Beaver Creek Cinch Cache
This Cache is located at Beaver Creek Ski Resort. It was placed in the winter via skis, but could probably be reached in the summer with a short walk. It's located off the Cinch trail, and is accessible to beginner skiers who don't mind a short walk in the woods off the trail.

Original contents include:
standard Geocaching printout
log book
2 pencils
pencil sharpener
red stuffed animal
purple plastic life preserver

 Hints

(Looking at winter trail map) Located in the woods to the left of "Bear Trap" trail, inside the nearest u-turn of "Cinch" trail. Drop into woods from top of the u-turn. Look uphill; it should be easy to see. It’s affixed to a tree with yellow rope. When finished, continue downhill through trees to meet back up with "Cinch" trail or “Hay Meadow” trail.

Five days ago we had no intention of skiing again this season but when we saw that Colorado was getting spring snow we decided to put together a last-minute trip from Chicago. Sixteen short hours of driving later, we're skiing Beaver Creek for the first time in many years. Only half of the ski area was open, but the snow was remarkably great on the parts that were.

Read ahead of time that this one needed some help so we came prepared with a suitable replacement. We stopped along Cinch Trail above GZ and could see the yellow bag 80' downhill. I had a fun little glissade, then was able to walk the rest of the way without sinking in too much. Removed the completely ripped baggie and positioned a small pill bottle under the rope. Beaver Creek is only open for five more days, hopefully someone else will look for this one before it closes. We really love to combine caching & skiing, thanks jreberry for helping us accomplish that and bringing us to this lovely spot.
Bye Bye Yellow Baggie...

Watch the scratches in the summer. Shorts were a bad choice.

Very tough terrain to get down to it in summer time. Fun to get off the path (but lots of scratches now).
