We will leave the Vail Mountain Coffee and Tea Company shop in Beaver Creek Village at 10AM.  Remember to bring your valid Vail Resorts lift pass if you have one.  The lift ride costs between $49 and $59 depending on age and military status, but I have a few coupons that can be exchanged for a free lift ride ticket. Please check with me in advance to reserve a coupon.  Please arrive by 9:30AM if you need a lift ticket.  We can park in the Ford Parking garage for free during the summer.  Alternate parking is in the Elk lot  and ride the free shuttle bus to the village.  The Elk lot is on the South side of highway 6 about 1/4 mile West of the road to Beaver Creek Village.  Usually, the bus runs every 20 minutes.

The Cofffee and Tea Company meeting place is up 2 escalators from the bus stop and on the same level as the stairway exits from the Ford Parking garage. Indoor restrooms are on the same level as the meeting place and at the Spruce Saddle Restaurant at the top of the lift ride.

For more information or if you need a lift ticket coupon call or text me at 303 725 8708
