Tell the driver to speed up, there are only seven left. It’s something to think about on your ride up to the Vail Valley. The supply of prime ski-in, ski-out property is rapidly dwindling. At the same time, demand is at a record high. Which explains in part why Cresta is in such hot demand. In fact, 90% of the residences in the first two phases are already sold. And only five residences in phase three are available for pre-sale. The other part is that these private ski-in, ski-out residences are truly remarkable. Cresta offers a unique combination of fine interior appointmens, exceptional architecture, and an incomparable location. Situated some 700 feet above Arrowhead Village, it is a secluded retreat that also offers easy access to shopping and restaurants. And since Cresta is part of the gated Arrowhead Village, you can be sure that you property is safe and secure all year round.

The key to a great living space begins with an honest lifestyle assessment. What is your passion? Are you a rugged outdoor enthusiast, an avid reader, an art collector or a gardener? Maybe you are a combination of interests. Your home should be a reflection of who you are, easy to enjoy, not overpowering. Slifer Designs was founded in 1984 on the belief that a home is for living, not just to be admired. It should be a setting for family and friends to relax and enjoy each other, a timeless place to accumulate memories for years to come. Award winning mountain resort design has always been a specialty of Slifer Designs. In recent years the Slifer Designs philosophy has spread across the country and the mountain design look has been translated into a number of diverse design styles that suit a variety of geographical locations and resort lifestyles. Why? Because comfort, quality, timeless good taste and personality always have a place in a home whether it’s on an ocean shore, a lake, in an urban setting or the mountains.

The other resorts you fight crowds. Here, you fight temptation. The best thing about being far from the interstate resorts is that when you ski or ride Aspen/Snowmass, there’s never traffic on the slopes. Because even when the town is hopping, our four famous mountains still feel wide open. So in addition to the lure of spending all day doing top-to-bottoms with virtually no lift lines, you may also have to fight the urge to spend the rest of your time indulging in the awesome après, dangerously good shopping and one-of-a-kind dining that you can only find right here.

They call it The Raven, because after one round, you’ll play other courses nevermore. Officially, this mesmerizing blend of towering pines, manicured fairways and predatory Mackenzie bunkers is the handiwork of Tom Lehman and Hurdzan/Fry Design. But the way its haunting beauty and unsurpassed service lures you in, you’ll swear it was Edgar Allen Pol. When Golf Magazine name its top courses, there was only one in Colorado. Quote, The Raven.
