Birds of a Feather Roll Together
Fly to the races with Core Transit
The 2025 Birds of Prey Ski Races return to Beaver Creek from Thursday, December 4, to Sunday, December 7. Fans across the valley and visitors from around the world will be heading up to experience the excitement, race-day energy, and the thrill of watching world-class athletes take on the course.
Parking fills up quickly every year, and this is the perfect time to break up with the parking lot and take the bus instead. With our new winter schedule, which began Sunday, November 23, getting to the races has never been easier or more convenient.

Why Take Core Transit?
- If you drive, you’ll pay for gas, parking, and still take a bus. Why not just roll with Core Transit and save some money and most likely time?
- Parking is limited and will sell out. Avoid the stress and ride with Core Transit!
- These races build community; you’ll be able to connect with friends and make new ones on your way!
