S K I : UNITED STATES LUXURY SKI RESORTS

The RE/MAX Collection

A

s the winter season draws closer, now is the time to start planning that much needed luxury ski vacation or to find that second home you have always wanted to spend your winter vacations in. As the weather begins to get colder and snow begins to fall in the higher altitudes, the United States offers a plethora of luxury areas— some of which you might find very surprising—where you can hit the slopes, enjoy fine dining, and relax with luxury amenities that only these top resorts can offer.

With breathtaking mountain ranges on the West Coast like the Sierra Nevadas and the Rocky Mountains, there is no shortage of luxury resorts. From California to Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, and Utah, now the decision is where to go.

CALIFORNIA More than just beaches and palm trees, the state of California is topographically vast and winter gives “California Dreaming” a whole new meaning.

LAKE TAHOE | Located in the Sierra Nevadas, the blue waters of Lake Tahoe straddle the border of California and Nevada. At its surface elevation of 6,225 feet, it is the largest alpine lake in North America. Some of the major ski areas include Heavenly, Squaw Valley, and Northstar. The landscape is breathtaking throughout the year, offering winter and summer attractions to visitors from all over the world. The roads are accessible year-round, and on the Nevada side [of the lake], guests can enjoy several popular casinos. www.laketahoe.com Real estate here is just as vast as the terrain. Luxury homes and residences can be found on and around the mountain. Further from the major attractions, the prices begin to drop and future buyers can look to surrounding towns like Truckee to still offer the amenities they are looking for.

View of Lake Tahoe

For places to stay, you might want to consider renting a luxury cabin or home—just be sure to book in advance as these must-have rentals won’t hang around for long. For hotel accommodations visit The Ritz Carlton in Lake Tahoe. The resort features ski-in ski-out access with superior concierge services.

The RE/MAX Collection

MAMMOTH | Mammoth Mountain is a large ski resort located southeast of Lake Tahoe, along the eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas in the Inyo National Forest.

With more than 3,500 acres of skiable terrain serviced by 28 lifts, including two gondolas, rising to an elevation of 11,053 feet, Mammoth enjoys a long ski season from November to June. Skiers can enjoy challenging chutes, open mogul runs, and eight unbound terrain parks. Unbound Main is highly praised by extreme skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts, and is one of the major attractions of this ski resort. Many of the top professionals, including gold medalist Shaun White, come to practice and compete in the world-famous 18-foot Super Pipe and the 22-foot Super-Duper Pipe. www.mammothmountain.com Like in most prestigious ski resorts you can find pockets of luxury homes everywhere.

The price will always be determined by location, convenience, and views. However, in Mammoth it is still possible to find affordable living in condos in and around the mountain that are perfect for a winter retreat.

Aspen, Colorado

COLORADO When most people think of skiing in the United States, they think about the Rocky Mountain state of Colorado. With some of the most ultra-luxury resorts in the world, Colorado is constantly ranked as the place to be and ski.

ASPEN | Named for its abundance of aspen trees, Aspen’s history has been a series of economic booms and declines, but it found its footing when Aspen Mountain was developed into the ski resort we know today. Popularized by American culture, it has been called the ideal place to vacation and raise a family by many musicians and movie stars. As a result of the influx of wealth, Aspen boasts the most expensive real estate prices in the United States, and yet it still remains a popular tourist destination. www.aspensnowmass.com For lodging visit Hotel Jerome, located in the heart of Aspen. Since 1889, Hotel Jerome has served and indulged guests with relaxed elegance, personalized service, exceptional accommodations, and modern amenities found only at the world’s most luxurious boutique hotels.

Vail, Colorado

6 | Ski : United States - Luxury Ski Resorts

The RE/MAX Collection

VAIL | Originally established as base village for the United States Forest For lodging, stay at the luxury mountaintop getaway of Trappers Cabin, and Service, Vail officially opened in December 1962 for its first season with only a gondola lift and two ski lifts. The small village with the largest mountain in Colorado began to grow quickly with the right developers, ski instructors, and restaurateurs. By 1969, it was the most popular ski resort in the state and in 1988 it opened China Bowl, making it the largest ski area in North America.

