The Rocky Mountains are a special place, offering serenity, solace, and most famously SKIING. When one is searching for a ski resort property, it is important to choose an experienced specialist in the mountain lifestyle. As a lifelong skier herself and long-time real estate broker, Heidi Bintz is your go-to professional in the Vail Valley.

983 Beaver Dam Road, Vail - Sold for $9,800,000

Heidi began skiing at the age of three on the ski hill that her father built, Bintz Apple Mountain, in mid-Michigan. She began working in her family’s ski shop at 12 years old and competed on local ski teams for 8 years. She taught her first ski lesson at 15, and at 18 years old became the youngest certified ski instructor with the Professional Ski Instructors of America organization.

In 1985, Heidi followed her passion for skiing to fulfill her dream of living “out west” for one ski season. One ski season turned into one summer, which has turned into 36 amazing years of living in the Vail Valley.

348 Cresta Road, Arrowhead - Sold for $2,951,500

In 1991 Heidi co-founded Kenny’s Double Diamond Ski Shop located steps away from the base of Vail mountain. Under Heidi’s stewardship, the ski shop was twice recognized as the Rockies Regional winner in “America’s Best Ski Shops” by Snow Country Magazine and the Rockies Regional Gold Medal Ski Shop and Rockies Regional Gold Medal Ski Shop of the Year by SKI Magazine.

Heidi then founded the Double Diamond Ski Clinics for Women Only, serving more than 800 women. This ski clinic was nationally known as the first of its kind, acknowledging that “women are not small men” on the ski hill, and as such need personalized and specialized equipment and skills designed for women. The clinics’ principles have continued to guide ski equipment manufacturers over the past decades as more women-specific skis and boots have become mainstream in today’s snowsports industry.

Beaver Creek Lodge #324, Beaver Creek - Sold for $2,967,500

As a true skier and armed with an intimate knowledge of life in the infamous Vail Valley, Heidi has become a respected specialist in the buying and selling of luxury ski resort properties. These special homes draw clients wishing to take daily advantage of the unique opportunities the Rocky Mountains provide. The ability to ski-in and out of your front door is one of the most highly desired property qualities in resort real estate, along with big mountain views, proximity to outdoor recreation, and access to restaurants, shops, and special events. In both Vail and Beaver Creek, Heidi has helped countless clients find their own dream ski properties. She is additionally certified as a “Vail PRO” designated local expert by the Vail Board of Realtors.

Heidi Bintz’s passion is sharing her love of Colorado with others. Whether you meet her on the chairlift for some ski tips or touring a Vail Valley property to call your own, Heidi will enthusiastically tell you that there is nothing better than “living the mountain lifestyle.”

The post A Spectacular Penthouse At Altus Vail By Stan Kniss appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Saturday morning a report surfaced that a local employee on Main St had tested positive for COVID-19 and word spread like wildfire. By Saturday afternoon, I received a notice that all Vail resorts, (Park City Mountain Resort) were closing for a week. This announcement was quickly followed by Deer Valley, Alta, Snowbird and Brighton announcing that they would also be suspending operations for at least a week. By Sunday evening, all resorts except for Brian Head in central Utah and Powder Mountain had announced that they were closing. On Sunday evening, Summit County came out to say that all of the county resorts, PC and DV, restaurants, churches, spas and most businesses would have to close until at least April 16, ending any hope that the ski season might continue. Restaurants would be allowed to deliver meals for curbside pick up only. The food markets would stay open as a necessity.

On Monday, Powder Mountain also closed, leaving Brian Head as the only Utah resort open. (Editor's note: Brian Head has since closed for the winter season). Driving around town Monday morning felt more like mid-April than mid-March. It was warm, very little snow in town and streets were empty. Then, Wednesday morning we experienced an earthquake! Fortunately for us here in Park City, we were far enough removed from the epicenter that it was only a jolt that did little if any damage, but it certainly shook already frayed nerves.

The good in all of this is to see how everyone in Park City has rallied to help each other. Immediately, a Facebook page came up for residents in need, to ask for help and for those willing to help. It is truly warming to see how many of our local residents have stepped up to help those who have lost their jobs or for health reasons are afraid to venture out. The offers to go shopping, pick up meals from restaurants or find sanitary products for those who cannot are an inspiration. It seems that in times of crisis people step up, and perhaps even more so in small close communities like Park City. While things will most certainly get worse, this will end, and hopefully, we will come out stronger.

In the meantime, life and business go on. Not surprisingly, Real Estate sales have slowed, but have not come to an end. I see new sales being reported every day across all price ranges and market types. The biggest change is that we are not holding open houses right now and agents are working from home rather than offices. Fortunately for us, we are accustomed to doing business remotely and through virtual methods, so I am still able to communicate effectively with my buyers and sellers and show properties to interested buyers. As is often the case, difficult times also bring opportunities and the savvy investor is ready to act! As many of us are now working from home and have time, I would love to hear from you and chat about what is happening in your area and perhaps just to chat about real estate in general.

Take care, be safe and please help out as much as you can… good times will return soon enough!

Ski-in/ski-out estates offer the convenience and benefits of a ski resort in the privacy of a luxury home. Spring may be here, but in these luxury homes (in Colorado, Utah, and Canada) winter doesn’t officially end until skis are hung up for the season. Here are six spectacular ski-friendly estates that may be on the market. We were certain until one sold today! So strike fast before they sell—or before the snow melts.

