Founded in 1984 Construction of BRR began in 1978 with Building 1. The first condo unit sold in February 1980. Buildings 2 and 3 followed soon thereafter. By 1982, the popular Conference Center needed expansion.
In 1984, BRR was on the map, shown in TV coverage of the Freestyle Skiing Championships on Wide World of Sports. Another important step for Beaver Run in 1984: the first homeowner’s board was established.
The Ski Area replaced inefficient D-Chair in 1990 with the Beaver Run Super Chair. Originally called the Mercury Chair, the lift was dedicated by
Alan Shepard, the first American in space and who also walked on the moon in 1971. Shepard, a BRR homeowner, included other Mercury astronauts John Glenn, Scott Carpenter, and Gordon Cooper in the celebration.
Improvements to BRR continued over the years. Spencer’s Restaurant and the Copper Top expanded dining options. The Refurbishment Department, created in 1994, continued to update the look and style of units, keeping BRR current with trends and travelers’ tastes. The Conference Center increased occupancy year-round.
