Luxury 5 Bedroom Chalet Ski In/Out (Edge 7)

Edge 7 sits directly on the slopes in Happy Valley, four levels and 4,000 square feet of mountain living built for a large group. You ski into the back of the property at the end of the day, and in the morning you step onto the run and glide down to the Happy Valley Gondola. No shuttle, no car, no hauling gear across a parking lot.

Sleep in Comfort

Five bedrooms spread across the four floors give everyone somewhere to retreat. Three primary king suites each come with a private ensuite, and between them you get a steam shower, a Japanese-style soaker tub and walk-in showers. Two bunk rooms sleep four and five, which handles kids and larger groups without anyone drawing the short straw, and one of them has its own TV and Nintendo Wii. The theatre room adds a Murphy bed for two more, bringing the house to 17. Room-darkening shades, fresh linens, extra pillows and blankets and plush towels for every guest are already in place.

Gather and Unwind

Floor-to-ceiling windows run through the main living areas and pull the alpine view inside. The gourmet kitchen has high-end appliances and an open-concept layout that keeps whoever is cooking in the conversation, with a full dining table for group meals. Evenings settle around the gas fireplace or out in the private hot tub, where the stars come out over the peaks. There is a sauna as well, and a balcony with outdoor furniture and a grill when the weather turns.

Adventure at Your Doorstep

True ski-in/ski-out access puts Big White Ski Resort at the back door, and the free gondola runs from Happy Valley up to the main Village. Steps from the chalet you have the skating rink, the tube park, a kids' magic carpet hill, dog sledding, snowmobile tours and cross-country trails. The on-site steakhouse and lounge means a good dinner without leaving the neighbourhood, and the Okanagan champagne powder is the reason people come back.

Thoughtful Touches

An elevator reaches all four floors, which matters with young kids, ski boots and anyone thinking about stairs. The attached garage holds two assigned parking spaces plus storage for skis and bikes. The theatre room has surround sound and a movie library, the games room has a pool table, a retro video game table and board games, and TVs throughout carry Telus Optik service. Air conditioning and ceiling fans keep summer comfortable, and the house arrives stocked with coffee, tea, cooking basics, laundry detergent and full toiletries. A crib and a travel crib are available for infants.

Sierra Vacation Rentals is based on the mountain and available through your stay, so you can arrive and get straight to the snow.
