property is considered one of Colorado’s best lodging options. The Charter at Beaver Creek invites guests to experience the finest in mountain hospitality and luxury. Charter at Beaver Creek has every amenity you desire. A wonderful indoor pool, (seasonal) outdoor pool, outdoor jacuzzi (perfect for relaxing and breathing in the cold, fresh air after a day of skiing), the perfect spa and fitness gym, pool tables, two restaurants (The Terrace and Black Diamond Bistro), a 24-hour front desk, concierge, bell staff, and full meeting and catering services.
Accommodations at The Charter include luxury hotel rooms and individually owned 1- to 5-bedroom condominiums.and an arcade. The woodsy condos are beautiful, cozy, and truly a home away from home. They are equipped with everything you would need... free Wi-Fi, cable, TV, DVD player, a full kitchen, and washer/dryer. Take the five-minute drive down the mountain and fill up the fridge, whether it's for snacks, breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The two-bedroom unit we had was huge and the 2.5 bathrooms made for an easy, stressless vacation. Set on Beaver Creek, The Charter offers ski-in/ski-out access (weather permitting) as well as a very short walk to the ski lifts if Elkhorn chairlift is closed. Renting skis or snowboards is simple and so convenient. Just walk over to Beaver Creek's ski resort, choose skis from one of the many rental facilities, get fit, and you're on your way. You can even store them there for even less hassles. However, if you're going to Vail you'll want to take them with you.What we loved most is the short walk it took to Beaver Creek Village where you can delight in snowshoeing, snowmobiling, sleigh rides, ice skating (loved these, right in the middle of the restaurants and shops), dining, awesome weekly firework displays and fireside chats. There's also plenty of shopping to satisfy your needs (see above for more info).
