Aspen Mountain Chalet

Redeveloping an Aspen Landmark

Roaring Fork Engineering is providing civil engineering services for the complete renovation and redevelopment of the Mountain Chalet in the heart of Aspen. This 62,000 sq. ft. project transforms the historic property into a modern, full-service destination with upgraded utilities, enhanced stormwater management, and improved site access.

Challenges & highlights

As Engineer of Record for the Basalt Sanitation District, we oversee projects ranging from wastewater treatment facilities to collection system improvements.

We serve multiple districts across Colorado’s mountain communities and have partnered with Basalt Sanitation District since 2018. This long-term relationship reflects our commitment to consistent results.

The results

Our long-standing relationship and proven track record allow us to help the District make informed, long-term decisions that strengthen the community and better serve its customers.

Through nearly a decade of partnership, we have developed deep institutional knowledge of the District’s systems, allowing us to solve problems more efficiently and approach planning holistically.

During our tenure as District Engineer, we have helped secure over $1.5 million in grant funding for capital projects, completed a rate study to guide the next 30 years of service, and established a financial plan that supports long-term stability alongside future improvements.
