Venue

Beaver Creek, Colorado, USA. Not exactly roughing it.

APAC 2012 will be held at enchanting Beaver Creek, Colorado, USA in January 2012!

Located just 40 minutes from Vail and reminiscent of a secluded European alpine village, Beaver Creek combines the polish and refinement of a five-star resort with a relaxed, family atmosphere.

Ski passes are valid across Beaver Creek, Vail, Breckenridge and Keystone and there are regular shuttles all day long from Beaver Creek to Vail.

The resort's village-to-village ski and snowboard experience is complemented by a mountain-top snowshoe and cross country ski park, world-class spas, a year-round outdoor ice rink, sleigh ride dinners, family programs and more.

Beaver Creek is famous for pampering its guests from start to finish and lives up to the motto “not exactly roughing it.” The National Ski Area Association has awarded Beaver Creek the elite distinction of Best Overall Customer Service Program for a record fourth consecutive year. After each day on the mountain, Cookie Time chefs treat guests to freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.

Graduates like to say the Ski and Snowboard School at Beaver Creek is the best in the country. Maybe any country. Certainly, it's the only U.S. Mountain to regularly host the Men's World Cup. And uniquely, even some beginner trails are high on the slopes.

Beaver Creek has also expanded activities for family with new programs and events. The fun at Beaver Creek continues after the lifts close with a new disco ice skating party and storytelling and s’mores around Beaver Creek Village’s new outdoor fire pits. Glow stick ski-downs, rail jams, fireworks displays, kids’ tubing and figure skating shows round out an exciting line-up of complimentary activities offered nightly throughout the winter. Hungry for more? Sleigh ride dinners, family cultural performances, world-class spas, a teen video arcade and year-round outdoor ice skating deliver added excitement. On the mountain, tackle 13 of the mountain’s most challenging runs in one day with the Talons Challenge.

With over 1,810 acres of skiable area made up of 38 % Expert/Advanced, 43 % Intermediate and 19 % Beginner Beaver Creek boasts 25 lifts including 2 gondolas, 10 high-speed quads and 8 conveyors. Grooming is carried out twenty hours a day, seven days a week. The result, 776 groomed acres a day or a total of 106,000 acres per season of pure corduroy for your skiing pleasure.
