There are ski-in/ski-out residences—and then there are ski-in/ski-out sanctuaries. Perched just steps from the Assay Hill lift at the Cirque Viceroy in Snowmass, Grand Penthouse West fits firmly in the latter category.
Spanning four bedrooms and four baths in over 2,300 square feet, the residence was conceived as a vacation retreat that feels like a five-star hotel. The interior spaces offer a rare counterpoint to the rugged alpine surroundings, introducing a layer of metropolitan polish through new luxe furnishings, custom rugs, sculptural lighting, and richly textured wall coverings. The result is a mountain aesthetic that feels both contemporary and enduring.
As listing agent and longtime leading Aspen-area luxury specialist Carrie Wells describes it, "A thoughtful floor plan connects in the central great room, with vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows that draw in all-day sun." The open floor plan flows naturally from the lounge to the dining room to the kitchen, encouraging après-ski gatherings that stretch long into the evening. A banquette dining area seats eight comfortably, while an oversized island invites guests to linger with a glass from the dedicated wine fridge. Wolf and Bosch appliances—including double ovens and dual dishwashers—ensure the kitchen performs as beautifully as it presents. When the snow falls, the heated terrace becomes a front-row seat to the alpine theater. In warmer months, it transforms into an elevated outdoor dining room, extending the living space into crisp mountain air.
Each guest suite frames its own cinematic perspective—ski trails etched across the mountainside, the village below glowing at dusk, peaks shifting with the light.
The location at Cirque Viceroy, however, may be its biggest draw. Conveniently situated steps away from the Assay Hill ski lift for a true ski in/ski out experience in the winter, the building also offers easy access to stunning hikes and mountain biking in the summer months. It's also within walking distance or a quick shuttle ride to all the shops and restaurants around Snowmass Village. On top of it, the Cirque Viceroy offers an enviable catalog of amenities: acclaimed on-site dining, in-room service, a full-service spa and wellness center, fitness facilities, pool, valet parking, village transportation, ski rentals, and concierge services. It’s the ease of a five-star resort layered atop the comforts of a private home. For owners seeking both personal enjoyment and income potential in one of the Rockies’ most sought-after markets, the Viceroy’s established rental program adds a compelling dimension.
Long regarded as Aspen’s quieter counterpart, Snowmass Village has evolved into a destination in its own right, adds Wells. "Snowmass has become more than the sister resort to Aspen," she notes. "It's now a destination for visitors from around the globe. The allure of Snowmass Village continues to grow, making Grand Penthouse West an excellent investment in the Aspen/Snowmass market."
