Wolf appliances (naturally), welded latticework on the cupboards, Villeroy & Boch china, and ultra-plush Mascioni linens show the same elegant attention to detail that is a hallmark of the original property. Another boon: Owners won't have to decide between the mountainside and parkside locations. All of Dancing Bear's residences are for sale in one-eighth interests—buyers get three winter and three summer weeks of residency (plus reciprocity to worldwide Timbers Club proper- ties), and can choose whichever units they want, based on availabil- ity. While many may opt for the luxe/mod digs in the new building, others will stick with the original property, which will always feel like "home" to many. With restaurants inside both, this previously forlorn little intersection will see some much-needed vitality as the neighborhood prepares for the FIS World Cup Championship races next spring. Aspen Skiing Co. is poised to build a new lift, as well, replacing the 45-year-old Lift 1A double-seater, which sits on the west side of Aspen Mountain today. In conjunction, a new 81-key hotel and residence, the Gorsuch Haus, has been proposed for the base of the mountain. With ever more construction to come, Dancing Bear is the first property to lead the revitalization of this part of town. And its rooftop deck, with 270-degree views, will continue to be the perfect spot to watch everything else unfold. . 132 aspenpeak-magazine.com SPACE spotlight
