From the chopped neck
David Berg's Compass team secured the listing for remaining Limelight Residences Mammoth condominiums in September, positioning the firm inside one of California's last attainable branded-ski plays before the 2026-27 season. The developer, Aspen-based The Little Nell Group, built 99 units at 8,000 feet elevation. Berg's remit covers the final 23 unsold one- to four-bedroom residences, with entry at $1.5 million and penthouses approaching $4.5 million. The property sits 400 yards from Canyon Lodge on Mammoth Mountain, which logged 1.9 million skier visits in the 2024-25 season—11% behind Vail's Park City but 22% ahead of Deer Valley.
The Little Nell Group launched Limelight Mammoth in 2022 with phased releases. Berg's appointment follows 76 closings since opening, a 77% sell-through rate that trails Vail Resorts' competing residences at Northstar (89% sold) but outpaces independent projects in Tahoe's north shore (62% average). Limelight's flag carries weight: the brand operates four hotels in Aspen, Ketchum, Snowmass, and Mammoth, offering owners reciprocal privileges and rental-pool access. Mammoth's version includes ski valet, heated pools, and a 3,200-square-foot fitness facility. Berg told trade press the remaining inventory skews toward larger formats—two 2,100-square-foot three-bedrooms and five 2,800-square-foot four-bedrooms remain, alongside 16 smaller units.
The timing reflects tightening supply in the branded-ski category. Vail Resorts paused new residence projects at Heavenly and Kirkwood after selling out $340 million in Keystone inventory in 18 months. Aspen Snowmass saw new-construction pricing cross $3,500 per square foot in Q2 2026, up 14% year-over-year, while Park City's branded segment recorded $2.9 billion in trailing-twelve-month sales—19% of Utah's luxury market. Mammoth offers a $1,200-per-square-foot average, roughly 60% below Aspen and 40% below Park City, with California tax treatment and 300 days of annual sunshine. The resort's Alterra ownership (Deer Valley, Solitude, Palisades Tahoe) adds Ikon Pass alignment, a factor Berg's team emphasizes in marketing to coastal families seeking ski access without Colorado's 2026 price floors.
Operators should watch Q4 2026 absorption velocity and whether Berg's team moves the larger penthouses before Thanksgiving. If the final 23 units clear by December, it signals California's higher-net-worth cohort still views Mammoth as viable despite Aspen's prestige pull. If inventory lingers past ski season, expect developers to recalibrate future mountain projects in the $1M–$3M band. The Little Nell Group has zoning approval for a second Mammoth phase—44 units on adjacent parcels—but has not committed to a groundbreaking date.
Compass logged $2.1 billion in branded-residence sales across 12 U.S. markets in 2025, making the firm's luxury division a bellwether for the category. Berg's Limelight win adds California ski inventory to a portfolio that includes St. Regis Deer Valley and Montage Big Sky. The remaining Mammoth units represent $58 million in gross potential sales, a modest book by Aspen standards but meaningful for a resort town with 8,400 permanent residents and limited new supply. The first penthouse contract is expected before October.
The takeaway
Berg's **$58M** Limelight inventory tests Mammoth's pricing ceiling as Aspen and Park City tighten branded-ski supply into **2027**.

Your next customer won't visit your website. Their AI will.
AI assistants have quietly taken over the first step of buying — they answer from catalogs they can read and shortlist whoever can actually ship. Two questions now decide whether you exist to that buyer: can a machine read your catalog, and can you fulfill the order. Most brands fail one or both and never find out why the orders went elsewhere. The winners of this shift aren't the loudest. They're the most readable. Build for the machine that's about to do the shopping.
