Great place for a ski trip

We had a great time at this house. It is a very nice and comfortable home, lots of room, and very well equipped and supplied. Property managers were great to work with. Note that there are a lot of stairs (its four levels including the garage). And the walk to get to the ski area is a bit of a hike uphill (but you can ski right to the door on the way back in). Overall, we loved it.
