There are plenty of great ski resorts in the U.S., but if you want to be as close to the action as possible, there's only one place to stay. The Osprey at Beaver Creek isn't just a fantastic hotel — it's also the closest hotel to a chairlift in North America. Apart from the alpine action right outside, the Osprey also offers 47 oversized rooms and suites, the Osprey Lounge restaurant, an outdoor heated pool, a steam room, sauna, ski valet, and ski storage, and is just steps from the Beaver Creek village.
