A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
Design superiority, whether trail or base area. Vast front side in 3 distinct base areas… fantastic, although ridiculously priced ski school…. Not as large as Vail, but laid out better. Plenty of long and varied intermediate terrain. Some fantastic expert terrain … whether in the Rose Bowl or Grouse Mtn… and don’t forget the Birds of Prey…If you go for a week to the Vail Valley… Mon- Thurs in Vail.. Fri- Sun in BC.. you have to be insane to ski Vail on weekends … and depending on the experience and Apres you want… pick your choice where to stay.

BC is one our favorite resorts. 3-5 mountains all inter connected. Tons of runs less busy and off the major runways. Village food is good but pricey. On mountain food lousy. Much less crowded than other majors.
Need to pay more attention to homeowner experience as well as infrequent guests.

I think that Beaver Creek is a pretty good place overall. Very overpriced dining.

My new favorite resort, I was blown away by the diversity of the terrain here. It may not have the legendary back bowls that Vail does, but since it's less travelled, you can find stashes of powder here days after snowfall. Grouse was still closed, but was able to explore most everything else. I grew very fond of the Tombstone Territory, such an enjoyable glade with various sized jumps and berms. Unfortunately, they are not doing their complimentary hot chocolate and warm cookies aprés ski due to COVID. I would recommend going here instead of Vail on the weekends, this was a local tip I picked up.

Beaver Creek is one of my favorite resorts and go to mountains. They have nice diversity of trails for all levels. Some of the great things are that they have a nice amount of green trails at the peak of the mountain which you don’t get at many resorts. Also, you to hang around for the Apres hot coco and chocolate chip cookies. It’s what they’re known for.

good skiing but expensive

Need to hire more help to maintain mountain. Lift operators just sit and do not make an effort to keep the access ramp in good shape or help with the lift. Grooming very inadequate. Not what we are used to. Disappointed

I have skied here 6 or 7 times over the last few years and have explored the whole mountain. I am impressed at how large it is, how fun it is for beginners, and how nice the village is, but that's about it. Beaver Creek is huge, but I had it feeling really small the last few times I've been. It's a lot of are filled with nothing fun in particular. I'm very into advanced and expert terrain and generally go for steeper and more challenging runs. Unfortunately, there was nothing here to challenge me. There is no where near enough tree skiing for my likes, the double black diamonds can hardly be called that (though the stone creek chutes are fun, they are way too short), and the most fun I had was going so far out of bounds that I could have been in a different zip code. There's a lot to see for your first few visits, then it becomes a resort with an empty soul.