Since then it has been hailed as the quintessential ski resort with great skiing for all ages and levels, and a pedestrian-only village that offers fine dining, exceptional service, and vibrant events. www.vail.com The community of Vail is broken up into three different areas: Vail, Vail Village, and West Vail. Of these, West Vail offers the highest price tag for luxury real estate. Of course buyers can still look to the other areas for homes where the price tag is less extreme.

For lodging visit Lodge and Spa at Cordillera. Reminiscent of a Belgian country estate, the intimate lodge is situated on a 6,500-acre private reserve offering guests panoramic views of Vail Valley and the Colorado Rockies. Boasting hospitality in the finest European tradition, guests can relax at the spa, dine like royalty, and enjoy activities such as snowmobiling, sledding, tubing, ice-skating, snowshoeing, and snow biking.

BEAVER CREEK | Beaver Creek oozes European elegance, from the slopes to the village dotted with boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants. Luxury accommodations largely consist of upscale hotels and condos with instant access to chair lifts and scenic rides as you make your way up the mountain, including a covered escalator from the village direct to the slopes! There are also 50 miles of mountain biking and 62 miles of hiking trails, Jeep tours, horseback riding, rock climbing, white water rafting, fly-fishing, golfing, tennis, live music, culinary and wine festivals, and more. www.beavercreek.com Homes here are extremely luxurious and the residents enjoy a secluded and high-end community.

opt for the Premium Package, where a private chef will come cook for you and your guests, and your cabin keeper will keep you topped-off with champagne.

TELLURIDE | Often compared to Aspen, Telluride prides itself by offering all the lux without the heirs. According to the locals the difference is the attitude.

While Aspen is the place to be seen, Telluride is the place where celebrities can put on their ski boots and blend in. Telluride has gained a reputation for being “Colorado’s best-kept secret.” In 2007 and 2008, the ski area opened some of the most extreme, in-bound, hike-to terrain in the country. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of activities in the winter including cat skiing, dog sledding, heli-skiing, ice climbing, Nordic skiing, ice biking, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and much more. www.telluride.com Most of the real estate you will find here is ultra luxurious, with homes averaging about $1.5 million and upwards to $10 million and above. As you move from the base of the mountain toward Mountain Village, the homes are still super luxurious, but the condos and apartments become more affordable.

IDAHO More than just a state of potatoes, Idaho’s Ketchum Valley offers breathtaking views and an unbelievable skiing destination in Sun Valley.

SUN VALLEY | In 1935, Count Felix Schaffgotsch was commissioned by the Union Pacific Railroad to search for the most perfect North American ski destination. After months of exploring, the Count came upon Ketchum Valley and was overwhelmed. After just seven months of construction, Sun Valley opened to the public in the winter of 1936. Bald Mountain, or “Baldy,” has a summit of 9,150 feet and a vertical drop of 3,400 feet. With its abundance of constant-pitch terrain, at varying degrees of difficulty, coupled with its substantial vertical drop and absence of wind, Baldy has often been referred to as one of the best ski mountains in the world. www.sunvalley.com

SKI : United States - Luxury Ski Resorts | 7

The RE/MAX Collection

Real estate in Sun Valley is all about location and is the cream of the crop for luxury real estate in Idaho. The higher-priced homes are located along the popular vistas, with more reasonable pockets of condos around Elk Horn Village.

MONTANA Not typically thought of as the destination for a luxury vacation, Montana just might surprise you. Away from it all, Montana’s luxury resorts cater to those with discerning tastes.

UTAH In the beautiful Beehive state, visitors can experience some of the most awe-inspiring landscape in the United States. Bisected by the Rocky Mountains, Utah offers luxury ski locales to spend your time. There are two distinct ski resorts: Park City and Deer Valley, just outside of Salt Lake City. Both were major locations at the 2002 Winter Olympics. Although they receive less snow and have a shorter ski season than their counterparts, they are much easier to access.

