Snowboard Guide rating 10 out of 10 “Absolutely fantastic mountain offering great riding for ever style and level of rider. Great local services in and around the resort with lots going on. ”

Snowboard Guide rating 10 out of 10 “Full-on freeriders resort offering great open and tree-lined riding on crowd free slopes ideal for all levels. Excellent local facitities of a high quality. Bachelor may not be steep but it makes up for this with awesome wind-enhanced terrain and decent parks. Some have described the Bachelor terrain as being similar to a snow covered skate park with all its windlips, transfers and transistions. Even with only a few inches of fresh (which is about every other day) you will have a great time thanks to the wind. Just stay on the wind protected sides of the ridges and you will find plenty of nice slashes and face shots.”

Snowboard Guide rating 8 out of 10 “Its American! On a normal snow day well groomed trails and easy to follow maps, although not that much in terms of steeps on piste. However on a powder day almost ridiculous in terms of off piste riding both in terms of quality and accessability. 4 snowboard parks all well maintained ranging from Groove at Cal Base for beginners to High Roller off Canyon chair for some seriously large features.”

Snowboard Guide rating 8 out of 10 “Great grooming and solid steeps - at a steep price Beaver Creek's steeps and rollers are great for freeriding, and the grooming is second to none. Beginners can also take advantage of their nationally ranked ski and ride schools. Nightlife is expensive, befitting the well-heeled crowd that prefers furs to fleece. ”
