Mariah Carey Eyes Aspen Home  12/29/06

Pop star Mariah Carey hopes to build a house in Aspen, Colorado after spending 10 Christmases in the mountain town.

The hit maker visits the ski resort every year - despite the fact she can't ski or snowboard.

Carey tells AspenPeak magazine, "I really would like to have a place in Aspen one day. I'm a very specific person.

"I built the place where I live now (in New York), and I've built places before. I kind of like things to be exactly how I like them. We know what that process takes a billion years and a billion dollars!

"I think something on the outskirts would be cool, but I could come in if I wanted to. I really like the serenity, and it looks like something out of an incredible painting. It's so gorgeous. It's not just about celebrity moments there. It's about fun. I actually go tubing all the time.