BIG SKY MONTANA | Located just 15 miles from the northwestern border of PARK CITY | On average the tourist population in Park City greatly exceeds the Yellowstone National Park, Big Sky is the main ski resort in Montana. Originally two large ski resorts, Big Sky Resort and Moonlight Basin, the two merged in October 2013, and has since become the “Biggest Skiing in America.” The area of Big Sky is broken up into three sections: The Meadow, the Mountain, and the Canyon. Each area offers unique experiences for guests and locals. www.bigskyresort.com

number of permanent residents. Home to the Sundance Film Festival, United States Ski Team, a bobsled/skeleton/luge track at the Utah Olympic Park, the largest collection of factory outlet stores in northern Utah, and several golf courses, Park City has it all. The entertainment-seeking tourist can enjoy several clubs, bars, and restaurants, nearby reservoirs, hot springs, forests, and hiking and biking trails. www.visitparkcity.com

For those looking for the ultimate in luxury, look to Yellowstone Club and Spanish Peaks Mountain Club. These member-only resorts are situated in the heart of Big Sky. Stunning homes and luxurious log cabins, many of which have ski access to Big Sky Resort, grace the hills surrounding the captivating golf courses. Those in search of a little more elbow room will find larger 20-acre parcels that offer up a more intimate and private setting on which to build a custom residence.

Known for top-notch amenities and world-class skiing, Park City and the more exclusive Deer Valley continually win over buyers. Because of their close proximity, the area is separated in four distinct areas: Lower Deer Valley, Upper Deer Valley, Deer Crest, and Empire Pass. All of these areas are suitable to purchase a single family home or condominium and each have their benefits and drawbacks. Since you can reach the ski resort within 40 minutes from the Salt Lake City International Airport, this is a huge benefit to owning property within these areas.

YELLOWSTONE CLUB & SPANISH PEAKS | You may not have heard of these resorts before, and that’s how it should be. These resorts pride themselves on offering privacy and peace. Take comfort in knowing that security is handled by former US Secret Service Agents. While on the slopes, enjoy sugar shacks for a place to warm up and get some sweet treats before hitting the slopes again. Guests can enjoy custom residences and convenient ski access to their own private powder. www.yellowstoneclub.com | www.spanishpeaksmountainclub.com

DEER VALLEY | Deer Valley Resort is known for its upscale amenities, is consistently ranked among the top ski resorts in North America, and is popular for its freestyle moguls, aerial, and alpine slalom ski areas. With a number of other large ski resorts nearby, Deer Valley competes by catering to a more upscale audience than its neighbors, offering amenities such as free ski valets, free parking shuttles, fine dining, boutique shopping in the

The RE/MAX Collection

main lodge, and avoids overcrowding by limiting the ticket sales per day. It was also one of the first resorts to offer ski valets, free parking lot shuttles, a state-licensed child care facility, uniforms on all its employees, refer to customers as “guests,” provide complimentary overnight ski check services, and even has tissues in the lift lines. www.deervalley.com

WYOMING Usually regarded as a state with very few tourist attractions, Wyoming is home to one of the most luxurious ski resorts in the western United States, Jackson Hole.

JACKSON HOLE | In the valley between the Teton Mountain Range and the Gros Ventre Range, Teton Village is located just 12 miles northwest of Jackson and a 40-minute drive from Jackson Airport. With its peak season from November through April, guests can enjoy access to two mountains, Apres Vous and Rendezvous, 2,500 acres of rugged in-bound terrain, and 133 named runs with a mix between expert, intermediate, and beginner.

Jackson Hole is home to many of the world’s best free skiers as the terrain is considered to be some of the most challenging in North America. With even larger areas to explore, only the most expert of skiers who are avalanche prepared can access these areas by marked gates. Jackson Hole is also home to “America’s scariest slope”— Corbet’s Couloir. About ten feet wide at the entrance with rock faces on three sides, it opens up quickly. Entrance into the couloir requires dropping off a cornice with a free fall ranging from 10 to 20 feet. Visitors can travel around the resort and ski slopes via several avenues, including in the 100-passenger aerial tram and an eight-passenger high-speed gondola. And if you enjoy snowboarding, there is a half pipe and two terrain parks. If the slower place is what interests you, Jackson Hole offers some of the best wildlife viewing. www.jacksonhole.com

Rugged Grand Teton

Real estate here ranges from $1,500,000 to $2,500,000, with a majority of these homes averaging 3,317 square feet, on lots from 0.15 to 9.68 acres, and one to five bedrooms. You can find luxury homes in a resort setting to equestrian-oriented properties that are frequently located farther from the resort.

