Designed by architect Frank D. Welch, this Aspen contemporary asking $17,500,000 looks more South Beach than it does Pitkin County, but it still satisfies the ski lifestyle with big fireplaces and big views. A huge pool and an abundance of white round out this unique listing.

Vermont's priciest home in Stowe (asking $12,500,000) takes the shape of a red-painted silo situated between two wings. Packed full with tons of tacky amenities ("car wash building," shooting range, giant chess set, and weird mailbox), this behemoth may have a bit of architectural schizophrenia, but there's no doubt it's unique.

This ski-in/ski-out home in Snowmass asking $9.5 million has a curved wall of windows showcasing views of the surrounding forest and ski slope. And while the interior of the 6 bedroom, 6 bath home may look like most any modern ski chalet, the multi-level rooftop patios really set this listing apart.

Located a short 8 minute drive from Stratton Mountain Resort, at $4,900,000 the aptly named Mountain House is a contemporary ski chalet with nary an antler in sight. Built in 2002, the 8,720 square-foot curved home embraces the steep landscape with a multi-level structure that uses lots of timber, feels like a tree house, and boasts 18-foot floor to ceiling windows.

This custom home asking $4,625,000 in Big Sky was built to replicate an old Montana gold mine. The builder purchased the Gold Coin Mine from Anaconda Montana and salvaged the materials to create the 4 bedroom, 4.5 bath home.

It's all about the details in this $3,590,000 Steamboat Springs home with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. Sure, there's plenty of timber in the wooden walls and vaulted wood ceilings, but plenty of light and an innovative loft design make this ski chalet stand out from the crowd.

A ski castle just doesn't come along that often, so we're pretty enchanted with this 5-bedroom, 4.5 bath storybook home near Utah's Sundance Ski Resort. Designed by the late architect Albert Leon Christensen it's asking a healthy $3,195,000, for turrets, regal chandeliers, arched Colorado moss rock walls, and custom wood work.

Asking only $1,500,000 in Whitefish, Montana, this impeccably designed 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath contemporary looks right at home in its natural surroundings. Tons of light, a turquoise kitchen, and a warm color palette make for a cozy ski getaway.
