The Christie Lodge

Gondola at the front door?! Not quite but a 5 min walk is close enough! When the Westin Riverfront Resort & Spa at Beaver Creek Mountain was built, a gondola was run to its front door, which is a 5 min. walk from the Christie. Gone are the long bus rides to the slopes! Which makes the Christie Lodge a 5 star ski vacation value.

Enjoy!

Feb skiing is great time! lots of snow and sunshine! Staff is very friendly and will help accomodate you anyway they can. the kitchen has a skillet instead of an oven which was fine for most meals. there is a great pizza joint right across the street! we were very comfortable there and had great weather and skiing!

Several posts are in error. One mentioned this was a converted hotel (it is not). We bought a 3br/3bath on opening day and have seen no less than three major remodels since hte early 80's. Location is fantastic unless you are looking for a ski in/out in which case you are in the wrong place. This place is for people who want to ski with or without their families. Very functional with convenience being the key word. Restaurants, ski shop, sauna, hot tubs and two pools on site. Covered garage. When we come, we park the car and rarely use it during the week. The city bus takes you everywhere and is free and clean.

Downsides: it is a bit dated. Kitchen has no oven so it is really a kitchenette. Summers are hot. (winters are obviously fine). Strange hallways with multiple levels have aleays been frustrating. Single rooms are a bit small but the three bedrooms are great for 1 to 3 couples plus a few kids.

The Lodge went through a recent remodel but I have not seen it yet. Reports have been favorable.

great place!

Though clean, frankly this place is a dump but it does serve its purpose in this excellent location. It is old, has multiple levels & only one elevator.

Staff is pleasant. Our multiple bedroom floorplan was wierd. Local access is good.

Note that exchange availability is nearly constant, reflecting established owners not staying here constantly.
