Skiers Chalet Lodge

Location: Aspen, Colorado
Program: Hospitality
Size: 210,000 SF
Status: In Design
Interiors: MBDS

Lift One Lodge strategically integrates an array of amenities, programming and infrastructure to Aspen’s Ajax Mountain—gracefully expanding one of Colorado’s most iconic ski bases with a contemporary reading of alpine architecture.

Part of a city-wide effort to invest in the South Aspen Street neighborhood, this project contains over 200,000 sq ft of new construction and provides a new portal to Ajax Mountain while maintaining the site’s pedestrian scale and stunning views. Half the programming is located underground (including amenity, commercial, parking and service spaces), taking advantage of the site’s dramatic elevation change.

The buildings contain lodge and residential units, a spa and fitness center, restaurants, skier services, patrol facilities and commercial space. Two historic chalets on the site are repurposed as a lounge and a Ski History Museum. Occupiable roofs create space for pool decks and planted roofs—green infrastructure that reduces heating and cooling requirements and storm water runoff.
