Thinking Outside the [Condo] Box Luxury Single Family Homes Realize up to $300k Annual Income Owning a piece of the Steamboat lifestyle quickly becomes a dream for many who descend into the beautiful Yampa Valley. The default turnkey solution for most out of town buyers has traditionally been a mountainside condo. With close proximity to the slopes, minimum maintenance, and no hassle amenities, condos check many of the boxes for second homeowners looking for their slice of paradise. The commoditized nature of Steamboat condos provides a secure investment option with finite bookends. For some second home owners though, the aspirational dream of owning a single-family home is a lingering curiosity. The appeal of additional privacy, freedom, and ownership of an asset rooted in scarcity is often hindered by a barrage of questions. Can I afford it? What about property maintenance? Who will take care of my home when I am gone? These are all common questions and concerns that get in the way of many considering a transition from a condo to a single family home. It is true, the next tier of luxury property ownership comes with a price. With increasing demand and replacement build costs, single
family home valuations are increasing. While a rising tide lifts all boats, all boats are not equal! Median single family home values rose 14% in 2016 (scarcity), as compared to condos at 4% (commodity). Maintenance and care are also legitimate concerns. But what if you could make the jump to a luxury single family home, offset the increase in costs, forget about maintenance concerns, drop HOA dues, and simultaneously gain a significant annual income?
But what if you could make the jump to a luxury single family home, offset the increase in costs Enter luxury rental and management companies like Moving Mountains (www. movingmountains.com). Steamboat’s Moving Mountains is approaching management of 80 luxury properties which produce annual gross rental incomes ranging from $75,000 to $300,000. Originating 20 years ago from the world of luxury charter yachts based in the
British Virgin Islands, Robin and Heather Craigen have created a business model built on curated service and attention to detail. With robust services and focused marketing, Moving Mountains achieves exceptional ADR rates (Average Daily Rate) of $1,500$2,000, providing home owners with a viable revenue stream to offset costs and manage positive yields. “One of the primary concerns from potential clients is that their home will be respected and well looked after. The premium homes and services we offer, coupled with our diligent staff, mean that your home will be taken care of as if it were our own,” says Robin Craigen. Additional perks for homeowners subscribing to Moving Mountains services range from full home maintenance, access to on-call shuttles that can whisk you from your door to the ski lift, and concierge and chef services—all culminating to deliver the ultimate luxury experience.

Interview with a Steamboat Entrepreneur ƌŝĐ ĂŬĞƌ _ harvest skis Tell us a bit about your business... Harvest Skis is a boutique ski brand based in Steamboat Springs, CO. We offer lightweight durable skis for deep powder floating, all mountain charging and park and play fun!! Our skis are produced in Colorado from the finest materials and backed by an industry leading 3-year Iron Clad Guarantee warranty program.
Tell us about the moment the light bulb went off – when you knew you had a product or an idea that could support a commercially viable business? That moment was, for me, when I could not keep up with the ski orders and interest in the product that was coming out of the shop. In the beginning, Harvest was a one man show and I realized quickly that something was going to have to change. I couldn't get on a chairlift without someone asking me about my skis and where they could find them for demo or purchase. Fast forward 3 years and I have a great business partner in Harvest who has helped me scale the business and take it "out of the garage" and into the mainstream.
What single product has you most excited? Tell us about it…. There has been a lot of measurable growth in off piste skiing and backcountry touring, and we're really excited about a lightweight hybrid touring ski we are producing that has a wax less fish-scale base. It allows for fast kick and glide touring with the weight and transition time of using climbing skins. It's the perfect Steamboat touring ski. We are also working on a supersecret snowboard design for the backcountry that we feel will be like nothing currently available in the market...stay tuned for that one!
What makes your brand unique? Our commitment to US manufacturing, unique ski shapes and unheard of 3 year manufacturer’s warranty are some of the qualities that make our brand unique. We are living in a special time, where small grassroots ski and snowboard brands are making an impact in the marketplace - offering consumers a fresh choice and an opportunity to really connect with the people who own and operate these companies. We like to think it's a community driven movement akin to the microbrewery and farm to table concept.
KDUYHVW VNLV FRQWLQXHG What are some of the challenges of owning a growing business in Steamboat, and how do you overcome those challenges? We like to believe that living in Steamboat and owning a boutique ski brand is an advantage rather than a challenge. Steamboat is a wonderful progressive community that offers instant access to mountain culture, ǁŚŝĐŚ allows us to prototype and test new designs quickly with any number of local athletes and consumers.