The RE/MAX Collection

Although the East Coast may not hold a candle to the west in terms of its notoriety with luxury ski resorts, it’s important to not discount it. New England is all about charming ski towns and classic skiing. Real estate prices around ski resorts are much more reasonable here than its counterparts to the west. And you can be sure to find luxury homes near the base of the mountain, even though prices may fluctuate based on location. But if you are looking for a second home and the east coast is more suited to your taste, chances are very good you will be able to find what you are looking for.

VERMONT Looking for some of the best skiing on the east coast? Look no further than Vermont.

From luxury resorts to classic ski towns and heart-racing runs, the Green Mountain state definitely lives up to its name.

KILLINGTON | Nicknamed The Beast of the East, Killington is the biggest ski resort in New England with six peaks, lots of lifts, several trails, parks, and extensive lodging plus a very lively après-ski. Killington offers a long ski season from October to May with mixed terrain for every ability—the mountain is split almost evenly between greens, blues, and blacks.

Skiers can also enjoy an array of moguls and steep groomers dropping from Killington Peak and Bear Mountain. The Stash, a terrain park with more than 50 features and a 500-foot Super Pipe with 18-foot walls, is where snow boarders and free skiers get their heart pumping. There’s a lot to do off-mountain, too, from tubing to snowmobile tours. This is what East Coast skiing is all about. www.killington.com

OKEMO | Okemo makes the list for its quality skiing, with great lifts (high-speed lifts with two heated leather seats and bubble cover), amazing snow grooming, and lovely views of the Vermont river valley. What sets Okemo apart is the friendly service and the best mountain cuisine in New England. Sushi at the summit, wood-fired flat bread pizza at the Round House, signature martinis and a Wine Spectator list at Coleman Brook Tavern. www.okemo.com

LOON | Loon is New Hampshire’s most extensive ski resort with three separate

skiing amid a European-style village and eclectic international crowd. Most of the trails cater to intermediate and advanced skiers with some of the country’s gnarliest skiing with the legendary “Front Four”—National, Nosedive, the Goat, and Star. There are several terrain parks catering to different abilities, free guided mountain tours, and a Nordic center with miles of groomed trails and back country terrain. Stowe also offers five-star lodging, après-ski, lunch atop the summit, and a base village with outdoor fireplaces, shopping, an ice rink, and a performing arts center. www.stowe.com

mountains peaks: North, Loon, and South. The resort offers easy access with pleasing terrain and extraordinary views of the White Mountains. The lifts are swift, with high-speed quads and a signature gondola serving over 60 trails, plus terrain parks, and the lodging in the towns of Lincoln and Woodstock is plentiful. www.mtnclub.com

STRATTON | Stratton Mountain stands within the watershed of the Connecticut River. The mountain has two peaks, of which the southern is the highest at 3,940 feet. The mountain ridge descends northward to a saddle at 3,830 feet, before rising to the north peak at 3,875 feet. The south summit is wooded, except for the small clearing housing the tower and caretaker’s cabin. The tower was built around 1934 by a crew of the Civilian Conservation Corps, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as one of the state’s last surviving towers. Stratton offers posh lifts, a gondola, and six-passenger chairs. Stratton also has valet parking, a nice Intrawest base village with a new lodge, and great customer service. www.stratton.com

NEW HAMPSHIRE New Hampshire has declared skiing as their official winter sport.

BRETTON WOODS | With the largest mountain on the eastern seaboard, Mount Washington, skiing Bretton Woods is a must for thrill seekers and history buffs alike. With a history beginning in the 1700s, this Mount Washington resort offers unforgettable views and experiences. The lifts are modern and the terrain is pleasing, with over 464 acres of alpine and Nordic trails. Recognized for the third year in a row for the “Best Grooming in the East” by readers of SKI magazine, Bretton Woods remains a top choice for skiers and riders alike. www.brettonwoods.com

MAINE Maine has some mighty big ski mountains and offers some of the best places to ski with full-service ski resorts. When it comes to real estate, buyers must decide on slope-side or off-mountain home. Prices per square foot costs more for slope-side properties than off-mountain, but the trade-off is the ability to walk out the door directly to the slopes. There are a variety of options from studio condos up to six-bedroom townhomes. Associations, which are very common, offer homeowners ease of access for those who wish to rent their property while they are away.

