Beaver Creek, Colorado paintings by Topher Straus
Beaver Creek, Colorado
Colorado artist Topher Straus paints Beaver Creek in two paintings: The Valley, the village lit beneath the mountain under a sky full of stars, and Bliss, a snowy road winding past the aspens. They belong to his work across the Vail Valley, from Beaver Creek to Vail’s Back Bowls.
“This is my love letter to Beaver Creek, Colorado—where snow-covered peaks glow under a billion stars, and the ski town hums with light and life.”

About Beaver Creek
Beaver Creek opened in 1980, ten miles west of Vail, on land first planned as an alpine venue for the 1976 Winter Olympics. Its village is reached by outdoor escalators and is known for small touches, from warm cookies at the end of the ski day to the Birds of Prey downhill, one of the most demanding stops on the men’s World Cup.
