The ocean attracts many for numerous reasons. Was it our original birthplace as humans? The mysterys of her depth? Maybe there are secret wonders that trigger our sub-consious? The fear of storms, creatures, or of the inability to breath underwater? Of course many delight in and around the ocean as a playground, whether a walk along the beach, a dip in her wetness, or extreme adventure above and below her beauty.
As evaporation leads to rain or snow, this process leads back to the ocean, starting with a creek. In this case it was Beaver Creek, #18 on the list. A well designed and planned out village, with plenty of elbow room in between, added with a conservative flair. Activities abound, smiles are everywhere, and the latest of everything is here.
A bit of warmth will greet you at first and the “scene” will delight you at the end. We stayed and enjoyed the post-skiing activites, watching all that enjoyed, and sharing in the excitement as well. Beaver Creek was evolved from the success of Vail, two sister resorts just a few miles apart. Which one is better? That is a question I feel can not be answered. What is the best car, the best wine, the best of anything at this level of elegance? Why dwell on that question, just enjoy, as neither will disappoint and both will leave a skier or snowbarder yearning to return, especially on powder days with no lift lines, and this does happen at both resorts.
Many thanks goes to Jen Brown and Evan for their open arms welcoming MauiSkiBus.com to their reosrt. The Ski Patrol here also showed an interest to this adventure, as most that we met had read the article that was written by John La Conte of the Vail Daily[Dec. 30, 2011}
