Top Five Wintry Activities at Beaver Creek

Winter weather is upon us! As you watch the snowflakes pile up outside your window, you may be tempted to burrow under a blanket and hibernate until spring. But even in winter, there are so many great possibilities to explore and learn more about the outdoors. Plus, you don't really want to miss snow's magical beauty!

Keep yourself from going stir-crazy this winter with these Top Five Wintry Activities at Beaver Creek!

1. Hit the Trails by Candlelight. Our popular candlelight snowshoe hikes are scheduled for January 5th and February 2nd. Each night has an early and a late shift. Reserve snowshoes in advance or bring your own. After hitting the trails, enjoy a warm fire and hot chocolate. The short course is perfect for all ages. Register on our website.

2. Get Frosty! The Frosty Frolic is back for a second year! Come out on January 20th for a full day of snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, crafts and projects for all ages, dogsledding, food truck, warm fires, hot cocoa and snacks, and much more!
