Printable VersionWelcome to Beaver Creek.
Founded in 1970 by Vail’s creator, Beaver Creek originally became an offshoot of Vail’s skiing success. Slated to be home to the 1976 Olympics before Colorado lost the bid for it that year, Beaver Creek has enjoyed immense success as a ski town and boasts more difficult slopes for those seeking a challenge. Beaver Creek now attracts people from all over the globe to its slopes when the snow flies and its streets in the heat of summer.
Located just 8 miles from Vail, you’ll find a quaint mountain atmosphere here any time of year you decide to visit. A short drive from Avon, Eagle and Vail, what you can’t find within the town of Beaver Creek, you’ll find a very short drive away.
