Top Six Luxury US Ski Lodges & Resorts You Didn’t Know About

This year, with the desire for privacy and exclusivity higher than ever, many skiers are looking to take their winter break a little further afield than simply the slopes of Aspen.

At EliteLyfe, we love ski season. The mountain villas and lodges we represent are some of the largest, most impressive real estate in the United States.

Here’s a small collection of luxury lodges and boutique-sized hotels we’ve put together for you that perhaps you didn’t know about yet offer the standard of luxury and service we know you expect/demand/deserve.

You don’t have to be a skier to enjoy winter in the mountains. The accommodations have extensive amenities, including some world-class spas.

EliteLyfe’s customizable luxury travel itineraries include private chefs, 24-hour concierge services, personal instructors, in-house spa therapists, and butlers.

With that said, let’s check them out...

Scarp Ridge Lodge

Crested Butte - COLORADO

What we consider to be the ultimate North American ski adventure in 1,000+ acres of exclusive terrain. Take snowcats or helicopters to experience fresh slopes every day with fine cold-smoke powder.

This expansive estate has two private mountain cabins serving drinks and snacks for daily relaxation and refuge from the snow. The lodge has a complete private dining and wellness program including chefs, spa therapists, and personal trainers.

Set in an old mining town-turned-ski-resort, Scarp Ridge Lodge is a former saloon that has retained its historic charm.

The lodge is known for its amazing spa program and has an extensive range of indoor amenities that include a saltwater pool, a steam room & sauna, a gym, hot tubs, and a media room.

Scarp Ridge Lodge is ideal for a large family. It hosts five spacious king-sized bedroom suites and a seven-bed bunk room for the kids.

Crested Butte is 4.5 hours from Denver yet a 30-minute drive from GUC regional airport. Transfers, pre-stocked groceries, and a start-up bar are included. Contact EliteLyfe for more details.

Stein Eriksen Lodge

Deer Valley - UTAH

Deer Valley in Utah may not be a famous name the world over but it is home to what we consider to be some of the best snow in North America.

The Stein Eriksen Lodge collection is some of the most impressive property in the area and offer the quintessential ski-in/ski-out experience with immediate access to family-friendly runs.

The Stein Eriksen Lodge collection is actually six luxury ski-in/ski-out villas that are positioned throughout the mountain. The lodges vary from five to eight bedrooms and include an exceptional 14,000-square-foot estate.

This impressive collection of lodges feature luxury details throughout, with amenities including saunas, wine cellars, game rooms, and movie theaters.

More advanced skiers will find guided ski tours that connect throughout the wider area to include over five resorts.

The Montage has a beautiful collection of suites, however, travelers who desire a higher level of seclusion will find some impressive four-bedroom private residences.

Service standards at The Montage are very high. It has the largest spa in Utah with over a million dollars spent on art alone and what is considered to be the finest sushi restaurant in the area.

Caldera House

Jackson Hole / Teton Village - WYOMING

This highly exclusive boutique hotel is ideal for a single group booking, hosting just eight two- and four-bedroom suites, yet a wealth of great resort amenities.

Caldera House has an enviable location just outside of Teton Village, with a short walk to the awesome snow and varied slopes at Jackson Hole.

Caldera House is what we consider to be the most tasteful and elegant ski lodge in Teton Village, with contemporary design elements throughout, and rustic-chic done to perfection.

The combination of four-bedroom suites and two-bedroom suites is ideal for smaller groups or the total 24 bedrooms can be booked out for a single private party.

Amangani Hotel & Resort

Jackson Hole / Teton Village - WYOMING

Those looking for a winter getaway that isn’t all about skiing will love the dramatic location of the Amangani Hotel in Wyoming. It sits on a peaceful, isolated butte and acts as a gateway to both Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.

Those who do want to ski have a 20-minute drive to the snow at Jackson Hole and Teton Village.

The Amangani Hotel has stylish suites and a separate collection of private residences with oversized terraces and mind-blowing mountain views. The facilities include an indoor pool and a luxury spa.

The Amangani has a great location for year-round wildlife experiences. Get in contact with us at EliteLyfe for further details.

Madeline Hotel

Telluride - COLORADO

Ok, so if you’re an American skier, you’ll know about Telluride, but the recently refurbished Madeline Hotel offers what we think is the peak luxury experience at the resort.

The Madeline has a variety of luxury ski-in/ski-out residences across the mountain.

The amenities, like the accommodations, are stylish, modern, and at the peak of contemporary design.

Those who don’t ski can enjoy a range of activities arranged by their concierge. These include snow shoeing, ice climbing, dog sledding, and helicopter tours over a 13,000-foot ridge.
