Colorado has more than 300 days of sunshine each year, so we are hopeful for a beautiful, sunny wedding weekend, but the weather can quickly change in the mountains. Temperatures during the day may reach up to 75 degrees, but nights on the mountain can get quite chilly (30-50 degrees). Check out the area weather report before you arrive.

Be sure to pack clothes appropriate for warm and cool weather and remember the sun is stronger at high altitudes so bring sunscreen, hats, sunglasses etc.

Beaver Creek is more than 8,000 feet above sea level and guests may potentially experience some form of altitude sickness. This can affect anyone regardless of age or physical condition so it’s best to be prepared.

Staying hydrated is essential. Your body loses more water at high altitudes so drink plenty of water before you arrive and while in Beaver Creek to avoid dehydration and other symptoms of altitude sickness.

If you can, consider arriving early to give yourself time to adjust. The symptoms of altitude sickness usually pass after a day. Try to avoid strenuous activities such as biking, hiking, etc. in the first 24 hours.

Also, please note that alcohol’s effects can feel more potent at high altitudes. Don’t find out the hard way. We recommend you drink a glass of water with each alcoholic beverage.
