Beaver Creek rings in 2027 on Thursday, December 31, 2026, with an illuminated ski down and fireworks at 6 pm, a village celebration from 6:30 pm and a fireworks finale at 10 pm. Mountainside entertainment starts at 4:30 pm in Beaver Creek Village.

What is the Beaver Creek New Year's Eve schedule?

From the resort's New Year's Eve event page:

• 4:30 pm: mountainside entertainment
• 4:30 to 5:45 pm: ski down registration
• 6 pm: ski down and fireworks
• 6:30 pm: village celebration
• 10 pm: fireworks finale

Who can join the New Year's Eve ski down?

Skiers and riders at Level 5 or above can join, and a helmet is required. Registration runs from 4:30 to 5:45 pm at the base of Haymeadow Gondola #1. Vail Resorts describes the ski down as more than 200 illuminated skiers coming down the mountain.

Is there an early show for families?

Yes. The 6 pm fireworks go up with the ski down, so families with young kids can catch a show and still head back early. The 10 pm finale is for those staying out later.

How is it different from Vail's New Year's Eve?

Vail's celebration is one early show: a torchlight parade at Golden Peak at 6:15 pm and fireworks at 6:25 pm. See our page on New Year's Eve fireworks in Vail and the wider Vail New Year's Eve guide. Beaver Creek adds the late finale at 10 pm. If you are deciding where to spend the night, here is how far Beaver Creek is from Vail.
