Tucked away in Colorado's Rocky Mountains, Beaver Creek Resort has had a rich history since it first opened to the public in 1980.

When Denver won the bid for the 1976 Winter Olympics, Beaver Creek would have hosted the alpine skiing events.

When Colorado sought to host the 1976 Winter Olympics, Beaver Creek development was part of its successful bid in May 1970.
