    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
    2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
    3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
    4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
    5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
    6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
