10 Ski-inspired Accessories for Your Next Winter Getaway
Whether it’s for your own home or your host’s, these items are at the peak of every mountain enthusiast's list
There’s nothing like the feeling of the cold air against your face as you look down the slope and take in the view at the top of a snowy mountain. Yes, it can be daunting, and the temperature may be below freezing, but there is something about being outdoors no matter the elements that gives one a sense of accomplishment. And, of course, at the end of your day comes the best part, après ski! Who wouldn’t want to sit fireside with a cup of hot cocoa or something stronger after expending all of that energy or better yet, continue the calorie burning by hitting up an epic dance party at an Alpine club Slim Aarons style?
It’s undeniable that the ski experience is like no other, and in a mountain town, it’s okay to lean into the theme of why you are there. Elements of wood and stone mixed with Earth tones, textured fabrics and rustic décor like antlers and plaid always seem to be a go-to for many a ski chalet. If you are looking to refresh your own ski home or if you need a good hostess gift after being invited by a friend, you can’t go wrong with choosing ski inspired items to accessorize.
