THE SKIING:

Beaver Creek Mountain is famous for its immaculately groomed corduroy wide cruisers. Bachelor’s Gulch boasts an intermediate oasis with plenty of cruisers as well as more advanced terrain for those who enjoy playing in the powder amongst the abundant Aspens. The Talons area consists of three lifts that access 14 black and double black diamond runs. The split is approximately 19% beginner, 43% intermediate and 38% advanced/expert. You will find beginner/intermediate groomed cruisers every day. Boarders, ski bikes, telemark and cross-country skiers are welcome at Beaver Creek!

Beaver Creek's newest addition is McCoy Park. The third in a series of signature parks, McCoy Park adds 14 beginner and 3 intermediate runs served by two new quad lifts. Its groomers and glades are meant to mimic the setting of advanced trails, giving practicing skiers the chance to ski a bowl without throwing them into terrain they may be uncomfortable with.
