Beaver Creek is Voted Best Guest Service in the Country by the National Ski Areas Association for the 3rd Consecutive Year

Teaching Kids to Turn Beaver Creek® introduces The Ranch, a state-of-the-art children’s ski and snowboard school that will revolutionize the way kids learn to turn. The 4,000 square foot, on-mountain center is located at the top of the Buckaroo Express Gondola and is surrounded by premier beginner learning terrain. The center’s picture windows will allow parents to discreetly view their kids learning to ski and ride on customized slopes designed to facilitate the correct body movements. Parents can also rest easy knowing their kids will have healthy and fresh food options at lunchtime. Coleman Natural® meat, Horizon Organic® dairy and a yogurt bar will be served as part of Vail Resorts’ Appetite for Life initiative. The Ranch is a key part of Beaver Creek’s commitment to offer a top family vacation experience. Last winter, the resort introduced the kid-friendly Buckaroo gondola, a customized learning area and terrain park, as well as complimentary family programs each evening.

Beaver Creek Resort Launches BeaverCreekExtreme.com to Highlight Resort’s “Other Side” Beaver Creek is commonly recognized for its impeccable grooming and incredible beginner and intermediate terrain. Now, the resort is proud to highlight and showcase “the other side of the mountain” through a new microsite, beavercreekextreme.com. The new microsite identifies the mountain’s vast variety of adventurous and most challenging terrain including “EX” designated extreme terrain in Stone Creek Chutes, steep tree runs in Royal Elk Glade, 13 black and double black diamond trails that encompass the Talons Challenge and its topto-bottom progressive terrain park system including The Rodeo, a new pro level park that was completed this past summer.

With the addition of Stone Creek Chutes terrain in 2006, the short steep chutes offer in bounds excitement complete with 45 degree pitches, adrenaline pumping drops, rugged cliffs and deep snow. Others opt for Royal Elk Glade known for its steep, gladed trees, open meadows and great powder.

The micro site incorporates pictures, videos and tips for each of these areas along with a safety message.

New this winter, the resort hoists “BC/EX” flags at the top of the Centennial Express Lift (Chair 6) to let expert skiers and riders know if Stone Creek Chutes and Royal Elk Glade are open before reaching the gates in both areas. The flags also are a part of the Beaver Creek Extreme campaign to raise awareness of the resort’s varied skiing and snowboarding offerings. When the flags are flying, these areas are open.

Expect to be pampered during a visit to Beaver Creek. Embracing the resort’s “Not Exactly Roughing It” tagline, more than 150 mountain hosts are committed to providing the highest level of guest service in the ski industry. In fact, Beaver Creek Resort holds the title of Best Customer Service of any ski resort in the country, as awarded by the National Ski Areas Association. Look for hosts to maximize your enjoyment on the mountain and in the village by greeting you, helping to carry equipment, providing grooming reports and local’s tips, and leading free mountain welcome tours each day. At the end of the day, reward yourself with a fresh chocolate chip cookie served daily by Cookie Time chefs, and tell your friends about your amazing day on the slopes—we’ll mail a Beaver Creek collector postcard anywhere in the world, free of charge.
