Beaver Creek is a family friendly ski area. It is well manicured and maintained to perfection. The staff is friendly and very talkative. We felt like locals when we visited here. My only regret was that I did not research the trails before booking our family's holiday. There are no expert runs at Beaver Mountain. Most trails are at beginner and intermediate levels. The do have some that are rated advanced but were not very challenging to an expert skier. The area was lovely with many nice restaurants and shops. The disappointment my family felt in no way reflects upon the ski area. It was caused by my lack of research when listening to recommendations of an intermediate skiing level friend. Roseann Lahey
