Slopeside Condominiums

The property is across the bus lane from Mountain House facilities. The Peru lift is easy to walk too, while the beginner area is just as close. However, this years lack of snow had the area closed and we have a 7yo we were going to teach to ski. So we had to take the bus over to River Run and the gondola. The green bus stop, which is not that far was ok, however for not being use to the altitude and walking in ski gear made the trudge thru the village to the gondola long/tiring/slow. The 2nd day there the Peru lift opened. The 3rd day my 7yo was good enough to take the Peru lift, which made Slopeside an excellent choice to ski out of.... Now no boots are allowed to be worn in the resort, you heard that right. So our process was to wear our shoes and one person took the boots to the truck (in the heated underground garage) while the other collected the skis from the ski locker on the 1st floor. Then we met at the truck put on boot and exited out the side of the building and walked over to the Peru lift. It may sound worse than it really was but after getting into a routine was not too bad. The hot tubs were excellent until they were shut down by the Summit Co. red alert and we were able to go to a couple restaurants until these were shut down as well. Having driven, we brought food to cook and the outdoor grills by the hot tubs/deck/fireplace were convenient. Overall a very satisfying trip. BTW, we are going again in March 2021 and staying in the same condo unit. The Mountain House area is a much quieter and calmer area than the River Run area. However, Both areas have their own excellent qualities. Slopeside is one of the closet condos to a lift without breaking the bank.

We are very pleased with the location. You can walk to all the lifts. And the covered garage is perfect in case of snow and it isn’t that cold. We have a full size refrigerator, which is perfect for covid times because we cook every night. There is no oven but a stove. They also have the perfect spot for learners within walking distance. The magic carpet is perfect for little ones and refreshing your skiing skills. Unfortunately, our room is outdated. I spent a good 45 minutes just cleaning the floors. It doesn’t appear that the rug has been swept under in a very long time. Also I found crumbs of Doritos on the counter. I usually wouldn’t write a review but for what I paid, I am just a little disappointed with the cleanliness. We hope upon our next visit these issues are taken into consideration and corrected.

We booked online through SummitCove Lodging and they were easy to deal with. We picked up our card keys from their office nearby. Parking for Slopeside condos was underground with an automated garage door to keep the weather out. Card keys were required to enter the parking area, buildings, and of course the individual units, so it felt very secure. There were ski lockers in the hall outside our unit 2731 which was next to an outside door. A few stairs led from there to the outdoor walkway toward the Peru Lift in the Mountain House area of the resort. The condo is not literally ski-in/ski-out but is still very convenient, less than a 5 minute walk to the ski rental shop and Peru lift. Our unit was a good size, clean, well decorated, with the amenities we wanted: queen bed, sofa bed, kitchenette, TV, large vanity, hair dryer. We were extremely pleased with our rental. It was also a short walk to the pickup spot for the free buses that take you to other parts of the resort such as River Run where there are shops and restaurants.
