Ski Resort Information, Ski Holidays to Beaver Creek
Beaver CreekVail is one of America’s largest and most prestigious resorts reminding many British visitors of a classic Swiss Alpine Village rather than the more typical cowboy populated North American resort.
The resort is vast at more than 7 miles wide covering more than 5,000 acres of terrain and with more than 350 inches of snow providing some excellent powder for both skiers and boarders alike. Being the USA it has very a very efficient lift and bus service linking the front side, Back Bowls & Blue Sky Basin – all integral part of the Vail experience.
The Front Side alone boasts more than 127 trails, with virtually every type of terrain. Then there's the legendary Back Bowls which are revered by boarders and offering an unparalleled powder paradise. And for a true adventure experience, Blue Sky Basin, 645 acres of natural, smooth terrain - nestled more than 2 miles into the wilderness.
Beaver Creek itself shares the same terrain but the village itself is much smaller than Vail. Apres Ski is subdued compared to Vail, which can be reached easily. There are a few bars and nice restaurants.
Geographically, Vail is located 2½ hours away from Denver international airport where most of the UK operators fly. This compares very favorably to most European airport to resort transfers.
