When purchasing a ski chalet or winter cabin it is most likely that you will be purchasing in a developed area that offers a multitude of activities for the entire family, such as snowboarding, skating, skiing (downhill and cross-country), snowmobiling, ice fishing, and snowshoeing. Consider the location of the property. How close is it to these activities, the ski village, or the lake for ice fishing? How close are the amenities?

There are many “dream homes” in developed ski areas. Many winter cabins are state-of-the-art log cabins that are rainproof and durable as well as eco-friendly. Such winter cabins may also have skylight windows, fireplaces, hot tubs, and many other luxury features.

If you are purchasing in a ski resort, find out what types of security are available for the area, but more specifically for your property. This becomes more of an issue should you be away for extended periods of time. Keep in mind that many ski resort developments offer security patrol for the community. You may also want to ask your agent about road clearing services during heavy winter snowfalls.
