General Comments/Likes

Beaver Creek is a large mountain complex with some memorable terrain. Lots of fast groomers, super long bump runs, and an impressive spread of glades. The Birds of Prey downhill course has some formidable steeps but especially The Brink just after the start. The Royal Elk Glades are expansive and long.

Dislikes

We did not have very good snow conditions and in particular the base area was very crowded, with one lift line at about 30 minutes. It’s also very pricey for a day ticket, even with the ski with a friend discount ($82). Food was similarly expensive. The value for money proposition is marginal.
