A short history…
In 1882, George Townsend laid claim to a quiet piece of land beside a small brook called Beaver Creek. George, his
wife Allie (for which Allie’s Cabin is named), and their child were the first family of Beaver Creek, and their hospitali-
ty was renowned among travelers. In 1883 a reporter for the Rocky Mountain News ran an article praising the fami-
ly and encouraging travelers to stop by their home for a night before continuing on their journey. When the Town-
sends moved away in 1898, they left behind the foundation for a new generation of settlers of ranchers, farmers and
miners who commuted to nearby Minturn. Often the residents in these professions were bachelors, hence our
nearby neighbor, Bachelor Gulch.
In 1956, Pete Seibert showed interest in buying the land of Beaver Creek from the owners at the time, the Notting-
ham family, and turning it into a ski resort. When the Nottinghams refused, the disappointed but determined
Seibert set his sights eight miles east, and started Vail Mountain. However, Seibert still did not lose his dream of
turning Beaver Creek into his dream resort, and he saw the opportunity arise again in 1970, when Denver won the
initial bid for the 1976 Winter
Olympic Games. Beaver Creek
quickly made the short list to host
the events and Seibert, along with
other enthusiasts, were finally able
to convince Nottingham to sell them an option on his land. Thus, Beaver Creek
Resort was finally underway. Although Colorado taxpayers surprised the world
in 1972 by voting against hosting the Winter Olympics, Beaver Creek Resort still
moved forward and officially opened on December 15, 1980 with four chair lifts,
28 runs, and 425 skiable acres.
Today, Beaver Creek has quadrupled in size to 25 lifts, 149 runs, and over 1,815 skiable acres. Now a world-renowned resort, Beaver Creek has just been nomi-
nated to host the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships along with Vail Mountain. Also a favorite resort of families around the world, Beaver Creek ranked #1 in
the latest Condé Nast Readers Poll, after years of ranking in the top four.
