Did I mention that everyday after ski school at 3pm warm chocolate chip cookies are served at the base of the mountain?

to & from
Fly into Denver, rent an SUV with optional ski rack, and drive 130 miles west on I-70. We often stop for a bite at Tommyknocker Brewery in Idaho Springs which is about an hour into the drive from the airport. It’s a good way to break up the trip.
You can also fly directly into Eagle and drive east 30 minutes to BC.
Where to Stay
We stay at Creekside at Beaver Creek. They offer 2-4 bedroom units with full kitchens and great amenities such as ski-in/ski-out access to the mountain, a newly renovated locker room and ski storage area, a large covered outdoor hot tub, and a parking garage. While you can catch the free shuttle into the village, it is close enough to walk.
