I made a mountain journey this past weekend to Beaver Creek Mountain Village where I met up with my son, his wife and three grandchildren. Beaver Creek Mountain Village is sweetly nestled in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

| When Colorado sought to host the 1976 Winter Olympics, Beaver Creek development was part of its successful bid in May 1970 |
The drive from our home is an easy 3 hour drive. I took highway 25 onto 470 West and intersected with 70 West which took me right into the middle of the glorious Rocky Mountains. The views were amazing and I popped open the sunroof (20 degrees) revved up the heater and the music too. Carole King was my radio companion for most of the way.

Beaver Creek ski area operates on
National Forest System lands under special use permit to the
White River National Forest. The 30-year permit assigns a portion of the bundle of rights associated with land ownership to the permit holder. All lifts, ski trails, and facilities must be approved by the Forest Service in advance prior to construction.

| My family treated me to a sleigh ride and dinner at Allie’s Cabin. |
Sun-drenched days with mountain snows are some of my favorite way to spend Winter days. Of course family time makes it all the more fun!

Beaver Creek Resort has great customer service, friendly staff, good food, great music and well groomed slopes. Plenty of after skiing activities for children and adults too, and of course that warm chocolate chip cookie we had every day sure was good!
What better way to welcome the First Day of Spring than with a beautiful mix of flowers and snow!
Happy Spring Friends!

ReplyDeleteI totally pictured you driving and listening to one of my all time favorite songwriters and performers, Carol King. We saw her sing with James Taylor not too long ago at Tanglewood, and like your wonderful getaway, it was magical.
ReplyDeleteYour grandchildren are precious, and I just know you are relishing each and every moment with them. Keep living the dream!
