VOGUE – THE LUXURY SKI HOTELS THAT WILL FULFILL YOUR WINTER WONDERLAND FANTASIES

January 6, 2022

When winter arrives, you might find yourself fantasizing about luxury ski resorts. Imagine an après-ski hot toddy enjoyed after a long day on the slopes; a hearty book read by the hearth; an evening of ice skating while bundled up in scarves, hats, and mittens. As British poet Edith Sitwell once wrote, “Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire.”

Last winter, ski-in, ski-out resort Madeline reopened after an extensive renovation. Adorned in soothing creams, caramels, woods and marbles, it exudes a clean-yet-cozy modern mountain vibe. Step out onto the slopes located right outside your door—perhaps in some Free People ski gear, considering the brand is hosting a pop-up at the hotel all year—and when you return, enjoy a whiskey cocktail and a baked potato topped with crème fraîche caviar at their après-ski watering hole the Timber Room. (Or perhaps a glass of water–since you’ll be located at an altitude above 10,000 feet, remember to stay hydrated.)
