The altitude is approximately 9,100 feet, so that&#8217;s why you are seeing snow on the condo in the above picture.<\/p>\n<p>I will say, it is much nicer to stay in a condo than to stay in a hotel room. Fireplace, large-screen televisions, a couch, full kitchen, two bathrooms&#8211;in other words, all the comforts of home without the cramped-in feel of a hotel room.<\/p>\n<p>The views around this area are breathtaking.
