VUE

W hile being steps from virgin powder would be more than enough to make any ski bum sign the dotted line, Dancing Bear goes above and beyond to transform the typical ski-in ski-out experience with an abundance of amenities. From a 24-hour modernistic spa inspired by the four elements, a saline flotation tank, self-serving hydrotherapy massage stations, or steam chambers complete with stone chaises, a specialized kids room, private theater, or the owner's wine room and cellar, it's enough to entice even the most enthusiastic skiers and snowboarders to hang it in early for a quick relaxation session before a night out on the infamous town. Upon touchdown, a car and driver will be waiting at the airport. When reaching the residence, most then make a beeline straight to the Monarch Steakhouse and bar, located at the base of the building, where the bartender is already at work preparing your drink of choice and the prime rib filet is already on the grill. The next morning, make a quick stop at the private ski lockers to gear up and head for the lifts. If a peak other than Aspen Mountain should strike one's fancy, a driver will be waiting at their leisure with all the gear already loaded (who could say no to heated ski boots?). More so, when not on the slopes, you're bound to find families relaxing on their own time, with parents enjoying everything the spa has to offer while the kids amuse themselves in the game rooms filled with all the latest technology for hours to come.
