Ski Condo Amenities: What’s Hot, What’s Not?
People have their favorite places to ski. They have their favorite places to eat. They even have their favorite way to get to the slopes. When it comes to selecting a ski condo, having the right amenities can make all the difference in the experience of going skiing. While some people have very specific nuances of what they need/want, we will get you started with four important amenities to look for in a ski condo that will truly enhance your experience.
- Ski-in/ski-out access: One of the most valuable amenities for a ski condo is direct access to the slopes. This allows people to easily hit the mountain without having to worry about transportation or parking. It also means it is easier, more private, and a flexible way to take breaks during the day or go back to the condo for lunch without disrupting the ski experience (not to mention saving a few dollars on lodge prices).
- Hot tub, sauna, or steam shower: After a day on the slopes, nothing beats soaking in a hot tub or sauna to soothe sore muscles and relax. A steam shower is a whole other level of a way to unwind and get ready for the evening or the next day. These amenities also provide a social space for groups or families to gather and unwind together.
- Fireplace: Most hotels do not have fireplaces in the individual units (though you can often find them on the public patio/deck of the property). There is just something about a cozy fireplace within the living space that adds warmth and ambiance to a ski condo. It’s the perfect spot to gather around with loved ones and reflect on the day’s adventures while sipping on hot cocoa, watching a movie or playing games.
- Fully equipped kitchen: Having a fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals and snacks at your convenience. This saves time and money while providing flexibility in the day’s schedule. Enjoying meals with friends and family in the comfort of the condo adds to the bonding and long-term memories of the trip.
Having the right amenities can greatly enhance the overall ski vacation experience. They provide convenience, comfort, and relaxation after a long day on the slopes. When choosing a ski condo, consider which amenities are most important to ensure a memorable and enjoyable trip. Search for those amenities within sites and listings. It is amazing what is available to be used and enjoyed.
