Beaver CreekVail Resorts' 1980-built sister mountain at 8,100 feet — 2,082 skiable acres, the Birds of Prey World Cup downhill course, the Vilar Performing Arts Center, and the famous 3 p.m. chocolate-chip cookie hour at the lift bases

Beaver Creek opened in December 1980 as Vail Resorts' second mountain — 10 miles west of Vail Village, 110 miles west of Denver on I-70, and the only American ski resort with a heated escalator from the day-skier parking lot up to Centennial Express. The 2,082 skiable acres span three connected peaks: Beaver Creek itself climbing to the Spruce Saddle Lodge at 9,840 feet, the Birds of Prey World Cup downhill course off Lift 5, the cruiser-favorite Centennial bowl on Lift 6, and the high-mountain Grouse Mountain Express to McCoy Park's groomed-cat-track expert terrain. Bachelor Gulch's Ritz-Carlton sits at the eastern village edge, and Arrowhead's quieter base is the western anchor with its own gondola.

Our rentals run from luxury slope-side condos at Townsend Place and the Charter at Beaver Creek (steps from Lift 6), to ski-in/ski-out townhomes at Bachelor Gulch off the McCoy Park lift, to the larger Kiva and Borders Lodge condo product on the Plaza level, to the Arrowhead-base condos along Cresta Road. Most properties are within a 5-minute walk of a lift base or chairlift; the bigger Bachelor Gulch homes trade Plaza walkability for Ritz-Carlton-side ski-in/ski-out access.
