Winter Rentals Are Snowballing
Charles Phanumphai • September 20, 2024
With the school year in full swing and fall around the corner, many families are already shifting their focus to the upcoming 2024-2025 winter ski season and securing the perfect accommodations for their stay in the mountains near Winter Park or Granby Ranch. Whether it's planning the ultimate family vacation or locking in a seasonal rental, parents are taking steps to ensure they have everything lined up in time for the snow.
At Snow Capped, we’ve been busy helping families find their ideal winter homes. Just in the past week, we’ve successfully matched five families with cozy, well-located properties for the upcoming season. As the demand for winter rentals ramps up, we anticipate similar success in the coming months, steadily placing renters into homes until all our vacant properties are filled.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. We’re also continuously onboarding new properties, expanding our portfolio to meet the growing needs of winter travelers. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to maximize your rental income by offering your property for the winter, or a family searching for a well-suited mountain retreat, Snow Capped has the expertise and resources to help you.
Our team is here to guide you through the process, ensuring that both homeowners and renters have a seamless experience. If you’re interested in renting out your property for the season or finding the perfect place for your winter escape, we’re ready to assist. Reach out today and discover how Snow Capped can make your winter plans a reality!

Winter Park's aerial transit system is moving through a serious planning process, and if you're renting, buying, or owning property here, it's worth understanding where things stand. Locals have heard this before. The town's own website calls this vision three decades in the making, and most of us have watched it surface and disappear more than once. What's different now is the structure: a rezoned base area, a $2 billion master plan, Alterra on record financing the gondola, and for the first time, specific design concepts in front of Town Council.
Not Ready to Sell? Renting Could Be the Perfect Next Step.

Spring & Summer 2026: More Options, Less Risk
Charles Phanumphai, owner of Snow Capped Properties in Grand County, Colorado, recently shared insights on burnout, entrepreneurship, and long-term success in real estate. Charles explained that avoiding burnout starts with finding work you genuinely enjoy, while also intentionally creating balance through family time, travel, fitness, and experiences outside of work. As a business owner and father, he prioritizes being present with his children and setting healthy boundaries around work in the evenings. Charles’ journey into real estate began in 2000 when he purchased his first “house hack” while attending college. At the same time, he built a 20+ year career in IT and workforce management. Over the years, he combined those two backgrounds to create Snow Capped Properties — a vertically integrated company focused on long-term and seasonal rentals, property management, and real estate sales throughout Grand County. He credits much of his success to three key principles: analyzing data, taking calculated risks, and trusting the process. His IT background helped shape a data-driven mindset that allows him to make strategic decisions based on market trends, rental performance, and long-term investment fundamentals rather than emotion. He also emphasized that success did not happen overnight, but instead came through years of consistent, disciplined progress. Charles also discussed the importance of adaptability in today’s evolving real estate market and the value of building long-term relationships rooted in professionalism, transparency, and trust.
