as eXecutive Officer of Mountain to Mesa Home Builders Association, Eagle Valley Home Builders Association and a member of CAHB’s

Executive Committee, I work to help our members take advantage of the opportunities that HBA membership offers. Your membership includes a listing in Mountain Builder magazine as well as a subscription to NAHB’s Builder Magazine and discounts at the International Builders Show and other valuable trade shows. Membership in your local HBA also includes membership to the Colorado Association of Home Builders (CAHB) and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). NAHB has played the role as “Consumer Guardian” since 1942, setting the standard for professional ethics, the latest building techniques, and professional resources for the building community. Now is the right time to become involved in your local Home Builders Association! I look forward to hearing from you and to getting to know you as a member of this prestigious professional organization.

Sue Hibbs

r a n D e l l J O h n s O n, a i aon behalf of Mountain to Mesa Home Builders Association (M2M), we are pleased to be a part of bringing you the 2011 Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home and Garden Show. It is through our partnerships with organizations like Mountain Living magazine that we are able to meet M2M’s goals of bringing exposure, advoca-cy, and education to the individuals in our industry that make Aspen to Parachute their home. M2M is focused on meeting the needs of all disciplines involved in home building in our territory (Aspen to Parachute). Whether it is monitoring legislation that will affect us, and advocating our collective positions, or providing “Green Building” classes

through our partnership with Colorado Mountain College, we continually strive to ask our members what is missing, and then look to fi ll the gaps. our affi liation with the National Association of Home Builders and the Colorado Association of Home Build-ers, provides our members with multiple advantages including the ability to access discounted insurance rates. on December 2nd, we are holding our third annual GreenThink Symposium. This all started with asking ourselves, what education is missing locally for our builders, architects and subcontractors on sustainable building. GreenThink 2011 will again focus on the technology, legislation, and fi nances of build-ing green. The home building industry has changed in the past few years. It is more competitive, skilled labor is harder to come by, and our customers continue to be more educated and demanding. I urge you to join us and our available local networks that are working to support you and your success.

Sincerely,

Randell Johnson, AIAMountain to Mesa Home Builders Association President

One Of the highlights Of this year’s paraDe is the Celebrity Chef Catered Private Home Tours featuring Chef Ted Cizma. Cizma is no stranger to Aspen—including one of his early visits as one of Food and Wine magazine’s “Best New Chefs.” Cizma’s list of accomplishments include winning Chicago Maga-zine’s “Best New Restaurant” honors three times, being named a finalist for Chef Magazine’s “Chef of the Year,” consultant and caterer to Walt Disney World and Clear Channel Entertainment, chef/caterer for ESPN’s Winter X Games and guest chef at the James Beard House in New York.

paraDe chair, DaviD fiOre Mountain to Mesa Home Builders Asso-ciation (M2M) is pleased to present the 1st Annual Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and

Home and Garden Show. M2M’s Parade objective is twofold: (1) evaluate the crafts-manship of homes on tour by an unbiased panel of judges from outside the territory who do not have a special interest or conflict on any home the judges are assessing; and (2) celebrate the craftsmanship with a first class media sponsor who understands the unique attributes of mountain building. The Home and Garden Show provides an opportunity to showcase unique building products, crafts, and other exhibits of inter-est. The HGS is geared for homeowners and trade professionals and, thanks to the Town of Snowmass, there is fun for all ages at the Discovery Center adjacent to the show.

Judges were recruited from around the State of Colorado who are builder/professional trade members from the Board of Directors of the Colorado Association of Home Build-ers (CAHB). M2M derives its charter from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and its members are part of CAHB and NAHB. NAHB has played a role as Con-sumer Guardian since 1942 setting the bench mark of professional standards. NAHB’s Home Builder Institute (HBI) is dedicated to advancing the quality of craft, education, and training programs bringing forward in-novation and new building technology to its members and the general public. Homes on tour will be judged on a variety of factors fo-cusing on craftsmanship, building standards, building systems, green building, building products, and other criteria.

M2M, through Merging Rivers Media, publishes Mountain Builder–Aspen and Vail edition–with its sister organization Eagle Valley Home Builders Association. In 2011 M2M and Merging Rivers Media forged a partnership with Mountain Living magazine. Mountain Living is a key partner in this year’s event. The reach Mountain Living provides professionals in our territory was a natural marriage for M2M’s high altitude building professionals. In 2011, distribution of Moun-tain Builder through Mountain Living and local M2M sources exceeded 60,000 copies.

We look forward to seeing you at the Home and Garden Show and on tour!

f rO M O u r M e D i a s p O n s O rSome places reverberate with enchantment and magic. There is no question that the Roaring Fork Valley is one of them and you don’t need Harry Potter’s wand to experience it! I can’t begin to tell you how many residents and visitors to the area have told me, “I feel like I’ve come home.”

When it comes to being home, it’s a special pleasure for Mountain Living to be a part of the first annual Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show. Aspen/Snowmass attracts cutting-edge architects, innovative builders, creative designers, realtors, and some of the world’s finest craftsmen whose goals are to create homes that epitomize luxurious comfort and functionality in both contemporary and traditional residences.

