What is Buddy Werner League

About Us

A longstanding recreational alpine ski racing program, the Buddy Werner League (BWL) was founded over 55 years ago on Meadow Mountain in Minturn. As a local nonprofit, BWL depends on volunteer ski coaches, sponsors, and grants to thrive. The program operates out of Beaver Creek for a total of 10 Saturdays/Sundays each season, welcoming skiers in 2nd -8th grades with a skill level of 5 or higher, up to a limit of 250 participants.

A native of Steamboat Springs, Buddy had a breakneck style which caused spectacular spills, but also enabled him to win virtually every championship available during his mercurial career.
Seven of our ski days are all-mountain days with some race training and skills building and three days will be devoted to racing.

The Buddy Werner League – Vail/Beaver Creek proudly participates in CO Gives Day each December. This year’s event is on December 6 where all credit card fees are waived, allowing each donation to go just a little father. A donor can, however, donate to CO Gives any day of the year!
