Beaver Creek has skiing for all abilities, and the novelty of being able to ski over to Arrowhead or Bachelor Gulch base areas. You can, of course, also ski at the other resorts owned by Vail - Vail itself, Breckenridge and Keystone, as well as at independent Arapahoe Basin on the same pass. The resort has around 150 trails which largely consist of excellent cruising terrain through the trees, ideal for intermediates at all levels. The terrain is loosely divided in to four areas - Beaver Creek Mountain, Grouse Mountain, Arrowhead and Bachelor Gulch, but these are so well integrated that you may not realise as you move from one to another. Beginners have special learning areas. Beaver Creek was designed upside down, with beginner trails at the top of the mountain so they can enjoy the same view, and the resort's 400 teachers, part of the 1300+ instructor army of Vail Resorts, are capable of offering virtually every kind of tuition imaginable with an incredible 30 different languages available. The steepest terrain is on Grouse Mountain where the double black diamond runs are as steep and as demanding as you could want and there's the already famous new Birds of Prey run down the west side of Beaver Creek mountain. There are black and double black diamond trails dotted around most of the rest of the terrain including the long thresher Gladed and the short chutes in Larkspur Bowl. Additional double black diamond graded steep terrain opened for the 2006-7 season, adding the exciting Stone Creek Chutes just above Rose Bowl. Beaver Creek has one of North America's few cross country skiing centres, and of course they have made an exceptionally good job of it, located at a snowsure altitude at the top of Bachelor Gulch (9840 feet) where there are 32km (20 miles) of trails for all ability levels. In 2007/08 the nursery Haymeadow lift was replaced by an eight-person gondola - the Buckaroo Gondola - designed specifically for the children's ski school. In addition, a new Gondola, the Riverfront Express, was opened in 2007. this is located in Avon next to the Westin Hotel which is due to open for the 2008/2009 season. New for the 2008/2009 season get the Epic Pass. This provides unlimited skiing in Vail, Breckenridge Beaver Creek and Heavenly for $579. http://snow.com/epicpass/
