Your questions about Beaver Creek, answered

A base above 5,906ft is high by Alpine standards, so the runs back to the village hold their snow better than at lower resorts.

Beaver Creek trail map
The official Beaver Creek trail map, published by Beaver Creek Resort. It shows every run, lift and sector across 150 trails served by 25 lifts, from 8,120ft at the base to 11,444ft at the summit.

Always check the resort's live trail status before setting off. Runs shown on a map are not necessarily open, and backcountry terrain is never patrolled unless the map says so.
