Where to stay during the exciting summer months in Beaver Creek, Vail and the Avon during these great summer events:
Here are just a few huge events that you do not want to miss.

XTERRA

Beaver Creek West Condo’s is the best play to stay as we are next to Nottingham Lake where the swimming is held for XTERRA
Because of the sometimes extreme conditions, every race in the XTERRA Colorado Trail Run Series offers two course options – a “short” course for less-experienced runners and a longer course for experienced runners. The short courses are usually 10 kilometers or fewer; the long courses are usually 20 kilometers or longer. There are even two events that will offer 42K full marathon trail courses.

All of the races in the XTERRA Colorado Trail Run Series are open to runners of all ages and skill levels. Points will be awarded to the top age-group finishers of each race. At the conclusion of the series, each age-group champion will receive a free entry to represent Colorado at the XTERRA Trail Run National Championship.

“There are a lot of running series in Colorado, but what’s different about the XTERRA Series is that it leads to something,” Parker noted. “If you do well in the XTERRA (Colorado) Series, you can move on to the Nationals or Worlds, and that’s a nice incentive.”

Let’s take a look into what’s going on this weekend. We will give you the local tips on everything you need to know in order to enjoy Beaver Creek and Vail’s events just like a local.

Beaver Creek this Weekend:

Luxury Lifestyle Festival: This is fairly new event to Beaver Creek. The “Lux Fest” as the locals are calling it is only on its second year. This year the “Lux Fest” partnered with Mountain Living Magazine. You will see amazing cars, Beaver Creek’s version of fashion week, incredible homes, all while enjoying a glass of wine and delicious treats.

 The Wrap Up- The Luxury Lifestyle Festival is great for the family. The event is outside so make sure you dress accordingly. By that we mean bring a rain jacket. The weather should be perfect for this event, but those afternoon showers come in quick. Be ready to walk around the village all day. The first event starts at 10am and ends at 3pm on Saturday, so go make a day out of it! We would suggest trying the food at the festival, but if the kids are still hungry take them to Blue Moose Pizza. Save some time and park down below and take the bus up. Believe us, it’s NO fun getting all the way up and realizing the people at the gate were right…. both parking garages are full.

Vail this Weekend:

We hate to say it, but it’s the last Oktoberfest in the valley. All weekend long celebrate by drinking beer and eating brats in Vail Village. Once again, a great event for the family. There are lots of fun things for the kids from contests to dancing. If you don’t take or don’t have kids, take the bus and really soak in what Oktoberfest is about. One of our favorites will be there, Helmut Fricker. This man is amazing!

The Wrap Up- Take the kids if you have them. The weather should be perfect, but do know the whole event takes place outside. Bring a couple bottles of water to save a couple bucks to put towards the steins (the steins are a great thing to have and take home). If you plan on celebrating with beer arrange a safe ride home. There are several cabs in the area and please use them! FUN FYI- have the kids ask Helmut for a joke. He always has one up his sleeve or should we say lederhosen.

If you have questions about these events or others please comment! We want to make sure you know everything you need to know!

Celebrating the big 5-0 will not be the only thing Vail lovers will be doing this winter. They will be partying harder than ever at what Vail Marketing is calling the “biggest ever” Snow Daze. The week long activities start December 10 and end on December 16. Wondering who the headliners are? Have you heard of Wilco? Michael Franti and Spearhead? or The Shins? That’s what we are thinking! HOLLY COW! Tickets go on sale September 17. Make sure you buy them before Dec. 11!
