The biggest news at Beaver Creek is the completion of the Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch. This exquisite hotel features 237 rooms (including 43 suites), an exclusive members' lounge for the Bachelor Gulch Club, a 20,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, ski rental, lesson and retail space, restaurants and meeting space. The grand opening was in November 2002. The nearby Red Sky Ranch, which features two golf courses, designed by Tom Fazio and Greg Norman. The first of its two golf courses, a 7,113-yard, Par 72 Tom Fazio course, celebrated its grand opening Saturday, June 2002. The Greg Norman course is scheduled to open in the summer of 2003.

The 2002-2003 winter season began with exciting action on the mountain, as Men's World Cup racing and Super-G returned to the resort's world-renowned Birds of Prey downhill course. Beaver Creek was also home to the Junior Olympics, Nastar National Championships, National Snowshoe Championships and more. As is evident from this list of major events, Beaver Creek is becoming widely known for its quality ski experience and variety of terrain.
Beaver Creek's mountain dining offerings also received much-deserved accolades, as fine dining has become yet another signature for Beaver Creek resort.

In the Works

With the start of the 2002-2003 winter season, there was the anticipation for what the future held. Beaver Creek celebrated its 20th Anniversary season last year with two exciting accomplishments - record-breaking numbers for both skier visits and guest service survey results. As Beaver Creek embarks on another 20 years, the resort is focused on fine-tuning its strengths and embracing new opportunities for innovation and growth.
With the introduction of eVill@ge, Beaver Creek intends to provide hassle-free activity planning for guests by adding a new virtual concierge service in hotel and condominium guestrooms. After beta-testing eVill@ge in The Pines Lodge, this proprietary concierge system, developed by Vail Resorts is currently being rolled out to additional lodging properties in time for the 2001-2002 season.

The Resort also looks for innovations in the preservation of its natural resources, with a continued emphasis on environmental awareness.
