Buzzworthy: The Osprey at Beaver Creek Opens December 14

We've had our eyes on this one for awhile. The latest hotel from RockResorts is billed as "closer to a ski lift than any other hotel in all of North America." And the amenities-- after a $7 million transformation-- look downright elegant. To celebrate its opening on December 14th, 2008, The Osprey is offering a package to "let your idea of true mountain luxury take flight." Fittingly called "First Flight," the package includes three nights accommodation in a King Superior Room with fireplace, one dinner for two at the Tapas Lounge at The Osprey, daily breakfast for two, meet and greet at Vail Eagle Airport with transportation to The Osprey, gourmet picnic basket, and a bottle of Champagne and chocolates upon arrival. Available January 1, 2009 through April 12, 2009.
