As the only men’s World Cup stop in the United States, the “Audi Birds of Prey” event has evolved into one of the world’s premier ski competition. Beaver Creek is home to the formidable Birds of Prey racecourse, challenging an international roster of top athletes to three days of racing including Downhill, Super G and Giant Slalom. A festival atmosphere surrounds the on-mountain venue which is easily accessible, free and open to the public. Vail/Beaver Creek willalso be the home of the World Alpine Ski Championships featuring men’s and women’s racing for two weeks in February 2015.

The development of the Birds of Prey men’s downhill course in Beaver Creek is now recognized as one of the top downhill courses in the world and the only men’s downhill in the United States.

This year there will be even more event merchandising in the VIP tents and at evening events. Chaos will supply a specialty line of custom embroidered beanies that reflect the individual energy and specific demographics of this world televised event. Collector’s edition hats will also be available in the local retail stores.
