Beaver Creek

Located near to Vail, Beaver Creek is something of an upmarket resort that provides visitors with access to some high-quality skiing alongside a collection of hugely impressive hotels.

Excellent nursery slopes are great for children and beginners but at the other end of the scale, the challenge for expert skiers is clear to see for anyone who pays a visit to Grouse Mountain.

Intermediate level skiers benefit from the majority of the runs, with Beaver Creek linked to a number of neighbouring resorts for those who want to get around.

The powder snow is the major draw but this is very much a resort where luxury is order of the day - with stylish hotels, impressive restaurants and bars, and top class shopping.

Easily accessible from Denver, Beaver Creek is a resort to consider if planning a trip Stateside.
