Ski Areas Add More Luxury, a Positive Development for Luxury Vacation Rentals
Dec. 31, 2006. Ski Resorts are spending billions to add new amenities and luxuries amid the current boom. “Throughout the West, ski resorts are investing billions of dollars in upgrades as facilities age and visitors come looking for luxuries never imagined when skiers on wooden boards defined a ski vacation as a rope tow and a bed with a bathroom down the hall�, according to an article by David Frey in NewWest.Net. He reports that “The industry is booming. So are resort towns. And visitors to both come with high expectations.�
The article points out the significant renovations and building being done throughout the Western ski areas at places like Sun Valley, Idaho, Colorado, and Utah. “Resorts across the West are scrambling to cater to luxury-seekers, refurbishing aging buildings and building whole new communities.�
