Adjoining living and family rooms each have leather seating, TV and sound system.
The dining table is large enough for everyone to eat together (we make puzzles at one end and dine at the other). It's also perfect for corporate meetings.

Here are some of the kitchen amenities:
- dishwasher, oven, fridge/freezer, microwave

EXPERIENCE:
Ski in... right to the house, then enter through one of two foyers to shed your gear. In spring, open the door and follow the creek up Tod Mountain to find peaceful walking trails through the woods and alpine meadows.
It's impossible to overstate the grandeur of our open-air hot tub. Star gaze in the evening, watch skiers glide by in winter - or listen to the creek in spring, and sit in awe any time of year and soak in the majestic view before you. The surrounding evergreen trees also offer privacy.
A barbeque area overlooks the hot tub.
The spacious front deck is situated to take in the panoramic view; relax on adirondack chairs while watching for wildlife or playing games.
TIP: It has been the site of wedding ceremonies!
Formerly known as Auski Chalet, watch for updates on the pictures and description on our website blog as the house is updated.
"... we have stayed in many ski chalets over the years, and yours was one of the best! "

• HRV air-exchange replenishes stale air with fresh. Air is cooled in summer and warmed in winter