SUNDAY RIVER | If you are looking for serious snow conditions, from October through April, visit Sunday River for the best snow. It stretches three miles across eight peaks with a super-efficient lift system (including a hybrid chondola lift) and some of the best grooming. www.sundayriver.com

SUGARLOAF | Sugarloaf, in northern Maine, is legendary and dates back to 1950. It offers the East’s only above tree line snowfields from the 4,237foot scenic summit, 2,820-foot continuous vertical, and a very loyal skier following of “Loafers.” Stay at the Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel for the best onslope lodging and you can walk to the lifts and enjoy the famous Sugarloaf après-ski. www.sugarloafmd.com Skiers in the US are just as serious as the slopes you can find here. As each winter season comes and goes, visitors come to see what these mountains have in store for them. And as always, relaxing and vacationing in luxury is never a bad way to spend your time!

SKI : CANADA

LUXURY SKI RESORTS

Panorama of view of Whistler Mountain from Blackcomb Mountain

C

anada offers a vast expanse of mountains with resorts spanning the country. Today, many in the skiing world consider that Canada competes with the best when it comes to the snow, terrain and its resorts. Its cold snowy winters and steep mountain terrain attracts skiers and snow boarders from around the world.

No matter your experience level, there is skiing for all. Another huge plus to skiing in Canada is that every resort has a ski area boundary marked by signs or a rope. Everywhere within the boundary is avalanche controlled and patrolled, so your safety is always paramount.

Spacious and luxurious lodgings offer a warm welcome and luxury property enclaves have grown exponentially over the last 10-15 years, especially as there are now many direct international flights to Calgary, Vancouver, Kelowna, and Montreal.

BRITISH COLUMBIA British Columbia outranks all of the other Canadian provinces in terms of the number of luxury mountain resorts. Steep mountain ranges start at the coast

and line up all the way to the Canadian Rockies, allowing for a plethora of skiing and winter entertainment options. Its location north of the 49th parallel causes wet Pacific storms to collide with arctic temperatures, which creates the perfect combination for a perfect ski season. Only ski resorts in British Columbia offer heli-skiing, so if jumping out of a helicopter on top of a mountain and enjoying “face shots” on your way down sounds like you, skiing in British Columbia is the only way to go.

WHISTLER BLACKCOMB | North of Vancouver lies Whistler Blackcomb, Canada’s biggest and most versatile terrain. Skiers can enjoy more than 8,000 acres on two mountains with groomed courses, steep chutes, big bowls, glades, and an annual snowfall of 10 meters. You could ski here for days and still not hit the same run twice, with more than 200 marked runs, 16 alpine bowls, and three glaciers on over 3,200 hectares of incredibly beautiful terrain, it’s easy to see why.

If skiing is not what you are looking for, you are still in luck. Guests can enjoy a bevy of activities like dog-sledding, a tube park, zip-lines through snowladen trees, snow cat tours, bobsled and skeleton racing on the Olympic

The RE/MAX Collection

track, and in their downtime visit the trendy shops and eateries in Whistler Village. For a more high-end experience, guests can enjoy helicopter rides, luxury condos and chalets with ski-in and ski-out access, private instructors, heli-skiing, high-altitude viewing, some of the best après-ski with welcoming cocktail lounges, luxury spas, fine dining, and shopping.

Real estate saw its first boom in the early 1990s and since then many of the world’s elite have built private ski homes—from traditional to ultra modern— but with an understanding of the importance of capturing the stunning scenery through extraordinary architecture. Prices saw a plateau between 2008-2015, but this last year has seen a luxury market resurgence from a combination of a stronger US dollar and interest from the Chinese in the world of skiing. www.whistlerblackcomb.com Along with top skiing, Whistler is home to some of the world’s top ski hotels.

Take your pick from Whistler’s Fairmont, Four Seasons, Pan Pacific, Westin, or Hilton; they all earn five-stars as luxury ski properties.

