I live in socal and do this at Mammoth. It allows me to ski 30-40 days a year, although there is a ton of driving.

You might want to go to the Teton Gravity Research forums and post this. There are lots of people there in Denver who do exactly this and could probably help you out. It is an older crowd, so more weekend warriors in your situation. You might also want to check Craig's list.
 
25 an just moved to denver from Alaska trying to figure out the best way to log ski days with the drive to the mountains being so far... contemplating the idea of a winter friends house

With aging NSers, this might actually be pretty good on here too.

I wonder if there would be enough people interested to start up a new forum for it?

I think that could be the start of a new section all you need is a handful of people to make it under $300 for a place. Also getting people that use it during weeks an a few that will use it on weekends makes it even cheaper. Almost like a winter time share. Let's make it happen so I can be a weekend warrior first year I have to work year round ;(

idk if it would require a whole new section, my bet is that the section would be dead most of the time and no one would see the listings
 
The Summit County housing market is super tight, and it only gets tighter as winter approaches with seasonal employees moving in. I know this isn't a very helpful post, but just wanted to let you know that you'll want to lock something in as soon as you can.

We have a group in Mammoth that rents a ski lease every year. It is 385 a month, so it is pricey, but when you think of what a decent place in Mammoth would cost during the xmas to New Years eve it makes sense. I take two one week trips a year and go about 3 weekends a month so it makes financial sense. Plus, you don't have to plan when you go up. If all 5 couples go for the same weekend it is crowded, but that has not happened yet.

There are other leases which are less expensive, but they tend to be more crowded. That is really not a big deal, it is awesome to have a place to crash whenever you want and if you intend to go often it is almost essential.

For you guys thinking about doing this the first thing to do is to find a group and figure out budget. These types of setups are very common in Tahoe, reasonably common in Mammoth and I would assume there are some in Summit.

It really is the way to go if you want to be a weekend warrior and live more than 90 minutes from your mountain, even though it is pretty pricey. We pay quite a bit but if you are willing to deal with crowds you can drop the price quite a bit.

Randy

Check "The Edge" @ Copper. I stayed there last year. Is $350 a month and all you have to do is "work" as a volunteer a couple of days in order to apply as a Copper Employee.

I hope it helps
 
I think there would be a lot of people interested in something like this. It might not get much traffic atm (summer NS) but being able to use NS as a resource for finding a place to ski bum would be fucking amazing.. Remember that NS hood house thread? Hugely popular and works out.
