Fire and Ice Ski Lodging — Chalet at Telluride

Stunning modern architecture combined with ravishing mountain scenery produces this one-of-a-kind Rocky Mountain retreat in gorgeous Mountain Village. Dispersed across nearly 4,300 opulent square feet, Fire and Ice has a 1,500 square foot multi-tier deck with a jaw-dropping view of the San Sophia Ridge. In the main living area, a soaring wall of windows frames the peaceful views of the forest and the mountain peaks beyond. Soft, cream-colored furnishings and walls allow the epic views to take center stage. Off to one side, a floor-to-ceiling fireplace anchors the room and provides cozy warmth on chilly evenings. High above, the vaulted ceiling is highlighted by exposed v-shaped beams with intricate metal details. Outside, the views from the deck of this home must be seen to be believed. In the warmer months, you’ll find it difficult to tear yourself away from the sparkling sunshine, refreshing mountain air, and show-stopping views of the peaks. There’s also a barbecue area and space for dining al fresco amongst the pine trees. In the gleaming open kitchen, lush dark cabinets with luxe gold hardware contrast perfectly with the clean, white countertops. A gas Wolf range, Sub Zero paneled refrigerator, coffee bar, and gorgeous herringbone tiles add a dollop of high-end luxury to the efficiently designed chef space. There’s also an island with relaxed bar seating and a spacious dining table nearby. On the lower level is a bonus living/sleeping area - complete with a sprawling king-sized pull-out sectional sleeper sofa and flat-screen television that are perfect curl-up spots for a movie night in with some popcorn. Glass doors lead out to the lower deck and a bubbly hot tub. There’s also a laundry room on the lower level and a ski room for stowing gear. With a perfect balance of rustic yet modern vibes, a secluded Mountain Village location that still keeps you close to the slopes, and an endless array of luxurious finishes and details, a stay at Fire and Ice is positively heavenly from start to finish.
