It doesn’t cost a lot to do something fun in Winter Park! Getaway for a couple days and rock the Rocky Mountains! The “Play Free” promotion is awesome and easy; just log on to the Beaver Condos homepage and click on the “Play Free” button. Each night you stay, you get 2 free activity passes to a number of different activities in the valley. My fav’ is the cruiser bike rental from Grand Sports. My bike was mint green with a big ole basket on the front and white walled tires! We cruised the Fraser River Trail and had lunch at Rudi’s Deli washed down with a cold beer! It’s summer in the mountains like it should be!

Beaver Village Condos has great condo style lodging with an onsite pool and hot tubs. Yea, even a hot tub feels good in the summer up here- 50 degrees by 10pm!

There’s also a free concert in town on August 7 featuring Night Ranger. You know their songs..”Christian Sister”…”Don’t Tell me you Love me”…Cool stuff to do for free. C’mon up and stay with BVC!

Didja know Grand County, Colorado is home to four spectacular golf courses, each with it’s own distinct character? If the smell of fresh grass clippings combined with mountain air and tees and pins turn you on, then you won’t be disappointed with what we have to offer.

Pole Creek Golf Course offers the pristine Alpine golf experience with 27 holes. The rugged peaks of the Continental Divide, soaring more than 13,000 feet above sea level, serve as a backdrop for many holes.
A new Clubhouse and Bistro offer the perfect setting to the game’s end.

Headwater Golf course weaves naturally through native grasses and wetlands along the meandering Fraser River. Offering 18 holes, this golf course sets alongside Granby Ranch and Sol Vista Ski Resort.

Grand Elk Golf Course has been designed by PGA great Craig Stadler and premier course architect Tripp Davis. Echoing the attributes of traditional Heathland courses in the British Isles, the course features gently rolling fairways and strategically placed hazards.

Grand Lake Golf Course is an 18-hole championship course at an elevation of 8,420 feet with the peaks of the Never Summer Range of Rocky Mountain National Park as your view teeing off on the number one tee box. Designed by Dick Phelps, the course offers narrowly rolling fairways that are well tended with subtle greens.

Seems like we all know someone who knows someone that’s making headlines. Something like that “6 places removed” or whatever. Well for us in Winter Park, we are celebrating the success of Ryan St. Onge! During the Free style skiing men’s aerials he finished 2nd qualifying him for final rounds.
From Ryan’s home page we learn he did his first quadruple twisting triple back flip at age 5. And it didn’t matter one bit that it wasn’t planned. Sounds like he was a natural from the start. Ryan’s parents Cary and Sara, moved their family to Winter Park when Ryan was 8, where he got his start. Well now he is proving himself at the Olympics and we all wish him the best! Good Luck on Thursday Ryan!

What a kudos to Winter Park Resort for scoring the 1st International two day on snow demo and free ride fest in conjunction with the Denver SIA tradeshow. SIA is all about snowsport retailers getting together to share new ideas, gear and equipment that we, the public, will soon get to enjoy! The Tradeshow, which used to take place in Vegas, is being held at the Denver Convention Center. Following the show, for the first time ever, is a demo and free ride fest for the attendees including Alpine, snowboard, tele, cross-country and snowshoe gear. In addition to Winter Park Resort, Devil’s Thumb Resort in nearby Tabernash will be the site for cross-country and snowshoe events. Winter Park stands to gain great notoriety from those in the snow business as we get to showcase our winter destination!

Beaver Village Condominiums is providing lodging and special deals for the SIA participants. Check out our website for more info on nightly lodging and accommodations in town!

Winter Park Carnival is almost here! This fun event started as Mary Jane’s Birthday Bash several years ago. As you may or may not know, Mary Jane was the infamous entreprenuer who made her way in Winter Park as a prostitute in the late 1800’s. Her unique talents awarded her a special place in the history of Winter Park and she is notably referenced when locals say “they skied Mary Jane’s backside”!

These days, Winter Park celebrates the festivities as a carnival with parade, dog sled races, music at the park, campfire in the park, pancake breakfast, and so much more! The Winter Park Carnival weekend will be fun for the whole family. We invite you to stay with us and take advantage of our great location which is close to town and the ski resort! Check out the schedule at Winter Park Visitor Center.

Winter Park Resort also celebrates 70 Year Anniversary!

Fraser Valley has long awaited the opening of the Metropolitan Rec. Center scheduled to open December 18. Typically, locals rely on the outdoors for activities, fitness workouts and all else that falls under the catagory of exercise. It’s a badge of honor that we wear to claim the valley, as mother nature intended, as our ‘fitness center’.

On the other hand, as temperatures dip to the negative and wind chill drives blinding ice pellets into our faces, it is exciting to have such a state of the art indoor place to release our pent up energy!

The Center offers a 4 lap lane swimming pool with low diving board and race platforms, lazy river, water slide, water play area, whirlpools, fitness floor, climbing wall, indoor track, basketball court and so much more. There will be the option for personal training, group workouts, learning clinics and exercise related networking.

The Center will be open for day guest visitation and is certainly available to our guests here at BVC. It’s only 1 mile from our property located at the opposite end of town. Stop by the front desk to get a discounted day pass!

Winter Park has had several snow storms since the end of summer, officially noted as September 21. We seemed to have skipped fall and gone right to winter. Somebody locally just dubbed it Finter.

The powdery white stuff is just what we need though to kick start the beginning of the ski season which is scheduled to open November 18, 09. This season officially marks the 70th anniversary of continual operation for Winter Park Ski Resort. Imagine skiing back then on long wooden boards and shoes that were just above the ankle, thank goodness for modern improvements. So grab your boards and come on up for early season fun. Beaver Village Condos is offering an anniversary special of our own- Yours! Tell us how long you have been married and we will match the years with the discount! Check out our other specials too.
