Ski Southeast Messageboard

My truck recently got new brake pads. I was not able to drive it for a while. To celebrate it's new brake pads I went to Beaver Creek. Beaver Creek was about 50% open and quiet.

I was prepared not to spend much money today. I stuffed my lunch in my pockets and 2 chai tea bags. Beaver Creek does not charge a cup fee. I chose Beaver Creek over Vail because Beaver Creek has a free lot. On my way there I think I may of saw free places to park in Vail.

The runs had snow on them, but the trees, where the bee's knees.

I found a structure in the woods.



This was my first time at beaver Creek. It has some cool tree runs and is very "stashy". This was not a powder day, but I found a lot of powder. I will return.



9 more days left at either Vail or Beaver Creek for me.

Beaver Creek > Vail for my money. Yes, it is very "stashy".

+1 on this. Love The Beav.

Be sure to check out Beaver Liquors while at Beaver Creek.

+1 on the ramen noodles

I cook the ramens in tall cups and put a lid on it. You must cover the cup. They cook good this way. Ramen works great for the mountains because almost all the mountain cafeterias have hot water and cups. Plus they don't get my pockets smelly and fit in them. I also bring chi tea bags and make chi lattes with the half and half.

I saw this giant building in the middle of the ski area. Is it a private residence? I wonder what one would pay to own something like this?



The backcountry access gates were closed at Beaver Creek. The park was closed too, but that's not why I went. I need to come back when they are open and with friends. I liked Beaver Creek. It was so quiet and there were no lines. I bought a tiny sticker for my truck's after market hitch. My truck is too pretty for bumber stickers.

+1 for the wording on this one

For parking at Vail, just park at the golf course and catch the free bus.
