Mistake #1: Wrong Location...Inferior Ski Access
If you have the capacity to own a home anywhere, why would you compromise the convenience of ski access?
When you're searching for the right ski home for your family, don't buy a ski home first and later learn the truth later that your ski access is an icy luge run down a steep hill into your ski room-or even worse-an exhausting crawl uphill to start your ski day.
The perfect ski home has gentle ski access that allows beginners and skiers of all ages to easily and painlessly access the ski runs.
See how easy the ski access is in the photo to the right? A level approach through an open glade of aspens provides easy ski-in access. A gently sloping downhill ski-out makes for an easy traverse back onto the run for skiers and snowboarders alike.
Beware the marketing liberties often taken by over-eager real estate agents, but homes in The Colony really do have amazing ski access!