Magnificent Bald Eagle Club Mansion

Located at the peak of Deer Valley’s Silver Lake Village area in Park City, this 14,000-square-foot gated estate in the exclusive Bald Eagle Club offers panoramic vistas, privacy evergreens, vaulted ceilings, “extreme security” (we’re not sure if this means alarms, motion-sensors or armed guards) and its pièce de résistance—a ski-in/ski-out lounge.

This 14,000-square-foot gated estate in the exclusive Bald Eagle Club offers panoramic vistas, privacy evergreens and interior vaulted ceilings.

Built in 1992 on 7 Roamer Court and designed by Park City architect Rick Otto and renowned Guggenheim Museum renovator Charles Gwathmey, the gated mansion—priced at $15.5 million—boasts seven bedrooms, 10 full bathrooms, two kitchens, a ski room, multiple living rooms, an indoor pool, a spa, a sauna, a wet bar, a billiards room, a covered deck and patio, and caretaker’s quarters. The ski home is primed for entertaining whether you strap on skis or not.

Interior décor and art with extensive red-hued Native American themes is by Naomi Leff, who worked with fashion and Hollywood elite such as Giorgio Armani, Ralph Lauren, Steven Spielberg and Tom Cruise.

Renowned interior designer, the late Naomi Leff, utilized Native American themes to give this home its perfectly unique character.

Whistler’s Kadenwood High Point

Whistler, British Columbia’s 2951 High Point Drive estate—currently listed at $7.795 million—offers ski-in/ski-out access to a dedicated gondola service and other ski-lover amenities such as three fireplaces, a steam shower, geothermal in-floor/radiant heating, a heated outdoor pool, and an outdoor hot tub.

This four-bedroom, five-bathroom western red cedar home in the exclusive Kadenwood neighborhood lists for $7.795 million and features ski-in/ski-out access, gondola service, steam showers and three fireplaces.

The 5,000-square-foot property showcases a solid timber pivot front door, a floor-to-ceiling Haddington stone fireplace, wide-plank European white oak hardwood floors, soaring vaulted ceilings with Douglas Fir beams, and stunning valley views of Alta Lake and the Northern Range—as well as the conveniences of Creekside dining, nightlife, retail, and grocery stores.

Vail Colorado Rustic

With premium ski-in/ski-out access, this custom home stands prominently above any other residence in Vail's prestigious European Village. Kyle Webb-designed, George Shaeffer-built (in 2007) with a stately mix of rustic luxury and mountain modern design and finishes, this seven bedroom, eight full bathroom, two half-bathroom on 107 Rockledge Road is a whopping 11,509 square feet on .67 luxurious acres.

The three-story residence has vaulted ceilings, radiant heat, a hot tub spa, pool, steam room, sauna, patios, gas fireplaces, a loft, and hiking/pedestrian trails. This historic homesite was selected by some of Vail's first investors, who were the original Vail socialites. Boasting the distinction of Mountain Living Magazine’s 2010 “Home of the Year,” it's currently priced at a cool $30 million.

With premium ski access, this stately 11,509-square-foot estate mixes rustic luxury with mountain modern design.

Squaw Valley Olympic Dream

As the former host of the 1960s Winter Olympics, Olympic Valley, California’s Squaw is home to this $5.45 million estate, arguably the best of only seven slope side residences here.

Call Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate at 970-453-9090

Next to Sunnyside Mountain run at 249 Granite Chief Road, the 3,450-square-foot home is more convenient than huge, boasting four bedrooms, four bathrooms, a family room, loft and ski room, outdoor hot tub and a panoramic view of the mountains and valley.

Arguably the best slope side residence in Granite Chief Estates, the 3,450-square-foot home is conveniently near Lake Tahoe.

Park City's Villa Casa Nova

Villa Casa Nova is a Deer Valley Resort ski-in/ski-out estate that was voted the “Best Ski Chalet in the United States” by World Ski Awards in 2013 and 2014. The chalet was scheduled to go to the highest bidder without reserve this Saturday, March 28th via DeCaro Luxury Real Estate Auctions. But stop the presses—the owner apparently received an offer he or she couldn’t refuse. No word on the final sale price, but it was last listed at $9.75 million.

Villa Casa Nova was voted the “Best Ski Chalet in the United States” by World Ski Awards in 2013 and 2014

The sprawling 12,000-square-foot retreat has seven bedrooms and 10-and-a-half bathrooms that can accommodate up to 25 people. Villa Casa Nova is located within Deer Crest Estates, the exclusive gated community comprising more than 600 acres of land in Park City. All homeowners in Dear Crest Estates become part of the Deer Crest Master Association, which facilitates security, snow removal and maintenance of private roads, snow-making on trails, and grooming and patrolling of private ski trails.

The home’s main showcase is a skiers' lodge with ski lockers, boot dryers, lounge, and ski-in/ski-out access to runs. Mysteriously, it also has a secret one-bedroom, one-bathroom suite hidden behind a door disguised as a book shelf (a panic room to ward off sinister ski bandits?).

Other highlights include: three bars; heated patios; two outdoor hot tubs, and two outdoor fireplaces; a gourmet kitchen with wood-burning pizza oven and espresso bar; wine cellar; and a 15-person, THX-certified theater with 133-inch screen. The estate’s main-level master suite has a stone fireplace, walk-in closet, private balcony and an ensuite bathroom with his-her vanity sinks and a Jacuzzi tub. Additional amenities at Villa Casa Nova include multiple heated patios, a heated driveway that leads to an attached, three-car garage, and a caretaker’s apartment with a separate entrance.

Located within Deer Crest Estates, an exclusive gated community, Villa Casa Nova overlooks more than 600 acres of land in Park City.
