What is Cookie Time at Beaver Creek?

Beaver Creek’s 3:00pm Cookie Time is a beloved mountain tradition that sweetens every afternoon. Each day at 3 o'clock sharp, guests are treated to freshly baked, warm chocolate chip cookies served in the village by smiling chefs in white hats. It’s the perfect après ski pick-me-up and a hallmark of Beaver Creek hospitality. Families, couples, and solo skiers alike gather to indulge in this simple yet heartwarming ritual that captures the resort’s welcoming spirit and signature charm.

A Sweet Stop on the Slopes

Not only does Beaver Creek offer complimentary cookies every day at the base during the ski season, but high on the mountain, the Cookie Cabin awaits—an alpine hideaway where skiers can take a break, warm up, and savor Beaver Creek’s famous cookies with stunning panoramic views. Nestled near the top of Chair 8 (Spruce Saddle area), the cozy cabin serves as a mid-ski treat and a reminder of Beaver Creek’s dedication to luxury, comfort, and delight in the details.

Perfect for All Ages

Wondering “what makes Beaver Creek’s Cookie Time so special?” It’s more than just dessert — it’s a moment of joy shared across generations. Kids love the surprise of catching the cookie chefs, parents unwind with a sweet break, and everyone leaves with a smile. Whether you stop by the village at 3:00pm or visit the Cookie Cabin between runs, this daily tradition delivers warmth, flavor, and a touch of Beaver Creek magic.

Planning Your Cookie Time

Cookie Time happens every afternoon throughout the ski season, and both the village and mountain locations are easy to access if you plan ahead. But don't be late! Cookies typically run out around 3:20pm so plan to end your ski day near the base area or have a friend or family member save you one.
