WINTER, ELEVATED



Winter is when The Glass House does its best work. Ski Northstar, Palisades Tahoe or Sugar Bowl by day, then come home to a steaming saltwater hot tub and a cedar barrel sauna on a snow-covered deck. Want a cold plunge between sauna rounds? In winter, the snow is right there. Inside, the gas fireplace is lit, the floor-to-ceiling windows are full of snowy pines, and the game room is ready with an 8-foot pool table, darts, Golden Tee, NBA Jam and Marvel Pinball.



New this winter: a boot and gear drying station and eight Gravity Grabber wall racks in the garage game room, so skis, boards, boots and gloves hang up right beside the pool table and the gym and are dry by morning. No wet gear piled in the entryway.



Out back, the fenced half-acre becomes your own winter playground: a natural sled hill with a couple of sleds at the house, and enough open yard for snowmen, snow forts and a proper snowball fight.



Storm days are the secret. When a big system is in the forecast, stock up on groceries on the way in (there's plenty of fridge, freezer and pantry space), then let it snow. Powder laps in the morning if the roads allow, hot tub at dusk, pool table and fireplace at night. Lean into it and slow down. We build the winter wonderland; you get to live in it.

WINTER: KNOW BEFORE YOU BOOK



• Vehicle: Bring a 4WD or AWD vehicle with snow-rated tires and carry chains. We do not recommend 2WD cars in winter, especially in a big snow year. Chain controls on I-80 and Highway 89 are routine during storms.



• Snow removal: The driveway is plowed once every 24 hours whenever 4 inches or more falls. Between plows, be prepared to shovel. Our team helps clear paths and decks as much as we can during your stay, and the house is stocked with shovels, snow brooms, ice scrapers and ice melt for digging out vehicles and clearing the berm the town plow leaves at the end of the driveway.



• Sledding: A couple of sleds are provided for the backyard hill. Sled at your own risk, and please keep an eye on the kids.



• Storm prep: If a big storm is forecast, buy groceries before you arrive. Roads can close or go to chain control, and the best storm plan is to be stocked, warm and enjoying the house.



• Summer-only amenities: The ice-barrel cold plunge and the deck farm table with umbrella are put away for winter. The hot tub, sauna and grill run all winter long.
