Aspen Skiing Co. has joined the tiny-house movement.

Skico purchased six “trailer coaches” this fall for about $100,000 each and placed them this week at its Aspen Basalt Campground in the midvalley. Seasonal workers will move into the residences — each with around 500 square feet — by this weekend. If they prove to be suitable during the experiment this winter, Skico might buy more of them from a Colorado manufacturer.

The tiny houses are the first splash made by Philip Jeffreys, a project manager hired by Skico in July specifically to work on affordable-housing issues.

“They said, ‘Philip, get us some beds,’” Jeffreys said. Skico officials estimate they have a shortage of about 600 beds.
