Beaver Creek's unique ambiance make it the perfect spot for a family vacation or corporate retreat. Edwards Edwards sits a few miles west of Beaver Creek, serving the needs of visitors and residents alike with the kinds of businesses everyone needs at home or on vacation, including boutiques, lodging, restaurants, movie theaters, galleries, and professional services from pet groomers to dry cleaners. On the edge of our small slice of paradise lies Wolcott, a destination that our visitors seek out for experiencing the down-home hospitality of our local ranches. Regardless of where you're staying, you can explore each of the Vail Valley's unique communities using a combination of our outstanding public transportation system and private taxis and shuttles. There are more than 6,000 skiable acres in the Vail Valley to accommodate all levels of skiers and snowboarders, from beginner to expert.
Trails are well-marked.
A green circle identifies beginner trails, intermediate trails are marked with a blue square, and expert trails can be recognized by one or more black diamonds. All types of trails are easily accessible by most lifts. Vail's legendary Back Bowls and new Blue Sky Basin, and Beaver Creek's Birds of Prey runs challenge the best of us. Local ranches invite visitors to experience horseback riding, sleigh ride dinners and snowmobile tours. Fireworks, hiking, camping, picnics, golfing, fishing and rodeos make a summer excursion to the Vail Valley a fun-filled vacation.
