On Mountain Dining

Beaver Creek offers three on-mountain locations for dinner, Beano’s Cabin, Zach’s Cabin, and Allie’s Cabin.

Beano’s Cabin is an award-winning restaurant nestled in a mountain meadow at the base of Larkspur Bowl. Beano’s Cabin serves a gourmet five-course dinner during the Winter (December-April) season.  The best part of the adventure is getting to Beano’s Cabin! In the winter, the only way up to Beano’s Cabin is a 20-minute open-air sleigh ride, pulled by a snowcat, up Beaver Creek Mountain.

Zach’s Cabin offers a similar experience at a charming on-mountain cabin in Bachelor Gulch.  The menu is a la carte, with a kid’s menu as an option for the little ones. The open-air sleigh ride from the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch to Zach’s Cabin lasts about 15 minutes, just enough time to marvel at the stars and the amazing view of the valley.

Allie’s Cabin offers wine dinners on select nights throughout the winter.  Allie’s Cabin offers featured winery dinners on Thursdays and Family Dinners throughout the winter.  Diners enjoy a 15-minute sleigh ride to the cabin tucked in the woods.

Beaver Creek Ski and Snowboard School

Known as the “Ivy League” of ski school, Beaver Creek Ski and Snowboard School offers lessons for all ages, abilities, and disciplines.  Beaver Creek caters each lesson to the skiers ability level – from the never-evers to the kids who can out ski their parents.

From group lessons and signature programs like Ski Girls Rock and the adaptive program to private lessons to take a specific skill to the next level, Beaver Creek is here to make your alpine skiing, snowboarding, and cross country skiing to the next level.

Thursday Night Lights Fireworks

Beaver Creek lights up the Colorado sky every Thursday evening to celebrate another amazing ski season. This not-to-be-missed event includes a glow stick ski-down parade set to music followed by a spectacular fireworks display.

Want to join the action? Participate in the glow stick parade by registering with the Beaver Creek Children’s Ski & Snowboard School earlier in the day.  It is recommended that you be an intermediate Level 5+ skier or snowboarder.

Hit the Ice
