Skiing is more than a glamorous, cardio-intensive sport: It’s a lifestyle. Where better to enjoy that lifestyle than in a multi-million-dollar ski-in, ski-out property? Modern developers have created luxury ski homes, condos, and log cabins near popular mountain resorts which offer both privacy and a convivial social setting. There is ski resort real estate—and then for those who want to get away from it all, there are prime mountain homes far from the madding crowd, cross-country skiing trails, and Alpine chalets alone on the mountain slope, where all that fresh, white powder awaits. It’s not all downhill when summer comes and there’s no snow. The ski resort area is a warm-weather destination for climbing, hiking, and mountain biking.
