Beaver Creek Oxygen Rental - Bluebird Oxygen

The Mountain

Beaver Creek Resort is forever linked to its neighbor, and bigger brother, Vail. This tie is based on its geography and shared ownership. That said, Beaver Creek is NOT just Vail Jr. With approximately 3,340’ in vertical rise and over 2000 acres of skiable terrain Beaver Creek is its own mountain, and quite worthy of a destination ski trip. Average snowfall is slightly less than Vail at 325” annually, but still quite good. As parents, we here at Bluebird Oxygen would be remiss if we didn’t stress how truly dedicated to the family experience Beaver Creek is. We racked our brains, and could not think of another resort in North America more focused on the family experience than Beaver Creek. They literally handout hot chocolate and warm chocolate chip cookies (free of charge of course) at the end of each ski day!

The Elevation

Again similar to Vail, Beaver Creek’s base altitude is around 8,100’ with the peak topping out at 11,440’. Nearly all lodging for Beaver Creek, including that in the town of Avon, is going to come in at the 8,000’ above sea level mark. Low-end estimates put the odds of experiencing altitude sickness in Beaver Creek around 1 in 4. We tend to think the odds are closer to 35% of visitors. With the resort so heavily geared toward families the odds say that for the average family of 4, at least 1 person on a family trip is likely to experience altitude-related illness.

The Town

Beaver Creek Resort is spread among 3 villages. Beaver Creek Village, Bachelor Gulch, and Arrowhead Village. There’s no denying the fact that Beaver Creek is on the Lavish end of the spectrum when it comes to ski resorts. This is evidenced by the food, shopping, and entertainment options in Beaver Creek Village. That said, it’s absolutely beautiful to see during Christmas, and once again, the kids will find it magical. Beaver Creek has a phenomenal smartphone app to help you navigate the village and find exactly what you’re looking for.
