Author: Jez Rourke
Photographers follow celebrities every where they go, from
the grocery store and the nail salon to a night club and
even the doctor's office. But where do celebrities go when
they are looking to hit the slopes?
With hundreds of ski resorts located all across the world,
the rich and famous look to go to the most elite and
fabulous resorts they can find. Here is a list of ski
resorts that celebrities have either been spotted or call
their home.
Aspen, Colorado
If you're looking to share the slopes with a wide variety
of celebrities, than look no further than Aspen, Colorado.
Located in the Rocky Mountains region, this ski resort town
is the home to many celebrities. Because of its quaint
atmosphere, celebrities levitate here to get away from the
hustle and bustle associated with New York City and Los
Angeles. John Denver once had a house in Starwood, which is
within close proximity to Aspen. Singer Mariah Carey has
also visited Aspen, spending the last few Christmas
holidays there. Other actors and actresses that call Aspen
their home are Kevin Costner, Goldie Hawn, Kurt Russell,
Jack Nicholson, Felicity Huffman and Michael Douglas.
Sun Valley, Idaho
A small town with only approximately 1,400 residents, many
celebrities flock to Sun Valley to get away from their
hectic lives. Sun Valley utilizes Bald Mountain which has a
9150 feet incline and a 3400 feet vertical drop. Ernest
Hemingway has been said to have stayed in suite 206 of the
Lodge during the fall of 1939. During his stay, Hemingway
finished one of his most famous novels, For Whom the Bell
Tolls. He became a part-time resident of Sun Valley for
approximately 20 years and in 1966 a Hemingway Memorial was
constructed about a mile from the lodge. Other celebrities
known to make their way to Sun Valley include Teresa Heinz
Kerry, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore and
Ashton Kutcher.
Chamonix Mont-Blanc, France
Across the Atlantic Ocean and nestled in the Alps is one of
the most famous ski resorts in the world. The Chamonix
Mont-Blanc in France is home of the world's longest ski
run, the Vallée Blanche, which is 13.7 miles in length.
This resort features the highest peak in the Alps, as well
as the second highest peak in Europe. Situated at the foot
of Mont-Blanc, the resort became famous in 1924 when it
hosted in the Winter Olympic games. Since then, the rich
and famous have not been able to stay away.
