Mountain Penthouse with Elevator, Ski-In/Ski-Out and Pet Friendly

You take the elevator to the tenth floor of the Moguls building and step into a penthouse with nobody above you and nobody beside you. The windows carry the whole village and the Monashee Mountains beyond it. Two bedrooms sleep eight, one well-behaved dog is welcome by prior approval, and the Moguls Track is a few floors below you.

Top of the Building

Privacy is the point up here. The living room has a large couch, a few single chairs and a smart TV, plus a closet and a shelf that swallow ski gear before it reaches the floor. Board games fill the shelves for the evenings the weather closes in. The fireplace is decorative only and does not produce heat, which is worth knowing before you arrive.

A Bunk Room Built for a Crowd

The first bedroom is quiet and simple: a queen bed, two side tables and lamps. The second bedroom is where the group ends up, with two sets of double-over-double bunk beds, a sofa, a 43-inch smart TV, a game console and its own ensuite with a shower. Kids and teenagers claim it immediately. The main bathroom has a shower of its own, and the ensuite off the second bedroom holds the washer and dryer along with plenty of counter space.

Onto the Moguls Track

Ski right into the back of the building and walk through the doors on floor six or eight, then ride the elevator home. Going out works the same way in reverse, dropping you onto the Moguls Track, which runs down to the Plaza Chair, the Ridge Rocket and the Snow Ghost. Downstairs in the building there is a communal hot tub, a sauna, a games room, a ski locker and a wax room. The hot tub and sauna open for the winter season only.

Village Within Reach

Five minutes on foot puts you in the heart of the village, where the restaurants, shops, market and the gondola down to Happy Valley are all lined up. Underground Pizza, Fourth Ace Smokehouse, Sasquatch Sushi and the Cabin Kitchen and Bar are the ones the host sends people to. Park in your assigned underground stall on arrival and you will not need the car again.

The kitchen backs all of it up with an espresso machine, a drip coffee maker, an electric kettle and a large table with four chairs and bench seating, plus coffee, tea, filters, salt, pepper and cooking oil already on the shelf.
