Ice Queen

Ice Queen: Colorado

From the gorgeous hickory floors to the vaulted, cathedral-like ceiling in the master bedroom, this home has got us all in a dither. Only moments from Telluride's Gondola Plaza, this modern townhouse has been given an Alpine twist – think a feature, black-steel fireplace, a snug cosy reading nook complete with faux fur blankets, and a large grey sofa for cuddling up after days on the slopes. Double-height windows characterise the three-storeys, flooding the space with light and allowing you to check on conditions for the day. There might be squabbles for the master suite, complete with a deep, jet bathtub and its own private balcony with incredible views of the slopes. Come summer, the downstairs balcony has a grill for cooking up a feast, with wrought-iron furniture to watch the world go by.

Home truths:
*There is a dedicated locker at the base of Chair 8 so you don't need to carry equipment back to the home
*The home has free off-street parking
*The bunk room has a full double bed at the bottom, with room to sleep three if needed
