The Melville family didn’t distance themselves from ownership of a local mountainside chalet for too long.
On Tuesday, a limited liability company controlled by Craig Melville acquired Snowmass Mountain Chalet for $10.5 million in a deal culminating after the nonprofit Challenge Aspen withdrew interest in buying the lodge.
Sales records at the Pitkin County Clerk & Recorder’s Office identify the buyer as Mountain Chalet Snowmass LLC and the seller as CA Loan I LLC.
