The Sierra Nevada
Get hygge with it at this adorable two-bedroom, one-and-half-bathroom A-frame cabin in Arnold‘s Blue Lake Springs subdivision, which sits about a 45-minute drive from the Bear Valley Ski Resort. Property ownership includes access to Fly-In Acres Lake and Snowflake Lodge, which has a restaurant, pool, and a lake. The living area is flooded with light from the wall of windows and has a lofted mezzanine level, plus a fireplace and wood-paneled interiors that give the whole house an air of rustic chic. The house also includes an outdoor deck with room for grilling and outdoor dining in the warmer months.

The Sangre de Cristo Mountains
It’s a straight shot to Ski Santa Fe from this two-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom condo, spread across two levels at the foot of an access road leading right to the ski basin. Highlights include built-in bookshelves, a kiva fireplace in the living room, and stacked laundry in the primary bath. Resident amenities in the complex add a heated outdoor pool, hot tub, storage, and RV parking, offering convenience and endless ways to unwind after a long day on the mountain. Speaking of — Ski Santa Fe has 89 trails, with options for every level, and can be accessed by a 30-minute car ride or via the free bus that makes several stops from downtown Santa Fe to the base of the slopes. (Did we mention the unit is available furnished?)

The Dolomites
If watching the Winter Olympics has inspired you to try out the ski runs of the Dolomites yourself, consider this lovely two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment in the heart of Cortina d’Ampezzo. This storybook home gives off Heidi vibes — it was a hayloft before its 2005 residential transformation. With wooden shutters and a wood-and-stone exterior, the structure is Alpine charm incarnate and offers views of the mountains of San Vito di Cadore, as it’s located at the foot of Mount Antelao. There’s a cozy wood-burning fireplace in the living room, as well as a storage room for skis and boots (or perhaps even a skeleton bobsled or curling equipment?).

The Canadian Shield
Head out on foot to downtown Haliburton for dining and shopping or hop in the car for a short 20-minute drive to Sir Sam’s Ski & Bike, a popular small hill with excellent snow conditions, short lift lines, and 14 runs over Canadian Shield terrain. (There’s also fun weekly races for all ages, with the chance to win bragging rights and a gift card.) The one-bedroom unit also has a small balcony, with enough room for a grill, and a den, which can be used as a home office, allowing powder hounds to squeeze in a quick discussion of KPIs at lunch. There’s a separate storage unit, indoor heated parking, an elevator directly to your floor, a full-sized stacked washer and dryer, and complete condo maintenance, including snow shoveling, so you can grab your skis and hit the mountains at the first sign of a bluebird day.

The Colorado Rockies
Catch the first runs on freshly groomed corduroy at Keystone by heading out your door, as this condo is just 150 yards away from the gondola and the ski lifts. Make this one-bedroom, two-bathroom unit in River Run Village’s Arapahoe Lodge your home base and you’ll be steps away from the village’s popular dining and shopping spots for après-ski drinks and meals. Though the unit is a one-bedroom, the Murphy bed and queen sleeper sofa in the living room means that the residence can easily sleep six — perfect for the whole gang to crash together and shred the gnar. There’s also underground parking, a heated community pool, and an outdoor ice rink in the village, as well as plenty of activities to enjoy in the summer months.

The Catskills
This is the ultimate ski-in/ski-out apartment, with the lift less than 200 feet (or under a minute’s walk) from the front door. This two-bedroom, two-and-half-bathroom condo is just one of eight units at the Pinnacle, one of Hunter Mountain’s most coveted slope-side residences. Two gas fireplaces — one in the living room and one in a bedroom — make it easy to warm up after a cold day on the mountain. Alternatively, hop into the hot tub in the hallway bathroom or sip a mug of hot chocolate on the private balcony. The unit includes a deeded parking space and a dedicated ski locker to keep the slush out. It’s about a five-minute drive to Hunter village and the lodge or eight minutes to Tannersville, or two-and-a-half hours to New York City.
