The Story Behind
Vail's Only New Ski-In Nordic Haus on Forest Road
This Nordic Ski Haus emerges from an exceptional collaboration between Vail's most distinguished creative talents, each contributing over two decades of specialized mountain luxury expertise. Kyle Webb and KH Webb Architects have crafted an architectural vision that celebrates both Vail's iconic alpine heritage and the evolving expectations of today's discerning mountain homeowners. The design philosophy centers on creating seamless connections between indoor comfort and outdoor adventure, manifested through innovative ski-in access that allows residents to glide directly from the pristine slopes into their heated ski room.
RA Nelson's construction mastery is evident throughout, from the heated driveway that eliminates winter maintenance concerns to the sophisticated oxygenation system ensuring restorative sleep at altitude. The home's structural elements showcase premium materials including indigenous stone fireplace surrounds, reclaimed wood ceilings with exposed dark beams, and floor-to-ceiling windows strategically positioned to frame Red Sandstone Mountain's dramatic silhouette.
Yvonne Jacobs of Jacobs + Interiors has curated spaces that embody refined mountain living through carefully balanced finishes and organic textures. The great room anchors the home with soaring ceilings and natural light that illuminates elegant Arrigoni wood flooring throughout. The kitchen commands attention with dark walnut cabinetry and honed marble surfaces, while an oversized island serves as both culinary workspace and gathering point with constant mountain vistas providing inspiration.
The primary suite retreat features spa-inspired amenities including dual rainfall showers and a freestanding soaking tub positioned for mountain contemplation. Contemporary comfort extends to practical luxuries such as electric vehicle charging preparation, an elevator serving all levels, and heated patios and stairs that eliminate weather-related access concerns. Additional thoughtful elements include a dedicated bunkroom for family gatherings, an expansive family room, and meticulously appointed storage solutions that accommodate mountain lifestyle equipment while maintaining the home's sophisticated aesthetic.
