Editor’s Note

It’s as if ski resorts and the rugged mountains of the American West were made for one another. I certainly feel that way about my home in the Vail Valley, and the ski, snowboard, and winter lifestyle experiences provided by the four distinctive resort areas in Eagle County. It’s probably no surprise that one of my favorite things about my profession is being a “real estate and lifestyle matchmaker”. I’ve set my sights on winter and put the same attention to detail into the season of winter lifestyle matchmaking.

Since the 1960’s, and before in some cases, the vistas, lifestyle and luxury experiences of mountain resorts have drawn thrill seekers and alpine aficionados to the West. In the winter edition of the Little Blue Book I’ll highlight some of Colorado and the West’s most sought after luxury ski and snowboard resorts, what makes them unique, and the types of real estate opportunities that can be expected in each. Whether your favorite resort is a former mining town or a resort destination built specifically for

snowsports, there is sure to be a place within this edition that speaks to you.

I’ve drawn on my network of top real estate advisors from each resort area to bring you a beautifully designed and curated guide that showcases not only the winter mountain resort lifestyle, but a collection of luxurious resort properties and broker expertise.

Now more than ever, people are considering what their ideal lifestyle looks like and how they can take advantage of opportunities throughout the Mountain West.

The many benefits of top agents working together is well known, but a network of SIR agents focused specifically on luxury resort communities is now assembled to put top resort real estate expertise and distinctive properties one call away.

Sincerely, Andie Ohde Vail, Colorado
