For adventure lovers looking to avoid the long lift lines and touristy hassles encountered at places like Taos and Telluride this time of year--give Powder Mountain--outside of Salt Lake City, Utah a drop-in.

North America's largest ski resort by skiable acreage is also an under the radar après playground for visitors seeking a genuine community experience.

Thought Leaders Have Been Among Powder Mountains First Home Builders

These 10,000 acres of champagne powder in the Wasatch Mountains are just minutes from the airport, but miles away from an ordinary ski resort. In fact, Powder Mountain has quickly become the select startup ski town for C-suite elites--drawing the likes of Richard Branson and Netflix CEO Reed Hastings among its early real estate investors.

"Powder Mountain’s Summit is set under a brilliant, open sky, looking out at 10,000 acres. Each home is a work of art providing a contemporary, sustainable aesthetic," says Melanie Sanchez of the Abbi Agency.

Summit at Powder Mountain is the brain-child of the four young tech entrepreneurs who founded the summit series-a networking group whose past speakers have included Amazon's Jeff Bezos and President Bill Clinton.

A Different Breed of Alpine Architecture

Contemporary sustainable homes in a heritage modern style have been designed along the slopes by leading architects such as Studio Ma, Olson Kundig and Warren Lloyd, to name a few.

Tom Buttgenbach, President and CEO of 8minute Solar Energy and a Summit Powder Mountain homeowner says, "having a home on top of a mountain with incredible views, walkable access to the heart of the village and ski-in-ski-out is unique in any ski resort," Buttgenbach especially enjoys the communal aspects available to him on Powder Mountain where "communicating with other like-minded people in this community [is] not only a smart financial investment but also an investment into intangible values for myself and my family.

With 57 new homesites available at the Overlook on Powder Mountain, Summit is hoping to attract legacy buyers looking for not just ski-in-ski-out access from their front door, but all of the inspiration and intentional community building the village has to offer.

For vacationers, Powder Mountain provides the alternative to the too-rustic log-cabins or over-crowded faux-swiss chalets that pepper the mountains of the world's most popular ski destinations. Instead, visitors here enjoy healthy food prepared by Michelin star chefs and listen to live music or TED-style speakers in one of four distinct lodges scattered about the property from the valley to the peak.

Room To Breathe And Ski With Stunning Views

Powder Mountain seeks to provide a premier powder experience by capping the number of lift tickets allowed on its nine ski lifts. Heli-skiing and cat skiing are also available along with a complimentary tour of the resort for each guest.

The Summit at Powder Mountain is an intriguing concept, combining fresh powder in a remote setting alongside powerful people and events focused on purposeful living. Will Utah's freshest tracks become the new trend in luxury getaways? Go ski for yourself.

The Four Seasons – Vail

If seven miles of Colorado Rocky alpine runs aren't enough to pack the fleeces and head to this high elevation paradise, visitors also enjoy the boutique shopping found in Vail's charming Tyrolean-style village.

The Four Seasons Resort and Residences in Vail offers the luxurious experience guests have come to expect from the Four Seasons brand within steps of Colorado's best skiing location. 

Modern mountain cuisine is dished inside or out day or night from a selection of restaurants fitting for the dramatic views. Take a cocktail out on one of the heated terraces, or cozy up with a loved one beside one of the many stone fireplaces.

Muscles that become sore from a day on the slopes can relax at the award-winning spa. The services include a bevy of organic and state-of-the-art treatments dialed in for maximum effectiveness in cold weather and high-altitude conditions.

The comfortable rooms include fine leather furniture for relaxing and soaking in the dramatic views, while private gas-burning fireplaces bedside keep toes toasty and spirits high.

Whistler, British Columbia has some of the best skiing experiences on the planet. The Fairmont Chateau in Whistler, located at the foot of Blackcomb Mountain is in the prime location for ski in and out resort experiences.

Built in a classic chateau style, this 12 story charmer is a picturesque basecamp for having a winter adventure with the whole family.

Hotel Airelles – Courchevel

It's no secret that France boasts some of the best ski resorts in the world. The mythical palace appearance of the Hotel Airelles in beautiful Courchevel will blow your mind with atmosphere and service.

Come for the Olympic-level skiing (Courchevel was the location of the ski jump and Nordic combined events during the Winter Olympics of 1992) stay for the exquisite French dining and opulent chalet accommodations.

Plush chamber rooms decked out in equal parts rich wood, and heirloom fabrics present a timeless environment where decadence reigns supreme.

Order in a tray of sweet brioche and wash it down with a sparkling mimosa before skiing out into the winter wonderland of the French countryside.

Four Seasons – Jackson Hole

Wyoming's Grand Tetons are a majestic sight all year long. It's almost unfair that the area offers incredible skiing as well.

For the best ski in and out opportunity in Jackson Hole, head to the Four Seasons Resort surrounded by this breathtaking mountain range.

The hotel balances the rustic feel of the West with five-star luxury rooms and dining. In the evening, sip a craft cocktail at the popular slope-side bar or enjoy an entire romantic dinner in the privacy of your suite.  

For skiers looking to mix downhill runs with a taste of the grand Americana-this is the outpost to hit.  

More info and booking.

A proper ski resort is never about one thing. It must provide a healthy mix of comfort, luxury, warmth, good weather, great food and drink, and of course, mountainous layers of light snow.

Ski-in and out of one of these high-class resorts, and you won't just be floating down mountains, you'll be increasing the amplitude of your entire trip.

The post These Are The Top Luxury Ski In And Ski Out Resorts Of The Year appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

The plan with this area is to buy a piece of this pristine land in the Rockies, and build one’s own cabin to be a part of the 15 families that will soon inhabit the terrain. To put that in perspective, once all the sections of this property are sold to each of the 15 families, it will yield over 100 acres of untouched land to ski for each family alone. Stop thinking about the other big ski destinations and find a piece that can be entirely your own at CMC.

The team that runs the club is also veterans of the area’s ski industry. Throughout the 90’s and 00’s, Jim Aronstein and his wife Patsy searched high and low throughout the Rocky Mountain States to find only this site up to their standards. They’ve also brought on as senior members the former leaders of the Aspen Skiing Co, Telluride Ski Resort, and the former mayor and President of Vail Resorts to help streamline the beautiful club they’ve created.

(Side Note: I actually don’t really like skiing. My family does, but I don’t. I do love ski chalets, and hot chocolate with some brandy in it near big fireplaces. Let me just say, this place checks those blocks off in a big way. While skiing may be the reason for the season at Cimarron Mountain Club, the space is also full of other amenities from snowshoeing, flat tire biking, steam rooms, a pool and hot tub, fitness center, hiking, snowcats, and side-by-sides. I could go here for a full vacation and never strap into skis and have just as incredible of a time. Not to mention, the same reason people are flocking here because tourists in Aspen hog all the fresh powder, think of how much cocoa you’ll be able to drink while they’re all out skiing. Just saying, as a note to all the non-skiers out there….)

The property is also moved to a luxury lifestyle. The cabins are a beautiful way to relax and take in the great outdoors in the region, while still being able to put your own spin on how to live in the area. While the lodge has worked with various hoteliers in the region for how to make the most luxurious stay possible for residents, members can also be deeded a site on the land to build their own cabin, if they desire. To buy into the area comes with a price tag of $3.2 million to buy in, with an additional $50,000 per year to maintain. With more terrain collectively than Aspen Mountain available to member families given access, CMC is the destination you need to be a part of this Winter to avoid another season of claustrophobic runs down the slope. Be a part of this team and live in luxury on 35-acre sections of the land while being free to ski at last.
