The Boyfriend Ski House: what makes people come back
A ski house is judged on what happens after four o'clock. The skiing is a given; the reason people ask to come back is the drying room, the fire and the sauna.
So the list below is weighted towards the après end of the day, with one pair of skis that will handle whatever the mountain does after lunch.

Ski House FAQ
What should every ski house have?
A boot dryer, somewhere to hang wet layers that is not the bathroom, a fireplace and a sauna. Everything else is decoration. The house is judged on how dry your gear is at eight the next morning.
Is an outdoor sauna practical in the snow?
It is the ideal setting for one — a cedar barrel unit heats in about forty minutes and the temperature contrast is the entire point. Site it within a short walk of a door.
