About the host
Hosted by Vicki M
I am a happily transplanted New Yorker since 2000 and consider CO to be my "true" home. My husband is a native and has spent many years living, working and playing in Chaffee county. He worked ski patrol for Monarch in the 80's and 90's and held many odd jobs including photographer for a rafting company, wildland firefighter and Salida hot springs pool manager. We met each other for the first time while skiing with mutual friends at Monarch. He introduced me to telemarking and backcountry touring. Fittingly, we tied the knot at the top of tumbelina lift a few years later. We both love Colorado and everything it has to offer. We currently reside full-time outside of Colorado Springs with our lovable dog and feisty cat. We spend our free time enjoying the great outdoors.
Why they chose this property
We purchased the property several years back after falling in love with the trees and mountain views. Before building, we enjoyed our property by camping under the stars and riding bikes every weekend. The build took 2 years and was truly a labor of love that allowed us to become good friends with the neighbors who helped us build our dream home getaway. The proximity to all things amazing is why we love this property. We are minutes way from riding epic mountain biking trails (monarch crest, cottonwood to name a few), skiing, backpacking and climbing 14ers.
