Givers, doers, and friends
Our company was started in Vail in 1962 (the same year the lifts started spinning!) by three pioneering leaders who saw a big future in Vail and other neighboring mountain resort communities. We’ve since expanded into Summit County, Roaring Fork Valley and the Front Range.
Slifer Smith & Frampton is independently owned and operated with a heavy emphasis on building local relationships and connections, investing in local communities and careers, and pioneering new ways of serving people and doing business.
