With ever more people catching on to the thrill and spectacle of the mountains, the choice of ski hotels has become mind-boggling - and overwhelmingly mediocre. In this volume Herbert Ypma, himself an avid skier, proves that there are alternatives to the tired formulae of the typical resort hotel. You can go for a remote lodge in the Canadian Rockies or Wild West authenticity, alpine log cabin or sleek contemporary style.
