Good Faith Disclaimer

*In some instances, current snow depths, weather conditions, time of year, or an individual’s fitness level may be incongruent with a home’s ski access labeling. For instance, in early December, when snow depths are historically low in many ski destinations, a home that is labeled ski-in/ski-out may not have adequate snow coverage to meet the criteria. However, the same home may have adequate snow coverage a short time later after significant snowfall. Each home’s ski access classification is made in good faith based on information from our local teams, historical snow data, and past guest experience and feedback. If you are unsure about a specific home’s ski access, reach out to our Guest Experience team via our chat function, or call 888-720-2057, for help determining the home’s suitability for your group. 

 

**Parents with children who may not be able to carry their own gear to and from a shuttle stop or to and from the gondola should reach out to our Guest Experience team regarding the suitability of specific homes.
