Gravity Haus, a company that combines hotel rooms, workspaces, and gyms in mountain destinations, operates 13 properties across the western U.S. and British Columbia. The model targets people who want to spend more time outdoors while maintaining work and family obligations.
Founder and CEO Jim Deters describes one use case: a parent driving from Denver drops children at ski school, then uses a Gravity Haus membership as a base for the day. The property provides workspace, gym access, meals, and shelter from traffic, allowing the parent to ski before the family drives home in the evening. The company earns revenue from this member despite them not needing an overnight room.
Deters built Gravity Haus to make mountain life easier to fit around work and family schedules. The business model depends on securing properties in competitive mountain markets and persuading customers to adopt this membership approach to outdoor living.
