Think Outside Your Basic Door

Anyone who has tried to wrestle their ski or snowboard gear out a standard door knows the struggle. The solution for this snowy retreat is a glass garage door, which makes getting in and out of the home a cinch, and leads to the locker room. Prepped for the going and coming, benches provide a spot for putting on and taking off boots, and layers of animals hides, durable carpet tiles and an exposed stone surround create an inviting space that's ready to handle the cold and snow.

Stay in the Treetops

Merely five feet away from the slopes in Whitefish, Mont., this treehouse chalet is inspired by homes in the Swiss Alps. A sloping roofline, classic turret and mix of natural wood planks and cedar shingles blend seamlessly into the mountainous surroundings.

Made for All Seasons

This year-round escape to the mountains is a great gathering place during the warmer months, but really hits its stride with its ski-in/ski-out access once the snow falls. Picturesque windows are surrounded by a rich combo of slatted wood and stacked stone for the home's exterior, and a wood shingle roof stands up to the changing weather, keeps the home warm and reflects the surrounding mountains.

From Slopes to Fire Pit in Seconds

Snow lovers flock to Colorado because of its abundance of slopes, variety of runs, and of course, its rustically chic abodes. This sleek home puts a modern twist on the rugged with sharp, eye-catching angles and ample use of glass. Most slope-side retreats also have cozy outdoor areas that can be used year-round, such as a gathering spot around a built-in fire bowl.

Be Home Right Away

There's no greater luxury for a skier or snowboarder than to finish their day on their doorstep without ever having to step boot on to a bus or in a car. This Colorado estate offers just that, along with a bevy of other amenities.

Not-Your-Everyday Log Cabin

On a mountaintop in Avon, Colo., this over 10,000-square-foot home weaves together the classics: timber and chinking with weathered stone. Flagstone walkways lead past towering aspen tress to the ski-in/ski-out access.

Bring in a Sense of History

Built into the steep side of a mountain, this incredible home has a built-over-time aesthetic that was established by standing-dead timbers, reclaimed barn boards and Montana moss rock. Additionally, salvaged steel joists, tracks and screens from the local mining history were incorporated into the design.