From recently completed homes to the well-established, each property participating in our private and public events celebrates what it is to live in this beautiful valley. Many are located for ski-in/ski-out convenience—always highly desirable—while others are focused on seclusion and privacy within our awe-inspiring landscape. You’ll see the latest in elegant materials and trends and discover fresh resources for custom artistry. All of these homes address the increasing importance of energy efficiency and sustainable practices. The exceptionally high caliber of creative imagination and experience among those related to our building industry leads to a high degree of competitiveness. The results benefit the community and the homeowner alike, raising the bar ever higher.

Aspen/Snowmass is a four-season destination. Anyone who visits quickly sees that it’s not just about skiing, hiking, wilderness adventure or spiritual solitude. It’s about all of those and so much

more. World-class shopping and dining, festivals, family fun, art and literature, paleontology, geology—and residents drawn from around the world—imbue the community with an unceasing and unique energy seldom found in one location.

I join with our partners to invite everyone to participate in an event sure to become a highlight of the annual summer season. Dream your way home. Step into the magic!

FRIDAY TWIL IGHT TouR

DescriptiOnAspen’s mountains and valleys are alive with the sound of music, and the views can stop you in your tracks. But beyond its world-class outdoor activities, ultra-fi ne dining and shopping, many fi nd a peace and serenity here long missing in the media-jammed chaos of the outside world. If you long for a sanctuary that can nurture your soul, this elegant contemporary home, fi lled with light, thoughtfully designed, and surrounded by award-winning landscaping will enchant you!

Key architectural features include over 200 linear feet of rammed-earth wall, vertical rusted panels, sandblasted masonry block, and zinc roofi ng. Divided into a public zone, private master wing, and a separate guest/children’s wing, careful attention to detail has created comfortable, welcoming living spaces. An artfully orchestrated mix of lighting sources subtly emphasizes the home’s architecture, furnishings, and landscape, while the materials palette combines earthen tones and textures to echo its natural surroundings. Alongside premium fi nishes and luxurious accoutrements, furnishings complement the bold architecture yet retain the warmth of a real home.

Walls of sliding-glass panels open to a private courtyard complete with the quiet grace of an invisible-edge, Asian-style pool. The meandering grounds, framed by a Bruno Romeda sculpture, invite you to stroll among wide expanses of lawn, huge arcs of fl owers, and almost 100 cottonwood, spruce, Austrian pine, and maple trees.

More than a home, this property’s special ambiance invites you to stay awhile, think about life’s big questions, connect with nature’s magnifi cent creations—or simply invite a crowd and party hearty.

INDEPENDENCE PASS RESIDENCE HoME 03 ASPEN

DescriptiOnTucked neatly into its gorgeous natural surroundings and shielded from the highway, this unique, one-of-a-kind energy-effi cient home emerges from its setting to strike a signature silhouette against the sky. Its orientation, adjacent to a pond and with stunning views of forest and mountain peaks beyond, emphasizes the property’s environmental unity.

Considerable attention has been given to integrating the land’s natural features with those of the buildings to create inviting outdoor living spaces. Flagstone patios around existing rock outcroppings, two water features, a built-in BBQ and fi re pit, solid mahogany decking, glass rails, and well-designed lighting and sound generate welcome harmony.

over the course of construction, a team of fi ne craftsmen coordinated sophisticated interior materials and fi nish work. The great room features a concrete and site-stone open fi replace, cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling with fi r beamwork, mahogany fl oors, and claro walnut cabinetry. A spiral staircase with glass treads and rusted-steel frame fl oats upward and, throughout the house, luxurious detail reigns. The master suite is

the ultimate in comfort and design, with its bath showcasing a marble-slab shower and carved-stone bathtub, a fl agstone fl oor, and a three-sided fi replace open to the bedroom.

This property is not just a home, it is an experience. It is a roadmap for living beautifully while honoring your environment.

DescriptiOnAt the base of Aspen Highlands ski resort a superbly appointed traditional mountain home comprises the central melody to a full orchestra of amenities. The artistic sensibilities of architect Jamie Brewster McLeod and interior designer Karen Moore have blended luxury, comfort, and functionality to create the ultimate in harmonious living.

Throughout the home, a warm, welcoming palette of color and texture emphasize its exceptional architectural elements. Rough-

hewn custom beam trusses, distressed walnut fl oors, plaster walls, a central staircase featuring a hand-forged aspen leaf railing, and moss stone columns and fi replaces combine in an open fl oor plan that integrates main gathering spaces and can accommodate a crowd. A kids’ bunk room outfi tted with six bunks, game table, and decorated with stone impressions of bear paws and animal silhouettes will delight the youngsters. In fi ne weather, entertainment can expand outdoors easily to a large patio with fi replace, dining area, built-in BBQ, and an award-winning spa.

While this four-story house is designed to accommodate 22 people during holidays or special family gatherings, two people can easily enjoy the private top-fl oor master suite and the main level without having to access the rest of the house.

