Discounted Beaver Creek Lift Tickets

Discounted Beaver Creek lift tickets are sold by the Vail Ski Resort by way of passes.   To prioritize the guest experience, Vail Resorts will be limiting lift ticket sales across their 37 North American resorts. While they do not anticipate every day at every resort will sell out, they encourage guests who are planning to visit this season to secure their lift access in advance.

To check on prices, please contact a Rocky Mountain Travel Advisor or visit Beaver Creek Ski Resort.

Ski & Snowboard Rentals

To rent or not to rent.  For first time skiers, we definitely recommend renting.  Each region has different snow conditions and each day as well!  So, for the best learning experience, renting is easier. There are rental shops located in Avon and Beaver Creek and on each of the four mountains. Shops vary in pricing and services.

Airlines typically consider skis (or snowboards) as one piece of luggage and may be subject to fees.  Typically boots are not counted as additional luggage if they are bagged with your skis.

You decide if it is worth the extra cost and hassle of traveling with your ski gear.  Love your boots?  I totally understand.  Ski and poles only (or deck only) options are available at all of the rental locations.

Ski School

Beaver Creek is known as the “Ivy League” of Ski Schools. Beaver Creek has dedicated learning areas, Haymeadow and Red Buffalo Park.  Learning to ski at Beaver Creek is easier for all ages. Why?  Because beginners have access to the entire mountain.  Beaver Creek’s Red Buffalo Park is located at 11,440 feet, the highest point of the mountain. The gentle slope of the designated learning trails provides terrain fitting for beginner and intermediate skiers and riders, plus breathtaking panoramic views of the Gore Range. Guests can ride the new Red Buffalo Express Lift (#5), located at the heart of Red Buffalo Park, for quick access to trails in the area.
