Summary: With some of the most luxurious mountain lifestyle communities providing convenient slope-side lodges and “Easy-Button” transportation to and fro, second-home owners are enjoying the best of both worlds.
PARK CITY, Utah— Don’t get them wrong. Mark and Marcy Casp say they appreciated the ski-in ski-out convenience of their time share at the Park City Resort.
But when the Orlando, Florida couple, who enjoy golf and tennis, decided to add summer weeks to their vacation schedule the slope-side locale no longer made sense.
“It’s nice in winter, but why should we live high on the side of a mountain at other times of the year and have to travel a half hour to enjoy an activity?” How, they wondered, how could they have it all?
They found an answer at Promontory, a luxury vacation home club and community 20 minutes from slopes, a few thousand feet lower in elevation, where it’s easier to breathe and sleep, and on the “sunny side of the valley” with panoramic views of all three ski resorts.
“That’s when it started clicking for us,” says Mark. “It made so much sense. At Promontory, we’re two minutes from both of the golf courses, the tennis courts, the clubhouses and the health club.
“What sealed the deal for us” was the club’s Alpine Lodge, with its lockers and plush living-room-like setting—it also serves food and drink—steps from the Silver Lake lift at Deer Valley, one of the country’s top-rated resorts. A concierge is on hand to serve members’ needs. And the club’s private shuttle, a restored antique “Jammer” bus that once toured visitors through Yellowstone Park, chauffeurs them to and fro. “It’s not quite ski-in, ski-out, but it’s charming and convenient. We can’t imagine a more satisfying compromise,” says Mark.
“Marcy even started calling the arrangement her ‘Easy Button.” For the couple—he’s 61 and she’s 60—it made so much sense that Mark recently sold his business so they could retire to Park City full time.
At Promontory, the ski lodge concept was no afterthought, says managing director Rich Sonntag. “It was integral to our plans,” he says.
In fact, the lodge, designed to match the club’s contemporary mountain ranch theme, was the first Promontory Club amenity constructed in 2001, before the Pete Dye-designed golf course was opened and before any homes were built on the 11-square-mile property. (A Jack Nicklaus course was added a few years ago.)
“Our concept called for a real four-season lifestyle experience for Promontory’s second homeowners, and it was important to demonstrate how it would work,” says Sonntag.
While marketing focus groups clarified the need for the facility—parents, for instance, expressed a desire for a comfortable place to spend time while the kids were taking extra runs—Sonntag didn’t have to go that far to know Promontory was on the right track.
“My wife Janice would tell me she imagined a cozy living room where she could have a personal locker and a clean restroom, a place where she could leave her glasses and her New York Times and know they wouldn’t walk away.”
