Tim Estin Biography:
I learned to ski before I could walk, went to elementary school (the Yellow Brick) in Aspen, and was a Founding Director of the Tenth Mountain Hut & Trail System* between Aspen and Vail with one of Aspens legends, my friend and mentor, Fritz Benedict. I love living in the valley, I love my work and sharing these passions with others.
In 2007, I served as the Aspen Board of Realtors liaison to the City of Aspen. Before this, I was the Aspen Board of Realtors liaison for the extensive 2006 Pitkin County Land Use Code (LUC) Rewrite approved in July 2006 after a two year review. I also served as a member of the Pitkin County Land Use Code/Technical Advisory Committee advising the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Pitkin County Board of Commissioners on land use issues. These positions have involved communicating policy, political issues and code changes to buyers, sellers and to the Aspen realtor community.
In my non-work hours, I participate in The Buddy Program (an Aspen School District mentoring program), the International Design Conference/Aspen, the Aspen Institute Ideas Festival and local performing arts organizations.
I have a reputation for approachability, creativity, great loyalty and an unbelievable work ethic. If you, your family and/or friends are looking for unparalleled Aspen/Roaring Fork real estate service, information and discretion, please call 970.309.6163 or email me: testin@masonmorse.com
*One of the great outcomes of being involved with the beginning of the Tenth Mountain Hut and Trail system was the opportunity for my family to come together to build the Peter Estin Hut in memory of my Dad . He was a former FIS racer and Dartmouth ski team captain, Director of the Ski Schools at Portillo, Chile and Sugarbush, Vt. and a New Yorker magazine cartoonist. In the early 60's, he wrote, "Ski the American Way" considered a ski teaching classic. (See: www.huts.org)
