Photo Alert: Recent Storm Dumped 22 Inches of Powder at Beaver Creek in Five Days; Acreage Doubled with Storm
Beaver Creek, Colo., Dec. 11, 2012— Following a recent blast of winter at Beaver Creek that resulted in 22 inches of powder in five days, the resort has doubled the amount of terrain open since last Friday and is now offering 457 acres or 25 percent of its terrain, 33 trails and eight main lifts as well as eight beginner surface lifts.
 
The mountain operations teams including snowmakers, cat operators and ski patrol have been working tirelessly to prepare more terrain and open trails as quickly as possible.