Surrounded with fresh air and soul-refreshing mountain scenery, this is truly Shangri-La in the Rockies!

i n s n OW M a s s v i l l ag e , c O l O r a D O, some things change and some things stay the same. As we host the very first Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show this summer, we’re reminded that the same majestic natural beauty that has existed since prehistoric times endures today. Millions of visitors attest that the year-round allure of Snowmass keeps them coming back for more. So much so that many vacationers chose to make their part-time home in Snowmass over the past forty years; as time goes on these same folks are transitioning to full time residents. There are many reasons why the magic of Snowmass takes hold of so many, and we’re excited to share them with you during this very special weekend in July.

Mountain to Mesa Home Builder Association and Mountain Living magazine are partnering with us in Snowmass Tourism for the first annual Roaring Fork Valley Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show. The event welcomes visitors and residents to tour some of the area’s most handsome residences – featuring new construction and artfully executed remodels – with both complimentary and special ticketed, chef-catered private tours.

Concurrent with the home tours, the Snowmass Mall will be the site of a free expo where architects, general contractors, product and service vendors of the building, home and garden industry will be on hand to share

their expertise and offerings. Snowmass was an early adopter of sustainable construction practices, and its local and regional contractors are some of the best “green” builders in the nation. As thought leaders in this specialized area of construction, Mountain to Mesa Home Builder Association teaches and promotes these progressive practices to its members. Every visitor to the Parade of Homes and Home & Garden Show will have an opportunity to learn more about sustainable building and homes that support this lifestyle.

With summer in full swing, there will be plenty more to enjoy in the Snowmass area July 15 through 17. From nature walks to single tracks, gondola rides to whitewater adventure, a free outdoor concert on July 14, a visit to historic Anderson Ranch Arts Center, the Treehouse Kids’ Adventure Center or a round of golf, there is a wealth of activities perfectly suited to your group or family. our new Ice Age Discovery Center, next to Gene Taylor Sports on the Snowmass Mall, celebrates our now famous (and former) prehistoric residents: mastodons, mammoths , a giant sloth, ancient bison, deer, horses and even a camel. It’s why you’ll hear locals saying, “I Dig Snowmass.” Kids can visit this free and interactive venue during the Home & Garden Show and learn more about the Snowmass Ice Age dig site, the animals whose bones have been discovered, and the fascinating work of the Denver Museum of Nature & Science paleontologists.

The Parade of Homes and the Home & Garden Show celebrates quality, value, and enduring appeal, ideals that align perfectly with Snowmass. Please visit us during this fi rst-ever event in July to experience our amazing alpine setting, gracious homes and warm hospitality. Find out more at www.snowtourism.com.

DescriptiOnIf the Colorado Rockies are a glorious state of mind, then this modern two-level home, with its emphasis on select natural materials and a striking blend of design elements, reveals the heart of mountain living.

A rugged stone wall begins at the driveway, continues through the entryway and on into the rooms beyond—a warm invitation to embrace nature’s bounty indoors and out. The home’s main level is accessed via a dramatic stairway with tempered glass guard rail and brushed steel accents. Walls of windows frame majestic mountain peaks, forested wilderness, and four ski areas. The open fl oor plan fl ows gracefully beneath coffered ceilings and timbered arches, fl ickering fi replaces offer a cozy haven on cold winter days, and the gourmet kitchen provides ample space to mingle with guests while preparing meals. Custom cabinetry fi gures prominently in several rooms, artfully mixing fi gured anigre with walnut inlays and accents, fi gured eucalyptus, and alder. Extending the home’s sense of space and luminosity,

Art Deco glass, etched-glass master bath surrounds, and glass block and mirrors allow light to echo from room to room.

This is a property that opens itself to the joyful ambiance of the Snowmass/Aspen setting. It combines comfort and luxury with highly sought after elegance.

highlights• 3,000 square feet• 4 bedrooms• 4.5 baths• 2 car garage

DescriptiOnTalk about a Rocky Mountain High! This spectacular contemporary mountain-top retreat is completely off the grid and totally secluded. Sited in an unbeatable 9.52-acre setting, surrounded by national forest, Midnight Ridge is the ultimate recreational property. Hundreds of miles of trails, snow-capped mountain views, ski-in/ski-out convenience, abundant wildlife, and year-round access—what more could you ask of a King-of-the-Mountain luxury home? It’s all here, from the best of green and sustainable features and dramatic architecture to an airy, open interior embodying warmth, color, and comfort.

Construction of a one-of-a-kind property presents enormous challenges to master the demands of both a dramatic climate and the need for exceptional aesthetics.

Environmentally friendly technology and materials were employed at every step.

The home’s luxurious amenities are abundantly clear. Three bedroom suites cluster around a great room that fl ows into a strikingly designed adjacent

entertainment kitchen, and lounge areas, loft, southern deck, and terraced patio all invite your viewing pleasure. Interior fi nishes include stone and travertine masonry, cast concrete counters, heavy timber beams, and rich woods.
