Aspen, Vail, Telluride. Ski season drives most demand, though summer has picked up noticeably. These are big, remote properties — private staff need to be comfortable with mountain living and able to work without constant supervision.
Colorado's resort communities represent a unique staffing market — properties that may sit largely empty for months before springing to life during ski season or Aspen's famous summer cultural calendar. These homes are often architect-designed mountain estates with significant staff requirements.
Irving Scott places private chefs, house managers, chalets managers, and nannies with families across Aspen's Red Mountain, Vail's Beaver Creek, and Telluride's Mountain Village.
Many positions are seasonal but increasingly families seek year-round staff to maintain properties and be ready for spontaneous visits. Most households also maintain residences in New York, Los Angeles, or Palm Beach.
We've placed seasonal chalet staff and estate managers for properties in Aspen and Vail. Winter demand (November-March) dominates, but summer music festivals are creating year-round roles.