REVELSTOKE & KICKING HORSE | Known as the up-and-coming ski resorts of British Columbia, Revelstoke and Kicking Horse offer skiing for any enthusiast.

Keep an eye on these resorts as their popularity grows with each season and skiers are coming away raving.

Real estate in the actual mountain village is in its infancy here compared to the established resorts of Europe and the US. With private enclaves offering estate lots for building your dream home or the ability to purchase a turnkey luxury suites at the base of each mountain.

East of Kamloops is Revelstoke on Mount Mackenzie. With a vertical drop of 1,713 meters, it is the longest of any ski resort in North America. With 3,031 acres, 40 designated trails, served primarily by a high-speed gondola lift, two different chair lifts, or a surface lift, guests can enjoy skiing all day with ease of access up and down the mountain. If you are looking for other things to do, try

out heli-skiing or cat skiing. www.revelstokemountainresort.com For lodging, the Sutton Place Hotel offers luxurious amenities just steps from the gondola. At the end of the day, hand your skis over to the ski valet and enjoy your modern alpine suite with endless views.

Located in Golden, Kicking Horse is gaining popularity with the fourth highest vertical drop in North America at 1,260 meters. Nicknamed Champagne Powder with its light and dry powder, it makes skiing the 2,800 acres very easy and enjoyable. Open from mid-December to mid-April, visitors can enjoy tubing, snowshoeing, ice skating, mountain tours, and gondola sightseeing.

For adventure seekers, look into heli-skiing—remember this is champagne powder country. www.kickinghorseresort.com In the town of Golden there are hot springs, a climbing gym, snowmobiling, dog sled adventures, and so much more. Foodies will want to reserve a table at The Eagle’s Eye Restaurant, the highest level of cuisine in Canada. After dinner, take the gondola up 2,410 meters above sea level and be treated to a 360-degree view of the Rocky, Selkirk, and Purcell mountain ranges.

With all there is to do on the mountain, you will want to stay slope side. Glacier Mountaineer Lodge, in the heart of Kicking Horse’s ski village, is just steps from the gondola and offer two grand lodgings, Glacier and Mountaineer.

SUN PEAKS & SILVER STAR | If you are looking for a family-centric getaway, look no further than Sun Peaks or Silver Star. These resorts cater to families and so does the snow—light and dry powder makes skiing easy even for the most novice of skier. Real estate has been driven by these family ski resorts, with luxury properties keenly positioned to capture the ski-in ski-out experience offering spacious homes designed to accommodate—including oversized snow equipment storage areas. Prices have climbed steadily over the years but compared to many resorts, luxury is still very obtainable in both resorts.

Guests enjoying a mountain tour at Sun Peaks

It is just steps to the après-ski pubs, shops and restaurants in the fun festive village. The outdoor Jacuzzi is the envy of everyone not staying here, so enjoy the “joie de vivre.”

Eastern Townships, where an abundance of quaint bed and breakfasts as well as resort-style lodging options are provided for guests, features areas like Mont Orford, Ski Bromont, Mont Sutton, and Owl’s Head.

LE MASSIF & MONT SAINTE-ANNE | Le Massif, Mont Saint-Sauveur, Stoneham, and Mont Sainte-Anne are all close enough to Quebec City that you can take a day trip and still enjoy the European flavor of the city or stay at the resorts for the full mountain experience.

SKI : Canada - Luxury Ski Resorts | 9 Advanced skiers and riders can visit Le Massif, known for its commanding views of the St. Lawrence with steep runs, state-of-the-art facilities, and tantalizing cuisine. Le Massif in Charlevoix has the highest vertical drop, 770 meter, and the largest snowfall east of the Canadian Rockies, and 40-plus runs.

The resort is also host to multiple winter activities including cross country skiing, snowshoeing, dog sledding, paragliding, sleigh rides, and ice skating. www.mont-sainte-anne.com While skiing may be a pastime in Europe—a combination of activity with long lunches and the famous après-ski—in Canada snow activities are considered to be more sporting in nature. Every winter sees the lovers of snow flock from all over the world to test their skills with these powerful mountain ranges and of course, after a hard day’s work its important to indulge in a little luxury!
