Vail Valley (Vail, Avon, Edwards, Beaver Creek) Market
The Vail Valley is where I live and where I built Basecamp Funding. Our team sees this challenge every day — world-class businesses operating in a world-class expensive market with brutally seasonal revenue. Vail, Beaver Creek, Avon, and Edwards form one of the most concentrated luxury resort economies in America. Ski season (December through March) generates 70% of annual revenue for most businesses here.
That seasonality is the defining challenge. Banks look at March financials and see a business that appears to be struggling. They don't understand that a restaurant in Vail Village does more revenue in February than most restaurants do in a quarter. They don't account for the summer tourism season that's growing every year. And they definitely don't understand that a $200/sq ft commercial lease in Vail requires a capital structure that's completely different from a $20/sq ft lease in Denver.
The Vail Valley needs financing partners who understand resort economics. Our team does — because we live here. Working capital to bridge the shoulder season, equipment financing to upgrade before ski season, and commercial real estate structures that account for seasonal cash flow. That's what we build for our neighbors.

I live in Edwards. I eat at the restaurants we fund. I drive past the construction projects our clients are building. The Vail Valley is home — and that's why I built Basecamp Funding here. Mountain businesses deserve better than a Denver bank that doesn't understand seasonal revenue. Our team gets it because we live it. If you're a restaurant in Vail Village getting ready for ski season, we know you need capital in October, not January.
Here's what works in the valley: working capital to bridge the shoulder season — funded in 1–3 days. Equipment financing to upgrade before opening day — the asset is your collateral. And if you're ready to stop paying $200/sq ft in lease and own your space instead, SBA 504 at 10% down is how you build equity in the valley. Check our loan cost calculator to see the numbers.
