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.
