This ski house is on the steep northern slope
of the mountain above Vail in a beautiful
stand of aspen trees and low evergreen
bushes. It was designed for a young family
with two children and a friend and also to
accommodate a large number of guests.
The building is a four-story tower at home
among the tall, straight trees. The first
story contains storage,laundry, and sauna
facilities. The second contains bedrooms and
small bunkrooms to accommodate guests.
The third contains the kitchen and dining
spaces with a separate room to be used as
playroom-TV room for the children and as a
guest room. The fourth floor is in the tree
tops with big dormer windows containing
window seats that can also be used as beds
for additional guests. The flooring is wide
pine planks; there is cedar siding inside
and out and it is furnished mostly with
a collection of Gustav Stickley Mission oak
furniture.
