Redtail Camp

Many of the best ski resorts have areas where the expert skiers and boarders hang out.  There is usually a base lodge in this area where they serve good food and drinks and there is usually a party atmosphere on warm sunny days.

At Beaver Creek, that area is Red Tail Camp.

There are three lifts that converge on Red Tail Camp; Larkspur Bowl, Grouse Mountain, and Birds of Prey.  I love all three lifts although I can’t wait until they convert the Larkspur chair to a high speed quad this summer.

Larkspur, Grouse Mountain, and Birds of Prey all have great bump runs right under the lift.  I enjoy the ride up watching the action below and I enjoy banging in the bumps under the chair on the way down.

Yesterday, the had a bluegrass band playing at Red Tail Camp and they sounded great.  The food at Red Tail Camp is also great; burgers, ribs, pulled pork sandwiches, and bratwurst with kraut.  And plenty of Fat Tire to wash it down.

Places like Red Tail Camp are paradise for me on a sunny warm spring day

Moguls...if there's one thing I hate in US ski resorts...
They presume all experts skiers are madly in love with them and never bother to groom the steep terrain even on marked trails. Just flatten those stupid bumps ;)

Jackson Hole and Snowbird were a nice surprise though.

Enjoy your vacation.

There's no middle ground with moguls/bumps, they are either loved or loathed. I am of the latter persuasion. I'm still not over my Bear Mnt. experience at Killington nearly twenty years ago....
