Terrain and Parks
Don't be fooled by Beaver Creek's reputation for great groomers. The "other side of the mountain" is full of intense vertical, steeps and deeps, cliff dropping runs and epic powder stashes.
Originally designed to accommodate skiers of all abilities, Beaver Creek Mountain continues to welcome and challenge those who visit her slopes. From the gentle groomed runs of Strawberry Park to the rugged glades and bump runs of Grouse Mountain, to the four terrain parks and Super-pipe, Beaver Creek is enjoyed by a variety of snow sports enthusiasts.
