Please Be Bear Aware - See below for information on bears coming out of hibernation

  • The Racquet Sports Committee held a Racquet Sports Community Update via Zoom on Thursday, April 24th at 4pm MDT and shared the exciting developments for the 2025 Racquet Sports season.

    The Community Update document outlines the plans for the Arrowhead 2025 racquet sports season.

  • After a very successful initial year of partnership with racquet sports management firm Beyond the Baselines, Arrowhead has renewed and extended the partnership. Beyond the Baselines will continue to direct Arrowhead’s racquet sports program through 2027.

    Chris Nelson returns as Arrowhead Director of Racquet Sports and Juli Young returns as Head Pickleball Professional.

    The 2025 Tennis and Pickleball schedules will be published soon on the Arrowhead website. Get your racquets ready!

  • Did you know - With a nose that’s 100 times more sensitive than ours, a bear can literally smell food five miles away!

    Bears are very smart and have great memories - once they find food, they come back for more.

    To keep the bears from getting into trouble, Arrowhead Public Safety has provided the following guidelines on how to Be Bear Aware – and deter any potential bear problems:

    •  All trash must be in Wildlife Resistant containers and only placed out on the day of pickup.  Make sure latches are secure when putting trash cans out for pickup. * 

    • All food sources, such as dog food and bird feeders, should be removed from outside of the home.  While a bird feeder might be placed where a bear cannot reach it, the bird feeder will still attract bears to your home.

    • Close and lock doors into your home.  Many bear invasions happen when homeowners leave doors open and the bears come through the screen to the home.  Bears will paw at a door they want to go through, and lever door handles are an easy way for bears to open your door.  Please lock them.

    • Close and lock lower windows into your home.  Even small openings in a window can allow the bear to pull the window open.


    Arrowhead Public Safety has a bear deterrent program and routinely patrols the community 24 hours a day looking for any potential bear problems.   If you have questions or concerns, please contact Arrowhead Public Safety at 970-926-2588.  

    For more information on bears, visit the Colorado Parks and Wildlife website here.

    *Please contact Vail Honeywagon at 970-476-3511 to obtain compliant trash and recycling containers.

  • In 2024, the Arrowhead Metro District completed wildfire fuel reduction on an additional 223.5 acres of land surrounding Arrowhead with partners, Eagle Valley Wildland and the Eagle River Fire District.  This was the goal for the year, and brings the total number of acres mitigated to 375 acres.  To Arrowhead’s immediate west there are 140 remaining acres of land that the Metro District feels must be mitigated for wildfires by dramatically reducing fuel loads, and they are committed to finishing that piece in 2025.  It is possible that the Edwards Metro District and the Homestead Homeowners Association may participate financially in that last remaining piece, but rest assured that the work will be supported by the Arrowhead Metro District whether they do or not.
