Planning to be at Beaver Creek end of January and I am not seeing a lot of snow falling. How are conditions? How snow is needed for a good day?

Transportation between Avon and Beaver Creek.

My wife and I will be in the area at the end of February and we’re wondering what the transportation is like out there. We’d like to stay in Avon to save a little money but need to be in beaver creek by 7am each morning we’re there. Is there a solid bus service that starts that early? Or is uber / Lyft reliable that early? Thanks for any info you can provide!

Any good recommendations on a shop that rents skis?

I’m headed to Beaver Creek to ski in February for the first time. We are staying in Avon. Ive skiied other mtns. before, but never this area. Being that half the folks on the trip don’t live near ski areas I’m looking for a local spot that has a good rental program. Possibly a delivery service.

February 2017 Place to park?

edit meant 2018. We love Huey but will not be going back in time

Bought our epic passes and the hubs and I are all set to be ski bums next year. We will be traveling in a fifth wheel. Looking for suggestions on places it could be parked in Vail/Beaver Creek for a reasonable fee for about a week?

Looking for some new Sidecountry reco's

My brother and I have been skiing the Beav for a couple of years. We get together and make it out to CO once a year for a week. For two years we have been hitting Royal Elk Glade (love the trees and the runout), Alta Chutes (magical tour and deep n steep, Football FIelds (our favorite...what can you say). We have never made it to

1.) Y-Chutes
2.) The Bald Spot 3.) Untouchables 4.) Grandpa Glades

I fully understand that all this terrain is very dependent on conditions. Some of these areas are natural avalanche chutes with terrain traps. We are advanced expert skiers (Level 8). We would never go into the sidecountry without talking to ski patrol.

Any habituees out there that can describe those 4 pieces of terrain? What safety equipment would be recommended for an afternoon hitting some of those spots. I'm currently looking at avy gear for the trip.

Lost GoPro in trees near Ripsaw (January 25, 2016) - Cash reward if found

Hey all.

This may be a longshot, but I'm putting this out there just in case someone comes across a GoPro Hero 4 black w/ 64gb card, tripod mount attached. I lost it jumping off of a cliff in the trees near Ripsaw. I spent an hour or so digging around for it, but had no such luck.

There are some pretty important photos/videos on there that I'd love to get back (from my wedding day, visit to Red Rocks, etc). I'm offering a cash reward if the GoPro is found and returned (or even just the photos/videos).

Please email me at hoernig [DOT] colin [AT] gmail [DOT] com if you have the good fortunate of finding it.

Thank you, and DAMN, I had a great time riding Beaver Creek..what a wonderful mountain.

-Colin

Lost snowboard leaving Beaver Creek. Hoping for a Reddit miracle! [x-post r/denver r/cosnow]

I had a bit of a sad ending to an awesome powder day. Leaving Beaver Creek from Avon Rd. on the on ramp to I-70 E my roof rack popped and my snowboard flew off. Luckily no one was hurt, and we pulled off ASAP to secure the other skis and boards.

 

Several great people stopped to tell us the snowboard was on the ramp, but by the time we got back around it was no where to be found :(

 

It's a white Sapient board with a pastel flower on top. I'm hoping someone happened to see where my board ended up!

 

tl;dr Lost snowboard off roof rack on I-70 E on ramp coming from Avon Rd. at Beaver Creek. Went back and it was gone. White Sapient board with a pastel flower on top. Reminder, double check you locked your roof rack.

Flying in Sunday to EGE and would like to hit the slopes that day.

I am in flying in Sunday at 10:15 AM to EGE and was going to take a shuttle over to Beaver Creek as soon as I land. I am staying in Bachelors Gulch but I can't check into my place till 4pm so I have some time to burn. Was thinking of skiing or chilling at a bar while I wait.

Wondering if there was options to drop my luggage and gear (I have my own skis and will have to leave my other luggage somewhere as well) while I try to grab a half day. Also if there are any cool places to hang out while I wait for my family to drive in that would help as well.

I also heard of a thing called the "Fly In, Ski Free program" where you get a free lift ticket for the remainder of the day if you fly in. Wondering if anyone still knows if that's a thing.

Calling out all liftees!

I just got a job at beaver creek as a lift operator. Super stoked about it. I was just wondering if they drug test you when you first get there. Of course I have paused my smoking just in case they do but I just want to know if they do. I've heard mixed answers.

Beaver Creek opens in 9 days! Let's try to bring this subreddit back!

With BC opening soon, I'd say now is a good time to try to bring /r/beavercreek back in action. I've been going every winter since 2001, and I'm going back again in December. So, who's with me? Let's do it!