Why do you choose to call Steamboat home for yourself and your business? We choose to call Steamboat home because of the real sense of community felt here. There are people from all walks of life with experience in all types of careers who are very supportive of local business. There are unlimited outdoor amenities and recreation opportunities available year-round in Steamboat and typically right out your backdoor! >ĞƚΖƐ ĨĂĐĞ ŝƚ Ͳ ǁŚŽ ĚŽĞƐŶΖƚ ǁĂŶƚ ƚŽ ůŝǀĞ ŝŶ Ă ƐŬŝ ƚŽǁŶ͕ ĨƵůů ŽĨ ůŝŬĞŵŝŶĚĞĚ ŽƵƚĚŽŽƌ ĨƌĞĂŬƐ ǁŚĞƌĞ ƚŚĞ ƉŽǁĚĞƌ ĐůĂƵƐĞ ĂůǁĂLJƐ ŝƐ ŝŶ ĨƵůů ĞĨĨĞĐƚ͍͊
1-3 Daily habits that set you up for success My wife has really given me the love and support needed to make our dreams a reality, and I have her to thank for these 3 bits of advice - stop and breathe, write everything down and make sure to find balance between family, work and play.
Closing remarks? We are fortunate to be able to live and work in such an amazing place like the Yampa Valley, and we are ultimately grateful for the love and support we receive from our friends, family and community. Thank you so much, pray for snow!!

How Customized Vacation Rentals Can Maximize Fitness Travel Wellness tourism is booming, and according to the Global Wellness Institute, it's growing at a rate double that of the general tourism industry. The reality is, people are prioritizing their health while traveling, and they're looking for travel experiences that help maximize their well-being. In some respects, this is nothing new. A Colorado (or New Mexico, or Utah) ski trip has always prioritized activity as a cornerstone of the experience. Clearly, skiing and snowboarding are excellent opportunities to get outside and burn serious calories. But what's changed in the last 10 or 20 years is the desire for travel experiences that are custom-tailored to the traveler, providing everything from healthy meals to activity planning to spa services. Often, these experiences are provided as retreats, tours, or allinclusive spas. While incredibly enjoyable, the downside is that they still limit the traveler to the foods and programs provided directly by the resort or guide. To answer the call for truly customized fitness vacations, some vacation rental companies are providing a full-service experience. Moving Mountains is one such example positioned in the luxury ski vacation market. This catered ski chalet and vacation rental company is located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and it's breaking the mold of the wellness tourism industry. Think of Moving Mountains as a highend Airbnb meets a personal assistant, personal chef, personal trainer, and personal mind-reader. While it's not the only custom fitness vacation company out there, it offers an excellent case study in what you can expect from a personalized fitness vacationâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I've detailed my own experience with the company below. That said, always do your own research before placing your vacation into someone else's handsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;handing
over the reins for vacation planning and execution can be a relief, but not all companies are created equal.
High-End Lodging
Moving Mountains isn't a resort or a hotel, it's a vacation rental service. Rather than booking a single room, you're booking a high-end house or condo. This is a great option if you're traveling with a group of friends or a large family, especially since each property includes a full kitchen, multiple bedrooms and bathrooms, and often additional amenities, such as hot tubs, outdoor grills, and game rooms. In fact, some of the Platinum Collection homes Moving Mountains added to their portfolio of rentals in 2017 offer over-the-top amenities, such as indoor climbing walls and multishower bathrooms. One obvious health benefit to staying at a vacation rental is its full kitchen. Rather than feeling limited to restaurant meals, you have the flexibility to purchase groceries and prepare your own food at home. This is particularly nice if you have dietary restrictions that make eating out more challenging. Of course, these properties come at a cost, so they're probably not appropriate for anyone traveling on a limited budget, unless, of course, you're able to split the expense with a group of friends.
Activities Concierge The Guest Services department at Moving Mountains is what takes the company from a standard vacation rental company into the realm of fullservice wellness tourism. For instance, their connections with other organizations in the area help them secure the best possible deals on lift tickets, gear rentals, and lessons at Steamboat Resort, which they can wrap into the price of your stay. They're also able to connect you with guides for activities like ice climbing and snowshoeing, and they're happy to help you decide where to hike or bike in the area. The company's CEO, Robin Craigen, is an avid snowboarder and cyclist, and he says, "Howelsen Hill and Emerald Mountain in the heart of downtown Steamboat offer all the hiking, mountain biking, snowshoeing, and intro backcountry skiing you could ever ask for." Basically, if you need any advice or ideas for how to get active during your trip, Moving Mountains has the hookup.
