Donations Needed

Attention site users: A big thanks to all who have recently donated toward our much needed site upgrades. We are nearing our goal. We are now in the process of locating someone/a company proficient in "Craft CMS" to complete the needed upgrades to keep this site secure, up and running. We are finding that changing to another host will be quite a bit more expensive than what we were paying, so if you have not donated yet but have considered doing so, we could still make good use of additional contributions. Use the “Donate” button now and make a secure donation via SquareUp. 85% of our recent contributors have been "first-timers." Thank you!

Directions

From I-70, take the main Avon exit and drive south through 4 traffic circles south of the interstate. At the 4th circle, exit west on old Highway 6 and drive a short distance to a large parking lot that serves the ski area. You may want to call the ski area and/or local police in advance to check their policies in regards to leaving a vehicle parked here overnight. From the parking lot, catch the next shuttle bus up to the base of the Beaver Creek Ski Area with your loaded pack in tow. Locate the window for purchasing a lift ticket and make whatever purchase will get you highest on the mountain. In the two years we did this, (1995 & 2002) we rode the "Centennial Express Lift" to the Spruce Saddle Lodge at 10,200 ft. In 2002, this cost us $16 each. In 1995, we were able to obtain a "family day pass." In both years, the pass would be good for a 24 hour period so we could ride up one day and catch the lift down the next day before it closed. Whatever pass they issue now, check carefully to see if you'll be able to use it the next day.
