Beaver Creek Ski Rental Deals, Beaver Creek Ski Rentals Pricing and Information from the Beaver Creek Ski Shops

Looking at Beaver Creek ski resort this week it looks like the mountain is half open; the only problem is that only the top is open. This past week brought some cool winter like weather that dropped some white fluffy stuff on the peaks. It is a great reminder that the ski season is right around the corner. You can feel the excitement in the air and the topic of conversation has now turned to winter. Many Beaver Creek Colorado Ski Shops are unpacking their boxes in anticipation of opening weekend in about a month.

Beaver Creek says they are not exactly rough it and that is most certainly true. While walking and driving around Beaver Creek this week it was very quiet. There were a few people in the coffee shops and employees of the Beaver Creek ski shops and hotels finalizing projects before the ski season kicks off, but overall it was a peaceful relaxing place to be. So if you live nearby and have extra time this fall drive up spend a night and have the entire resort to yourself and take it break. It will be well worth it!

With all of the ski gear available these days, ski boots are a crucial piece of equipment. US Ski Team member Bode Miller played a huge role in developing parabolic skis in the late 1990’s. Since the inception of parabolic skis, technology changes each year. Skis now range from narrow to extremely wide, providing many options for all levels of skiers. With the variety of options for skis, the technology of boots have also changed. There are a few things to look for while getting the right boot for you. First of all, the width of the forefoot…there are some race boots that measure 92 mm across the top of your foot and there are other boots that measure up to 106 mm across the top of your foot. The other thing to look for in a ski boot is the stiffness. The better skier you are, the stiffer boot you want. Many ski shops are now renting higher performing boots. Book your Beaver Creek Ski Rentals today and upgrade to the high performance boot! It will take your skiing to a new level!

This is not a craze over four long haired kids from Liverpool but a craze over the beetle that is killing pine trees all over the state. This Saturday will mark the 2nd annual Beetle Fest it will be hosted in Frisco on the Main Street. The Fest will include education and awareness regarding the devastation caused by the mountain pine beetle, live entertainment, a bug petting zoo, 4K beetle stomp and a bug slug. It is a great way to get out and have a good time and at the same time learn and support a very good cause. If you like it or not the beetle is here to stay it i only going to get worse not better. If all the pine trees are gone it could greatly hurt businesses all over the valley. Who wants to get Vail Ski rentals when all the trees are dead? People need to be more aware and learn what they can do to help.

Saturday September 12th will mark the 3rd annual Potatopalooza in Eagle Colorado. With the town of Eagle’s history being rooted in potato farming, it is no surprise they really like their potatoes. The Palooza kicks off at 10 a.m. with couch potato racing. Just when you thought you would never win at anything sitting on the couch you realize you were wrong. All you have to do is sit their and hope your friends are fast as they run and push you in your couch which is on wheels. This will be followed by a potato car derby and a potato cook off. This all sounds good and fun but it is missing one thing….booze. Good thing they can make vodka out of potatoes, this delicious treat will be served all day. What would a Palooza be without a band? It would be just a bunch of people eating and drinking potatoes. Good thing The Samples (a Boulder-based rock band that gained fame in the 90’s) will be playing at 7 p.m. to bring a long day of potato, eating, drinking and racing to a close. Everyone from the Vail Ski Shop will be there.

Just when you thought all the good summer activities were over The Beaver Creek Film Festival comes through with a save. At the Vilar Center in Beaver Creek the Beaver Creek Film Series continues with a classic. It is not the typical American classic but the most classic Indian film. They will be paying “Pather Panchali” which is one of the first films every created in India. Most people over look the fact that Bollywood produces far more movies than Hollywood each year. The film Pather Panchali is considered to be one of the most important movies in Indian film. The film is hailed as a classic because of the way in which is was made. The writer and producer had so little money that all the actors were novices but the story they played in lifted their performance to be one of the greatest Indian movies ever. So in order to stay well cultured in the offseason I know all of us at Vail Ski Rentals will be keeping an eye open.

The smell I am referring to is obviously football. Thursday marked the beginning of College football and what better way to do so than have two top 25 teams meet in the very fist game of the season. This was done when 16th ranked Oregon went to 14th ranked Boise State. Both teams are known for their high powered offense, so most people expected a very high scoring game. When it was all said and done the game was good but not what people expected. With a total of 27 points being put up between both teams it was more of a defensive and don’t turn the ball over kind of game. The game gave us 5 turnovers and a punch to be remembered. After the game Orgeon’s running back punched a Boise State player in the face, and then went at fans before being held back by coaches, event staff and police. It is a shame the opening of football will be remember by a punch but it is drama like this that makes football the most popular sport in America. WIth football starting everyone knows that snow and skiing are just around the corner, so the boys at the Vail Ski Shop are getting ready for both.

As the snow melts from the mountains most of the tourists leave Vail Valley but the wildlife comes to play in the summer. In the Vail Daily people post pictures of animals they have encountered during hikes around the area. There have been pictures of a couple big horn sheep which apparently are not afraid of people and will follow hikers from a safe distance. Another wild animal that people encounter in the summer is the mountain lion. Although they are more fun to view from a vehicle they are beautiful creatures that if you respect them they will return the favor. How could we forget about the bears, you do not have to go far to encounter a bear, they have been spotted crossing Frontage Road, inside of the Dusty Boot in Beaver Creek, and in a women’s home in Aspen. WIth the warm weather comes a lot of wild animals, people have to simply remember to keep garbage secure and do other small things that will not attract wild animals. I know that Vail Ski Rentals will secure all of their garbage properly.

Everybody is looking for a deal now days. Everybody want to do something fun and not have to spend a lot of money. Skiing and snowboarding are great but can get expensive, and are not there in the summer. Do you know what is for free and can be done in the summertime? Hiking. From East Vail to Edwards there are tons of hiking trails. There are short hikes, long hikes, steep hikes, flat hikes, hikes with waterfalls, or hikes with lakes the possibilities are endless. The greatest thing about all of the trails is that they are free. Parking is free and all the amazing wonderful views are free as well. Just don’t forget to bring your camera. I know the boys from the vail ski shop will be taking advantage of all the amazing hiking.
