BEAVER CREEK

What BEAVER CREEK does

Beaver Creek Resort is a luxury, year-round mountain destination located in Avon, Colorado, in the Rocky Mountains, owned and operated by Vail Resorts Management Company (a subsidiary of Vail Resorts Inc., NYSE: MTN). The resort spans 1,800+ acres of skiable terrain at an 8,081-foot base elevation and serves affluent families, beginner and intermediate skiers, summer adventure seekers, Epic Pass holders, group event planners, and culinary tourists across 26+ dining outlets, multiple lodging properties (The Osprey, The Pines Lodge, Elkhorn Lodge, Snow Cloud, St. James Place), and signature learning terrain (Haymeadow, Red Buffalo, and 250-acre McCoy Park opened January 2022).

The core product portfolio centers on four pillars: lift access (Epic Pass, Epic Local Pass, Epic Day Pass, and daily lift tickets), ski and snowboard instruction across group, private, child, adult, adaptive, and BEAVO programs, equipment rentals (ski, snowboard, and summer bike), and mountain lodging. Supporting these are dining experiences including Michelin-recognized Beano's Cabin and Citrea, the Vilar Performing Arts Center, signature events (Birds of Prey World Cup, BC Unplugged, Oktoberfest), summer activities (49.8 miles of mountain biking, 62.5 miles of hiking, golf, scenic gondola), premium add-ons (Slopeside Lounge, Small World Play School childcare, Signature Clubs membership), and digital infrastructure including the My Epic App (mobile lift access, trail maps, live webcams, Find My Friends) and Village Connect on-demand shuttle app linking Beaver Creek, Bachelor Gulch, and Arrowhead villages.

Beaver Creek operates a direct-to-consumer model selling lift access, lodging, dining, activities, lessons, rentals, and childcare through beavercreek.com, the My Epic App, and on-site points of sale. Revenue is generated through a hybrid mix of subscription-like recurring revenue (season passes, Slopeside Lounge memberships, Signature Clubs) and transactional revenue (daily lift tickets, lodging stays, dining, lessons, equipment rentals, summer activities). The resort is tightly integrated with Vail Resorts' Epic Pass platform, which grants access to 90+ resorts worldwide and delivers 20% Epic Mountain Rewards discounts on food, lodging, lessons, and rentals. Distribution is supported by airport partnerships (EGE, DEN), Epic Mountain Express shuttle service, and Core Transit, with Eagle County Regional Airport providing non-stop winter service from 14 U.S. cities.
