The family was visiting Aspen for the holiday weekend. It was not immediately clear where the family was visiting from.
Sheriff spokeswoman Marie Munday says technicians found that a malfunction of the hot water and snowmelt systems led to extreme levels of carbon monoxide.
Autopsies are pending in Grand Junction.
