Group Travel Planning to Beaver Creek

If you stumble upon an après party in Beaver Creek you’ll likely see the toasts done with champagne instead of beer.  Beaver Creeks slogan of “not exactly roughing it” fits well.  The gated ski resort can be thought of as a step up from Vail’s already upscale charm. 

Beaver creek was designed as a village set around a ski resort whereas most ski resorts were built around an already existing town, therefore the overwhelming majority properties in Beaver Creek are ski-in/ski-out. 

The resort consists of two areas; Bachelor Gulch and Beaver Creek.  Bachelor gulch was built most recently so all the condos tend to be newer and more updated on a consistent basis.  Although still a baby in ski resort years, Beaver Creek is a bit older than Bachelor Gulch but if you are looking to be close to the off mountain activities then Beaver Creek Village is the place.  Numerous shops and restaurants encircle an upscale outdoor ice rink in the posh village.  Both areas, or neighborhoods, access the same mountain from different sides although ski school only exists in Beaver Creek.

For those who want to experience Beaver Creek’s quality but save some on the price try Arrowhead Village or the town of Avon.  Just outside of Beaver Creek, Arrowhead Village has its own chair lift to keep you close proximity to the slopes.  A small handful of properties can be found in the town of Avon, some of which are a short walk to the gondola.
