The Beaver Creek Pad
Feb
2004
Our first day out of Anchorage and we’re in Beaver Creek, Yukon, barely one mile into Canada. Oddly the Canadian customs agent stamped our passports. In all the times I’ve entered Canada they’ve never stamped it.
But the coolest thing about Beaver Creek is that we totally lucked out on a place to stay. We called and stopped at the 1202 Motor Inn which is one of only a few structures in Beaver Creek. After telling him we needed three rooms with two bed each he said “how about a house?” He took us outside and pointed to the stairs at the end of the porch and said to take a look, “it’s nice and I’ll make you a good deal.”
We ended up with two ajoining apartments that run the full length of the log cabin that is the restaurant and store below. We have four king beds, a queen, and two twins. Three bathrooms, two sitting areas with satellite TV and two nicely equipped kitchens. All for $130 Canadian! It is an awesome setup.

Cool. You know what I think about finding the perfect place to stay – you were meant to be there at that exact moment in time with your whole team.

And no tires or transmission parts to be seen spread out over the floor. First class.