And this goes beyond fitness-focused activities. If you need a restaurant reservation, they'll make it for you. If you want to book a post-ski massage at The Spa at One Steamboat Place, they'll set you up. And if you want someone to deliver groceries to your vacation rental, they'll take care of the shopping for you.
Grocery Delivery Grocery delivery is quite possibly one of the best wellness-related benefits that Moving Mountains offers. It's hard to keep your nutrition in check when you're traveling, and no one wants to spend part of their vacation shopping at the grocery store. The fact that you can call ahead, put in your grocery order, and have your groceries delivered to your vacation rental before you even arrive is pretty phenomenal. This means you can plan your meals in advance and stick to your regular eating patterns without missing a beat.
Catered Meals In addition to grocery delivery, Moving Mountains offers two other in-house meal service options. First is the V.I.P. Catered Chalet Experience, which includes a personal chef who customizes breakfasts, snacks, and dinners based on any and all dietary restrictions. This full-service option also includes daily housekeeping and limo service. So, as you might expect, it doesn't come cheap. But if you have the money to spend and you like the idea of being waited on hand and foot, it's worth the splurge, giving you the flexibility to spend your time on other things, like going stand up paddle boarding, or spending an extra hour lounging in the hot tub. But if paying for an in-house chef for your full stay is out of the question, there's also the option to employ a personal chef for a night or two. As with the catered service, the chef comes in to cook, serve, and clean up a healthy, customized meal for you and your party. It's an awesome way to kick back the night before your vacation is over and really enjoy your final evening away. Again, this is an especially nice option for individuals following a strict or restricted eating plan because you don't have to worry about the complicated ordering process at a
at a restaurant. Rather, you can communicate your needs to the chef in advance, and come up with a satisfactory menu that's tailored to you and your family.
Comparing the Moving Mountains Experience to Other Wellness Vacations
Having enjoyed wellness travel to several spas and retreats, I have to say that the Moving Mountains experience allows for the most flexibility in terms of planning and activities. This is especially nice when traveling with a larger group. For instance, some resorts and tours don't allow children under a certain age to attend, particularly at higherend, adult-focused spas. This is a problem if you want to plan a family trip. Likewise, most fitness vacations provide basic hotel rooms as lodging,
rather than vacation houses or condos. These rooms may be nice, but with few exceptions, they don't allow you to cook or prepare your own food, forcing you to plan your schedule around the retreat's dining hours or off-site meals. Again, not a terrible thing, but it can be limiting. Similarly, most spas and retreats have pre-planned classes and hikes scheduled into the day. You can choose whether to attend, but if you don't attend, you can't necessarily go "off book" and schedule something away from the retreat...at least not with the help of the retreat company itself. With Moving Mountains, the Guest Services department is happy to schedule any activity or event you want to try, but they're not personally invested in providing activities for you. This means you're not limited by what they offer or when they offer it. Depending on your goals or preferences, this could be considered a positive or negative thing. In the case of my trip, I was able to go night skiing the first night I arrived before preparing my own in-house meal after coming in off the slopes. The next day my group hiked and went ice climbing in the morning, headed to the hot springs in the afternoon, then enjoyed a very nice, leisurely meal at The Laundry that night. My final day in Steamboat started off with snowboarding during
the day, then finished with a relaxing evening in the hot tub while a personal chef prepared a three-course meal for dinner. We ate when we were hungry, slept when we were tired, and spent lots of time getting active, all on our own schedule and terms. It was one of the most active and most enjoyable vacations I've experienced, and while Moving Mountains didn't plan all the details, they did facilitate everything we did. Essentially, Moving Mountains, and other, similar customized fitness travel companies, flip the script. They put the power in your hands to plan your own wellness vacation, but then they take over the hassle of scheduling and arranging the details. It's really the best of both worlds. The main challenge, of course, is the cost. High-end rentals, particularly large vacation homes in winter meccas like Steamboat Springs aren't cheap. But then again, high-end fitness resorts aren't cheap, either. Ultimately, it all comes down to expectations and priorities. If you want to plan your own vacation
