Teeing off at Pole Creek

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.

Beaver Village Condos offers a summer Golf Package for only $376 a twosome. This includes two nights lodging in a one bedroom condominium, two rounds of 18 holes at Pole Creek including cart and practice balls! The savings is up to $100! Give us a call at 800-824-8438 and mention this package, we’ll get your tee time set- up too!

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!

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!

Winter Park Carnival Jan 22-24, 2010

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!

The T-Bar Lift

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.

Summer Straight to Winter!

Geez, it’s already our 3rd snows storm since the end of summer (Sept 21)! If this is any inclination of the ski season, it should be a doozy!

While we seemed to have “fast forwarded” to winter, keep in mind the ski season opens at Winter Park on Nov 18, 09.

With lodging reservations, we sell discounted lift tickets too. The discounts are pretty substantial and will save you lots of money rather than getting tickets at the window. Plus you get your tickets at check-in and don’t have to stand in line at the ski area- just go ski! Give us a call asap to purchase tickets before 11/30/09- after this date the rates will increase.

Winter Park Resort is hosting a gear and goods event this weekend (Oct 9-10) if you need a new ride, c’mon up and check it out!
