Not really a true ski-in/ski-out, but spacious and wonderful
Kathryn's place is spacious, clean, very comfortable and beautiful. Kathryn was quick to answer questions (even though she was in New Zealand at the time). Garage is spacious. Beds were comfortable. Neighborhood is very nice and quite. Things I wish I had asked/known about ahead of time are: 1) that it isn't a true ski in/ski out place (I'm over 60 and do 4-6 western trips per year and have stayed at lots of true ski in ski out places). To get to the slope you have to climb 108 stairs at the end of the cull de sac and then walk uphill for about 100 yards on trail. Getting back is much easier, can ski down to the stairs and then walk down. The climb up is doable if in shape, but at my age I prefer to save my quads for the slopes. 2) There are lots of TVs but no cable or streaming service. Instead there is an awesome collection of dvds. I'm a sports fan, so not being able to watch the games on TV w family was suboptimal. I wrestled with giving 4 or 5 stars because the place and Kathryn are awesome (wish I could give 4.5). If I was in my 30 or 40s and didn't care about TV, it would definitely be 5 stars...and Kathryn is 5 stars, but my need to get a ride to the base led to a 4 stars. Again, place is very spacious and comfortable. If you are in good shape and don't care about TV the place is highly recommended.
