Beaver Creek may only be 20 years old, but it is a very sophisticated youngster, and is very exclusive and very expensive. Snow is consistent, and should it dare not to fall, Beaver Creek will make is own, as the snow making potential is great. The slopes offer mainly intermediate levels, although it does have its share of black trails and moguls.
The 1999 Downhill and Super Giant Slalom World Championships were held in Beaver Creek, so there definitely are slopes with challenge available. High-class hotels, luxury shopping, and very exclusive restaurants suggest visitors came prepared with fully charged Gold Cards.
