On opening day, December 15, 1980, Beaver Creek Resort was the most environmentally sensitive ski resort ever built in North America. Based upon this founding philosophy, Beaver Creek remains protective of its environmental surroundings. The resort continues to emphasize and improve programs each year, such as:   water and air quality monitoring, public parking and transportation, wildlife habitat, environmental education, and waste recycling, reduction and reuse.
