Aspen, Colorado is a resort community known for its breath-taking views of the area mountains. This high-altitude Colorado town of 6,000 people is a virtual mecca for skiing and climbing enthusiasts who flock to this area from all over the world. The Upper Creek Valley area of this ultra-scenic resort town is the neighborhood of choice for tennis great Martina Navratilova. Martina's nearly seven million dollar, two-story home is probably what most people would consider the true definition of a dream home: An extreme luxury home located in an extreme scenic paradise.

Daring climbers often try their luck here and sometimes even tempt fate on the challenging Pyramid Peak (elevation 14,019 feet) and the Maroon Bells Range (elevation 14,000 feet). Skiiers have a variety of area Mountains to choose from. These mountains include Aspen Mountain (11,212 feet), Buttermilk Mountain (9,900 feet), and Snowmass Mountain (14,092 feet) which is 11 miles from Aspen and boasts the country's largest vertical drop, 4,406 feet.
