Moving Mountains

What Moving Mountains does

Moving Mountains is a luxury vacation rental management company operating across four premier Colorado ski destinations — Steamboat Springs, Breckenridge, Vail, and Beaver Creek — and a Caribbean yacht charter division called Moving Oceans serving the U.S. and British Virgin Islands. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Steamboat Springs, the company manages a portfolio of 200+ curated luxury properties ranging from condominiums to 9,950-square-foot private estates accommodating groups of 8 to 30 guests. Its technology stack is built around third-party SaaS platforms — TrackHS for property management and availability calendars, Salesforce for CRM, and Medallia Concierge for guest feedback — supported by Matterport virtual tours and a Village Connect shuttle integration for Beaver Creek resort transportation.

The company operates a direct-to-consumer, concierge-led go-to-market model: customers book through the company website or by calling one of three regional phone numbers, then are assigned a dedicated Guest Services specialist who handles all aspects of vacation planning, including private chefs, transportation, lift tickets, ski school, and activity reservations. It generates revenue from property management fees on rental bookings, ancillary concierge services, a mandatory $249 Accidental Rental Damage Coverage per reservation, ancillary pet and credit card fees, HOA services, and real estate brokerage through its mm-real-estate.com platform.

Operations are organized through four Colorado-based LLC entities (Moving Mountains Hospitality LLC, Moving Mountains Steamboat LLC, Moving Mountains Vail Valley LLC, Moving Mountains Breckenridge LLC) and a separate Moving Oceans charter division. The company employs 51–100 people, has been featured in Forbes, Condé Nast Traveler, SKI Magazine, USA Today, and The Boston Globe, and serves affluent family travelers, active outdoor enthusiasts, corporate groups, and yacht charter customers via white-glove service rather than self-service booking.

1. Vacation Rental Bookings: Moving Mountains earns revenue through nightly rental fees for luxury vacation properties. The lodging quotes include rent, cleaning fees, and resort fees. Properties range from condominiums to large private homes accommodating 8-30 guests. Pricing varies by property size, location, and season.
2. Concierge and Guest Services: Additional revenue streams include arranging personal chef services, chauffeur-driven vehicle service, grocery stocking, activities and restaurant reservations, lift tickets, ski school, and ski/snowboard rentals. These services are arranged through the Guest Services Team for an additional fee.
3. Property Management Services: The company manages a portfolio of luxury properties for property owners, offering services including HOA services, property listing, and comprehensive management. This represents a B2B revenue stream from property owner clients.
4. Accidental Rental Damage Coverage (ARDC): Mandatory $249 coverage providing up to $20,000 for accidental damage during stays. This represents an ancillary revenue stream.
