Foothill Crew #05

Well jeez… it was a frigid one the last few days 🥶. Hope everyone was able to enjoy the holiday weekend, whether posting up indoors by the fire or braving it outside. As I heard recently- there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad attitudes and bad layering.
(I guess I’m at the age of lecturing others that “kids aren’t as tough as back in my day” 🙄 )

The Crew has been growing, with over a hundred new members joining recently. Big welcome 👋 to these folks, and sincere thank you to the crew members who have been here all along.

As always, feel free to reach out on IG @foothillcrew and say hi, suggest some favorite spots you want covered, or share any feedback.

P.S. Speaking of Foothill Crew members, shout out to one of the youngest members, Tommy Becker, for his birthday this past week. If you see him around town, give him a congrats, but hold off on buying him a beer… he needs a few more birthdays before that’s allowed.

Procrastinate at work and browse this mansion…

Say you want to live in the foothills, but also are inspired by the Palace of Versailles, and happen to have a spare $60 million laying around…well do we have a house for you! Located in Evergreen, with 270 degree views of the mountains, washer & dryer in each room (totally necessary), and a 1,500 bottle wine cellar, this place is really immaculate. Show off your sophistication and grandeur to your friends with “the sexiest chateau in America.”

If anyone is interested how a $60M price tag stacks up relative to the highest home sales in Colorado history… well, the bidding war has a ways to go. This Aspen retreat sold last summer for a whopping $108M.

**If by some crazy chance someone does purchase this house after seeing this newsletter, you’re obligated to host the Foothill Crew for a house warming party. I don’t make the rules, just enforce them.
