Getting your player ready...
With the mountains getting slammed with snow this weekend, how do you create family ski experiences today that parents and grandparents remember from when they were kids?…when traffic was lighter and crowds were smaller? Next weekend Rendezvous, the master-planned resort community at Winter Park, takes a big step forward in doing just that — making its property owners’ memories more about skiing, less about hassles of driving, parking, and tromping around in your boots.
You can be one of the first to see Club Rendezvous, an exclusive owner’s club at the Winter Park base, next to Starbucks and directly across from Zephyr Lift – the only owner’s club at Winter Park. “For our families, it’s going to be like, ‘Wow, this is the way it used to be,” says Silvio DeBartolomeis, Vice President of Sales at Rendezvous.
Residents can leave the car back at their new cabin or townhome, as the Rendezvous Shuttle whisks the family directly to Club Rendezvous. Their skis and poles are already there, where they can gear-up while sitting by the fire, enjoying a coffee or hot chocolate.
“They’ll be riding the lift within minutes,” adds Dennis Saffell of Coldwell Banker Mountain Properties, exclusive agents at Rendezvous. He and Stuart Huster will give you a $20 gas card next weekend, in exchange for touring Rendezvous’ new home offerings; and a chance to see Club Rendezvous. Those opportunities start at just $179,900 – the price of a quarter-ownership in a new ProngHorn Townhome – a walkout ranch with attached 2-car garage, with views across the valley.
…Or, for as little as $339,900, you could buy into a quarter of a BigHorn cabin model — four bedroom including two masters, 4,215 feet home in Rendezvous’ most exclusive neighborhood. “Quarter ownerships are catching on throughout the mountains,” adds Saffell. Huster and Saffell will explain how those work – including how you could put an ownership together with cousins or siblings; and of course, how you could buy a full ownership of one of those BigHorn Cabins, or of a ProngHorn Townhome at $419,900.
After the snow melts, Rendezvous families find the Fraser River waiting, along with their own private Mary’s Pond fishing lake, and extensive hiking biking trails into the National Forest. Take I-70 west past Idaho Springs to U.S. 40; then west 28 miles, through downtown Winter Park, another half mile to the Discovery Center on right, look for the Rendezvous moose.
