Elevated Snowmass, led by Hotelier Stephane De Baets, gave an initial presentation to the Snowmass Village Town Council and Planning Commission during a joint work session Monday on the potential redevelopment of the Viewline, Snowmass Conference Center and Wildwood Lodge into the Ritz Carlton.

De Baets, owner of the St. Regis in Aspen and Redstone Castle, acquired the Snowmass property last year.

"My love story with the valley started about 16 years ago, when my company acquired the St. Regis in Aspen," De Baets said at the session. "Last year, we had this wonderful opportunity to acquire what I believe is one of the best pieces of real estate in North America, which is the Viewline, Conference Center and the Wildwood."
