A Message from the Resort Manager Dear Hyatt Mountain Lodge Owners, We are currently enjoying another beautiful summer season in Beaver Creek. While Beaver Creek is mostly known for being a world-class ski resort, the summer remains a very popular time for owners and guests to take advantage of all the spectacular scenery and exciting activities the Rocky Mountains have to offer. Whether it is hiking, biking, fishing, rafting, horseback riding, golfing, swimming, or enjoying the views from a scenic lift ride, you are sure to have an amazing time doing what you love in the summer. As we know all too well, winter will be here before you know it. During the winter months of November through April, we have weekly owner’s meetings at which valuable information is shared with the owners. Please join me at these weekly meetings, which are held on Wednesdays at 4:00 p.m. in the Lobby. At these meetings, you will learn about various topics from the budget to reserve projects and the latest news from Hyatt Vacation Ownership. Also there will be a point discussion on how to use your fixed
week and float points. I look forward to seeing you at these meetings.

Board Update Dear Hyatt Mountain Lodge Owners:
Hyatt Mountain Lodge, a Hyatt Residence Club Resort, experienced high occupancy by owners this past ski season. The spring off-season, between mid-April and mid-June, saw healthy occupancy from Interval International tradeins and Hyatt Residence Club users. We expect a very busy summer in 2016, as many summer weeks are already booked. This spring, the ski valet shop will receive new carpet and paint to make it ready for the 2016/17 ski season. The Villa Montane Master Association is moving forward on the water leakage issues caused by the failure of the membrane between the landscaped areas around the swimming pool and above the parking garage. Hyatt Mountain Lodge is investigating installing a roof gutter drainage system to direct snow melt away from the north wall of the parking garage. Board Vice President Ginny Erickson has been working closely with a local website consultant to redesign the hmountainlodge.com website. The new website will allow individual owners to create their own password, which will increase the security of the site. Before the new website goes live, the current password is unchanged from last year, and is case sensitive. The User Name is in lowercase and is mlmember (owners sometimes miss that the second letter is a lowercase “L”). The Password is 2Hmlmem. Please do not give this password to any non-owner. The site is monitored by Board Vice President Ginny Erickson, working with our outside website consultant to address problems as they occur.
The site has areas to list units for sale, rent, or trade. The new website will automatically delete postings as they become outdated. I encourage you to contact me or any other Board member if you have any questions or concerns at any time.
